I’m sharing another favorite Pickin and Grinnin in the Kitchen Spot with you today.
We filmed “Oh I Want to See Him” way back in 2008, just a few months after I started Blind Pig and The Acorn. I guess a lot of other folks like it too. The video has been watched over 27,000 times on Youtube.
The song was written by R.H. Cornelius. It’s one of those songs I know every word of, but have no memory of learning. It was sung often at church when I was a child.
I like the video so much because there’s not that many videos of Pap singing the verses alone. I especially like the firm manner in which Pap sings the words. It’s easy to see and hear he believes in what he’s saying. One other thing I love is Paul’s flat-top picking. It is outstanding in this video.
I hope you enjoyed the video as much as I do.

We’ve sung this song over the years at our church too….and that true believing was the very subject of our message this morning…. believing even when ……so enjoyed listening to them sing and play it,
Just wonderful! I have never heard this song, but it is upbeat!
Love this video! Great pickin and singin, had me toe-tappin the whole time! I agree with the comment above, what an outstanding way to start a Sunday!
Thank you so much for sharing that video. I remember my mother always singing this song.
Pap and Paul are beautiful together, I love listening to them. I love that Pap passed the talent to Paul and the girls, so it goes on!
I always enjoy Pap’s singing. Such a sweet, sweet soul. I don’t think I remember hearing that song but after I listened to it I had to click on it and play it again. Paul does a wonderful job picking. When I clicked on it the second time it took me to utube where I listened to the Wilson Brothers sing Waiting at the Altar. I had heard that one before but it was good to hear it again. Thanks for the good music.
I got an unexpected email from a cousin late one recent night. She said she had cassette tapes of my Mom and Dad singing that she would send me. They are in the mail as I write. I don’t think our kids ever heard them sing unless it was at their house.
I’m glad you all have those ‘precious memories’.
A beautiful beginning for this Sunday!
