I Can Not Thank You Enough!
I know you hear a lot of lip service about how good you are or other things that I'm sure after a long day can sound like empty flattery or crazy fry over dramatic platitudes.
I just hope you know that some of us Crazy fries really mean it you have changed people for the better. It's not just the quality of your music, it's the quality of the people.
These have been Fun and inspirational even an "old fart" like me feels like it's not too late to chase a dream. You give Hope to your audiences That matters a lot !
Thank you is so underwhelming a thing to say.
I hope you can have a sit down with Chance someday I'd love to hear that story. You Sir are a Genius at choosing the right people at the right time for Home Free and honestly every project you've done since Great Casting ! You have serious skills Chris !
Love and Hugs !!!
This is the perfect comment ❤️ you said everything I was feeling ❤️
Aww...thanks Dawn. Appreciate that. :)
Well sed Dawn, I culd not agree more with everything U hve sed rite there 🙂
@@ChrisRuppOfficial Simple Truth from a Simple old fart *chuckle* Seriously Chris, Nothing but admiration well that and a whole lot of Proud of you Boys. OH and wow that sister of yours ! That's a strong sensible lady send her some WI Fry Hugs Ok? Stay Safe Keep being You !
@@minneyruth Thanks Hun! 🥰🥰 *blushing*
Like so many others, I just want to say a huge thank you Chris for lettings us in on the wonderful, crazy memories of Home Free. I have never been a fan of country music but, as I've gotten older (maybe not wiser!) I have come to appriciate the craft, sounds and stories of country music. Home Free was my introduction and now I'm filling the house with HomeFree tunes every day! This series was so wonderful at showing how much perserverance, damn hard work mixed with the love of what you're doing, the love and support of friends and particularly laughter will pay off. Unfortunately today a lot of young people wants things now, they aren't willing to put the hard work and enthusiasm into reaching their goals. You have done amazingly and are a genuinely beautful soul. Music has always been important to me, especially the last decade. I lost my entire left leg almost 6 years ago and I thought my life had ended. All the things I loved to do, I can't anymore . But I put on my tunes and my soul lifts. Now my goals have changed. Instead of running or riding a bike, I'm going to learn indoor rock climbing and am learning AUSLAN (Australian Sign Language) to become an interpreter. The message you give is profound and everyone should watch your series as it shows, if you love something and are willing to do the hard yards, you can be amazing! So again, thank you for this, and for sharing your wonderful gift with the world. Peace and Love from Australia
I love Home Free and love these Home Free history videos! I’m relatively new to Home Free (about 3 years) and don’t know if I’ll ever get to a live show, but no one could be a bigger fan than me! I listen to your music for at least a few hours every single day! Thanks for being such a special part of my life!
Homefree is my favorite Accapella group. Thank you Chris for forming this AMAZING GROUP.
I am so glad to be sharing this smidgeon of time and space on this earth with You, Home Free, and Cypress Fyre, etc. I am the beneficiary of your talents, great music, and some fun along the way. Much gratitude from this new Home Fry and Fyre Fly who is now counting the bacons. Cheers!
Yes please keep going and don't stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Kristina. How are you doing?
I really enjoyed the whole series, but I have to say I enjoyed this one a teensy bit more because I didn’t discover Home Free until y’all were on the Sing Off. After that first episode I was surfing RUclips and the web to see what I could find out. Knowing that a couple of you (not you, Chris) didn’t want to be a Country A Capella group at first, makes me appreciate y’all even more. I was only familiar with Country music artists through the decades unless they crossed over to the Pop charts. Thank you, Chris for creating and filming this series, and mostly for starting Home Free. I only was able to see 2 shows while you were with the group, but I’m still a fan, and also a fan of yours, since I’ve followed you since you left the group. I’d love to see you possible do a collaboration at least once more in honor of the 20th year. That would be sweet!
Hello Beth. How are you doing?
Thank you for making these 7 episodes - many of us won't be around to see 40 years of Home Free - please consider doing a livestream at 25 years - maybe have a party and bring everyone (all of the members over time) together and record the party - just watching you all hanging out together and sharing memories would be awesome for us fanatical fries. Great job!
Hello Mary. How are you doing?
