Hey, this is Mister Chris, I'm the Advancement Chairman for a Scout Troop in the Memphis Area, Troop Ole97. This band has formed to create an album to sell to our Alumni from this 65-year-old troop to support the work of the troop. Those songs that are original works by me I am pumping up here onto SoundClick so that you can listen to them. All other members of the band are Scout Leaders or Eagle Scouts themselves.

Story behind the song
Yesterday I got a call. A man I respect had passed away. I had to sit down. It is a tremendous loss for our District, even our Council. I've known this man for years. I've called him at the last minute to set up an Eagle Scout BoardOfReview(BOR) for a boy, and he was willing to drop whatever he was doing to come sit for the BOR. He challenged each scout to be a leader in his community, in his nation. To be worthy of the high calling of Eagle Scout. I'm saddened by the loss, and often my emotions are expressed in song. Last night I couldn't sleep until I had struggled out this song about him. It truly expresses my opinion.
Lyrics
The Eagle Man (c)2007 by Christopher M Solaas Got a call today... A great man had passed away... He was ancient and scarred Except for his heart... It was young. Well, they called him 'The Eagle Man' Every eagle knew his name They would all come to rest... And some built their nests... On his arms... Chorus: Like a mighty white oak tree In the forest of this life Giving his time So each one could find His wings and take flight And the greatest joy he found Was to watch those eagles fly No wonder this one Had a heart that was young Since he flew with the eagles As they took to the sky. What a hole we leave in this life When we move on to the next... Those left behind Need God's help to find The strength to go on... We must pick up the torch We must carry on the work So another may find His wings and take flight And be free... Chorus:
