The writer and writing coach Carrie Jones expressed gratitude for the song on Facebook and added: What he didn't know is that it's the anniversary of my very wonderful bonus dad's death, which was a huge and pivotal moment in my life in many many ways when I was a kid. He was, indeed, a "good soul taken far too soon."

There is something very beautiful in this song and in souls like Andrew's (and so many others), souls who seek to create, to advise, to inform, and to do so with the goal of building up communities and the people in them.

Just a wonderful package, your singing the original song with all of the meaning attached and links to other performances, Doc Watson etc. I feel the meaning of your lyrics very personally and deeply. Thanks for all of it. Larry Libby

Great love Andy! There are countless souls that we'd call saints that passed to soon. Never forgotten for their sacrifices to make life better for others. May we all do the same.

Renee Hobbs, a friend through her work on media literacy, posted this reaction to Good Souls on YouTube: "What a delight to listen to this great song- -- and what a chord you have struck in my heart. It has been 9 years since my son Roger died-- and what a good soul he was, a gentle man with a creative spirit as wide as the sea. I love how you invite us to consider the legacy we have to continue their work. Thank you for sharing your creativity with me -- you are an inspiration #yourock"