Y’all can’t ever stop. You’ve no idea the many times listening to you boys has saved my life.
The Butts Medley is a song almost every Home Free reactor has seen. Angels We Have Heard on High is one of my favorite Christmas songs from you guys.
I have really enjoyed this series! I'm so glad that you still get together with the guys for work and for play. 🙂Will @HomeFree take over the series and catch up the rest of the history since your departure?
Hello Kristin. How are you doing?
Such a fantastic series.
Thanks so very much for this Chris.
It's clear that road to Home Free success is built on the love you all have for each other first and foremost, your love for music and then your determination drove it home.
❤️🥰❤️
Dawn Ours said everything I was feeling so I'm just gonna say Thank you for this and HF ❤️
Hello Ruth. How are you doing?
Tim you are hilareous. Love love love your sense of humor.
Hello Diane. How are you doing?
Thanks Chris for doing this whole series of Home Free's history. I loved everything about it & will watch it many times again. Enjoyed all the stories, humor & humility from everyone. So glad you never gave up & that all you guys found each other.
Thank you for sticking with it all those years ago. I’m so glad I found you guys. I have 8 years of Amazing Memories and hope for many, many more.
❤❤❤❤❤
Hello Janice. How are you doing?
Now I have to binge episode 1-6❤
Hello Janet. How are you doing?
I live in AZ, so I looked up “the Meet Rack” and it Google pulled up a restaurant/bar in Tucson, that closed during the pandemic. If you were planning on visiting it when you come to Tucson for the show in February, you can’t, because it’s closed.
It's fun and intersting to hear about yours different memories from your shows, places etc. 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Thank you guys for making these videos and allowing us fans to see your lives and growth of home free. If you have time I would love to see a video talking about your collaborations with other famous people. I think that would be super interesting to hear your impressions of those you've worked with like Kenny Rogers, Oak ridge boys, ECT. Thank you so so much for what you do. We love you.
No stop signs, just detours to the goal. You can't get there because of xyz, no problem, choose route abc, just keep moving! I love it!
Thank you, Chris! This has been a wonderful series. We all really appreciate the time and effort you and the rest of the guys have put in to make Home Free amazing.
Hello Laura. How are you doing?
I just read The Meet Rack shut down due to COVID 😢
Love this series - thanks for the perseverance, the music, the laughter & the stories.
Thank you Chris! This series has been wonderful!
Hello Anne. How are you doing?
Chris, this was inspired. I am so glad you are getting to do "Whatever the hell you want" that is the dream of most of us I believe. We are just fortunate that what you guys want to do gives us so much enjoyment! Thank you. These BTS stories and commentaries on collaborations and songs make for great videos too. Keep em coming fellas.
Hello Mary. How are you doing?
I call you guys "My Home Free Boys", as many women do that may or may not be old enough to actually be your moms. We are SOOO thrilled with all your personal as well as professional successes!
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
I've enjoyed every single one of these episodes! Thank you guys for sharing your incredible talent, your "brotherhood" & your goofiness with us! THOSE are the reasons you're unique & set you apart from & above all the other groups! Please never forget WHO blessed you with your beautiful voices! God bless you ALL & keep you safe!🙏 💖, 🤗& 🥰from SE Tennessee!😊
No way I will be able to catch it in 40 yrs, but I love the thought of that happening even without me!
Hello Diane. How are you doing?
Thank you Chris for sharing the back stories of Home Free.
Hello Mary. How are you doing?
This series has been so much fun and even more interesting to learn all about Home Free and its illustrious history! Thank you to all the guys who participated in the series and thank you for sharing your trials, successes, and hilarious stories! Most of all, thank you for never giving up! Home Free has made my life all the better, just because, simply put, you guys totally rock!!
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Thanks for putting together this series, I've learned so much about Home Free, not just the group but about you guys as individuals. The amount of work everyone put in to make Home Free a success is amazing, and very much appreciated! One thing that I keep hearing in some people's reaction videos, is that they would love to just hang out with the guys in HF, and I absolutely agree. You all seem like nice, down to earth, relatable people, and to me that just adds another level of awesomeness.
I look forward to the "no holds barred" episode 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you guys got doing this. I started listening to you guys through the pandemic and helped get me through so much with a smile. Hope to get to see you live one day. Love to share laughs with yall.
