Description
"The Longest Time," written by Billy Joel, arranged by Roger Emerson, performed for the second time by Cory Blackmon, Cooper Case, Mark Denman, Chris Bandy, JP Stephens, and John Frederick. Ten years ago, some of the guys from our church choir mentioned that they wanted to sing "The Longest Time" for fun. I said that my dad had a recording studio, and so we could record it! And so we got together for four hours and practiced it and recorded it. Three years later, in May 2019, the video went viral on YouTube, and now it has almost 6 million views. I reached out to the guys back in November to see if they wanted to do a ten-year reunion. Everyone was down for it, and we met in the same room and re-recorded it. It is finally here. Enjoy.
