"Grandma asked me if I'd write her a song one day like I did for my grandma in West Virginia after she passed. The day she was in the hospital for a procedure that took her from this life, I sat down and wrote her song, "Whispering My Name," which will be on this Country Music Album, "Coal Miner's Grace."