Hello Tina. How are you doing?
Ah.. another wonderful way to start the day❣🍵and💝💞from all of you!
Hello dear. How are you doing?
I loved, loved, loved watching you go down memory lane in this series, guys! It was fun to hear about the great (and the few not so great) times you had on the road, Home Free's origins, and to be able to laugh along with you. Thank you for putting this on You Tube, Chris. See you in 20 years! 🙂👍
Hello Cheryl. How are you doing?

I really enjoy these episodes & hearing all about the history of Home Free! Thanks for sharing these moments with us Chris! 💕
Chris is like the energizer bunny, keeps going!
Hello Belinda. How are you doing?
Thank you for the healing and joy your music has brought my soul. As a new Home Fry last year, some favorite crew moments from watching older BTS videos, was realizing why I recognized voices of the crew. You had introduced me to them in your Infant Holy, Infant Lowly, video (The Hound + the Fox). 😁. There are videos I have sobbed from laughing like my favorite improv Colder Weather Memory Lapse. 🤣
Thanks Chris for putting this together. These episodes have been so much fun! 🖤
Hello Denise. How are you doing?
I loved watching all of these videos about the amazing Home Free. I'm so looking forward to your next one. You all rock!
Hello Sharon. How are you doing?
Inspirational people doing inspirational things. Thanks for the history lesson. It was just as cool as I expected it to be.
Hello Linda. How are you doing?
Barnacles :D :D :D !!! and Angle Fish :D!
I love you guys! Thanks for staying with it, so I could enjoy your efforts.
Hello Jill. How are you doing?
I loved this! I would love to hear Chris tell the history from the beginning and hear the different stages thru the years! I get to see you in 4 days!!
Hello Carol. How are you doing?
I always wondered who arranges the songs. Bravo for whoever does it. Your arrangements are the best.
Thank you for sharing this incredible history and journey with us. I have always liked walks down memory lane like that. It's so fun to see where you all started and to where you have come to now. Love you all.
Hello Cadie. How are you doing?
Obrigada Chris, por essa série fantástica!!
E obrigada por ser um dos responsáveis e idealizadores de um grupo de acapella tão maravilhoso como o Home Free!!
Excelente trabalho, cara!!
Adoraria ver o Chance nessa roda de conversa também!!
Amo vocês!!
👏👏❤❤
Hello Vera. How are you doing?
Oh no I’m going to a show in Kearney Nebraska this December. I hope we have some good stories from that night. I can not wait.
Thank you! I prepared for my first Home Free in person show recently by binge watching this series. I hope to hear the story behind my favorite comedy video ever Full of Cheer sometime. 😂 Tim giving Adam dog food and Colder Weather memory lapse are my favorite improv moments of all time! 😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing your memories and experiences. It's been great fun to follow along.
Hello Mandy. How are you doing?
I have truly enjoyed all 7 episodes they were all so much fun and informative love everything about Home Free keep up the good work fellows ❤
Hello Toni. How are you doing?
Thanks so much for doing this! I have thoroughly enjoyed every episode. I saw the alert for this one while I was at work and had to put every bit of self-control to the test to not watch until I got home!
Hello Carol. How are you doing?
I have really enjoyed this History series! Thank you!
Hello Sandy. How are you doing?
Thank you so much Chris. Amazing all the tough, fun and crazy things you guys all did together. Hearing all of the story's brings a smile. I have gone back to watch over again. Now I have a 7th one. Appreciate you doing this. Thanks.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
I loved watching you at Starlight Theater in Kansas City!!!
How can one say thank you enough for doing this and sharing those memories of those times words are inadequate to the task. Too bad this series is ending.
I have so enjoyed this series. All of you guys are so much fun. And you have such wonderful memories of your times together. Thanks for sharing some of them with us.
