I've watched it at least 75 times & still get teary eyed because it's so beautiful!

    Tim and Austin have started a side project with Chris Chatham, Jeffrey East and Ernie Hanks (all of whom are song writers), along with Tim's sister-in-law Laurie Marion (a violinist) called "Sweet & Low Music Co." They put out a couple of live streams and intend to keep doing so when they're not touring/recording/videotaping with Home Free and doing stuff on their own channels. (Tim also does fund raising for veterans charities and Austin often joins him). I'm not sure when they get time to breathe much less keep writing songs!

I was pretty impressed with Rob & Austin's version of Nessun Dorma. I have heard this famous song done by Pavarotti.
