What do I want? Money, awards, exposure? Nope. I just want to be in the room where it happens.

An all-star meeting is assembled in Nashville to see who is interested in being involved in the making of a Rich Mullins tribute album.

Where were you when you heard the news that Rich Mullins had died in 1997? We find out from Andrew Peterson, John J. Thompson, Beth Snell Lutz, and other that knew him. Plus more developments in our tribute album.

The tribute album is presented to a major record label in Nashville.

A trip to Nashville in February 2017 results in some positive momentum for the tribute album.

We look at how Amy Grant's 1982 release changed the career of Rich Mullins, plus we talk with Rich's old bandmate from Zion, Beth Snell Lutz.

How does one go about making a Rich Mullins Tribute Album? Let's find out!
