Teachers & Travellers was the creative response of a gifted soul to the experience of the More To Life Weekend.
Known across Tennessee as a writer and singer of songs with haunting melodies and evoking lyrics, Maggie Longmire had stopped performing professionally for 17 years when a friend enrolled her into taking this course. There she discovered “some new ways of looking at life, and new ways of learning from it.”
The result was Teachers & Travellers, in which each song presents her personal insights into this work, bringing its deepest themes vividly and clearly to life.
