Hostetler follows the 2026 ‘Midwinter Blues’ and ‘A Man in Black’ single releases with an end of summer offering reminiscent of “a 70’s style vintage Rolling Stones-like mid-tempo rocker.” The storytelling is simple, direct, and delivered with an emotional impact that has induced tears among early listeners. With a tip of the hat to the social media scrolling set he commented, “Melodic breakdowns are timed to carry even the casual streaming listener through the entire 3:25 minute song.” Hostetler foresees more single releases in the future until an upcoming album reaches completion.

Artist’s Comments:

“I Remember…” was the working title for this song. It sprang up from an inspired raucous slide guitar thing I stumbled on some months back. Nothing that original I guess, but it reminded me of a Keith Richards feel from long ago. At that time I was reading a book about the importance of remembering on many levels. Those memories stirred up and become the hallowed ground of this single.

Musically speaking, it is a virtual patchwork quilt of memories from over 60 years that include the privilege to write, play, and perform everything from blues to folk to rock and beyond. The more I thought about the song as I went along, the more I decided that in numerous ways I was“walking on hallowed ground.”