You guys are so fun together. 💓 I'm a really big fan from Brazil 🇧🇷, and i always think about how amazing seeing you performing by person would be, but maybe one day. It's incredible how i was paying attention to this conversation like i was sitting right next to you (being part of it) 😂 hahahahs Love you guys! Keep going
Chris these episodes have been great! I totally agree with your talent and your arranging is brilliant. I am so glad you never quit. I do have a question lol. Is there a reason you are drinking from a creamer? 😂 Please continue these episodes. Love the stories and I really love your reactions to the videos. You do have the touch for picking the right people, then and now! P. S. how about our 2nd guilty pleasures. Or B cut guilty pleasures and you join them for it? Just a thought 🤔
Hello Susan. How are you doing?
I enjoy listening to your history plus your grour
Tim has the most gorgous speaking voice
Thank you so much for put this together 👏🏻🇧🇷
Hello Juliana. How are you doing?
@@DavidSmith-dr1rc Hi ! I am good ! Where are you from ?
@@julianamelloholtzguebert3361 Good to hear from you Juliana. I’m from Dallas Texas it’s my pleasure to meet you here.
@@julianamelloholtzguebert3361 My sincere motive was to get to know you more better i believe asking questions about each other will enable us get to know ourselves more better
A hand of friendship for a start will be nice
I was thinking of asking you about Home Home Free and how it began, and today, I found all this episode. I started watching them around 10.00 pm, and it was 7.00 am, and I am glad I did. I have watched your performance on the show SING OFF so many times. These are the best 5 people for Home Free, you all complement each other supper, and your songs personality blends. I am sorry that Austin and you (Cris) have gone to do the project. Your new guy is good, but no offense, I prefer the Austin and you (Cris) are better. I wish you the best in the future.
Thanks Julie, I appreciate that!
Another great episode Chris. Can you continue these interviews? It is great learning of the group history.
What have you got planned in your future? Christmas music?
Thank you so much!
I'm looking into doing other interviews with other artists! For myself though, my next big project is an original album with my new trio group Cypress Fyre!
@@ChrisRuppOfficial Yea!
Love these
Thank you Chris. Enjoyed all the stories.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Thanks Chris, this was fun to see
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
It's fun to hear the stories and know you all get along. Could you all do an arrangement of When the Mists Have Rolled Away? Haunting like the mists over a river in the morning growing into a powerful declaration as the mists are rolled away.
Just keep going (Tim on a Ventilator, Austin goes bald and puts on a wig, Rob's beard is straight white and when they do Christmas albums the kids all call him Santa, Adam is taken one night by the Area 51 folks to talk to aliens and they say he's too weird for them, Chance creates a Home Free game and becomes a trillionaire).
Ah bummed the series ended. Enjoyed seeing my first HF concert back in December and would like to thank Tim for making this former bass sound like a soprano. I think one of my favorite HF stories was Tim telling about a certain group of "misguided idiots" who picketed a concert. ".... but I'd kiss a dude to piss them off." It'd be awesome if you could somehow get all the former HF members to do a song together with the current ones.
Just wondering about Adam Chance in Home Free history segments? I don't think he was in any of the segments.
Hello Sandy. How are you doing?
I have saved footage of your last Home Free concert (non-patreon) because it’s great music, hilarious banter & there’s that one emotional part.
Maybe a video on what you are working on or with that we don’t see on RUclips ?🎉
#SunsOutGunsOut
#FollowYourDreams
I have to ask, do you have points you want to cover or do you just go and see what happens? You hit a Home Free run.
I found the Big Time RV show ... season 3, episdode 5 ... available on Discovery+ and a few others. Watching it now! And ... did your really buy that RV? Did you get a discount for being on the show? Just curious!
Oh wow, thanks for the heads up! Nah, it was all "made-up" for the show. :)
Tshirt suggestion … Homefree - Stop signs are for wimps… keep on trucking !
Any chance (no pun intended) you'll have an episode talking with Adam Chance?
I can say i love HF....your music I call healing harmony and you UpCovers....covers that are better than Original
been thinking why wait 20 years.. how about series off people Home Free has done songs with ;)
Chris, Are you really going to say EP 7 final episode? WTH!!! You didn't even talk about you leaving the band and Adam Chance taking your place!!! You gotta do one more with Adam Chance!!!! Then "See you in 20 years".... PLEASE!!!!!!!
The history was mostly just up to the Sing Off - it's up to the guys if they want to do more!
I want to hear the Tim and Rob stories....... Just saying. Too many teases.
Hello Brenda. How are you doing?
