Most of you know, my album is solidly in the christian genre of music. Nine times out of 10, I will sing primarily christian music but this opportunity was different in that I was asked to sing a good mix of music including country, pop, oldies, and patriotic in addition to christian. I had so much fun breaking out of my box and stretching myself physically, mentally, and vocally to watch how the Lord allowed this concert to succeed. We ended up singing for about 2.5 hours or so which was by far the longest I had ever sang at one event. I sang some Kelly Clarkson ("You Found Me", "Breakaway"), Carrie Underwood ("Temporary Home"), Pat Benetar ("Hit Me With Your Best Shot"), Sugarland ("Everyday America"), fun oldies ("Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "Walking on Sunshine"), "We Are the World" and also sang a set of patriotic music just to name a few dittys. I sang a few songs off the album but also got to sing several christian songs that I had not recorded that I just love! I can't believe my voice held out because a lot of those are some BIG songs but I give all credit to the Lord, He totally brought me through and I actually had comments that my voice sounded stronger near the end than it did at the beginning. That was totally the Lord!
The turn out was GREAT!
The weather was HOT!
The band was FANTASTIC!
The opportunity was INCREDIBLE!
The blessing was UNDESERVED but I am so grateful!
Thank you to all who came out and sang along, clapped, helped set up and tear down the sets and stage. Thank you to the wives of all the band members and your willingness to sacrifice your guys for a lot of rehearsal time! You and your families really gave up a lot and I realize that. Thank you!
Thank you for the businesses who promoted the concert and the promotion staff. Great people!
Thank You, Lord, for the opportunity to do what I love and providing more than I ever thought or imagined.
