11/16/09: Show Last Night!
Hey y'all, just wanted to fill you in as to how the show went last night. It was in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia at the Rodeo Lounge. The event was to raise money for Leukemia patients and their families, and it turned out to be an awesome evening. Derek Cain, whom Barry and I got to know before the show had told us about his story and what he had gone through being a Leukemia survivor himself and he truly became an inspiration to me hearing how positive he was about life. Derek had met us at the hotel early yesterday morning and we all went over to FX 101.9 where I played "What It Takes" live on the air. After leaving the radio station, Derek invited us over to his place for breakfast, and his wife June cooked up a very tasty breakfast for us all. Being that I didn't get much sleep the night prior, I went back to the hotel after that and slept for about 2 1/2 hours before having to go to soundcheck at 3pm. We did soundcheck and Carla the club owner was nice enough to feed the band and I a great meal. (Does it seem like all we do is eat? LOL) The show last night started at 10:30 pm and I did a 90 minute set. I tell you, the audience last night was incredible. I've done a lot of shows in my time to small crowds and big crowds and there are certain ones that stand out in my mind for being the loudest crowds and this I would definitely have to put near the top of the list for loud. There were times while I was singing, when I couldn't even hear myself over the audience. I swear they knew every word to pretty much every song. I was certainly blown away by that, and it helped to make a great evening for us. In closing I just wanted to say it was a real honor to help out the cause last night and thank you to Derek, Carla, Russ and Nikki from FX 101.9 for the support, I'll never forget it. Now Barry and I are sitting here in the Halifax airport and we have some time to kill before our flight. Our final destination is Cleveland, I'm going to sing at a church there tomorrow morning and then again later that night and we'll follow that up by the showing my new movie WWJD. I'm curious to see how it goes, I hope the people dig the movie, It has a very positive message that can touch people in several different ways. Anyhow, I'm gonna sign off now, but I hope y'all have a great day, and God Bless!

11/4/09: What I Did For Halloween
Hi guys!
Just stopping in to say hi. I spent the weekend in Indiana with family- it’s a great place to be at Halloween because the leaves are turning colors now and falling down like snow. It’s beautiful driving down the country roads. Didn't get to experience the whole trick or treating thing this year, but made up for it by visiting Bonds Chapel gravesite. You're probably thinking, “Wow, what's exciting about that?” But here’s the deal- anyone that lives in that area knows about some of the haunting stories that come out of that graveyard, and it was an experience to do it on Halloween. I don't have any real freaky stories to share with y'all, but it was still kinda chilling to go there. Have any of you seen the new Step Father movie yet? I went and saw that in Indiana as well and it was pretty good. I recommend it to anyone that's up for a bit of thriller. I don't want to forget to mention I had a very enjoyable visit to NDHS High School. It wasn't planned at all- just a last-minute decision. I went and entertained pretty much half the school, I'd say. The minute I started singing “Crazy Days,” people started piling in. When I got to “What It Takes,” there were quite a few students gathered around singing and mouthing along. That kinda spur of the moment stuff is neat to do and from what I heard, it made the students’ day, which, in turn, made my day. Now I'm back in Nashville and getting to enjoy the sunny weather for a bit. The days are getting shorter and shorter now and colder the later it gets, but I'm used to the cold for the most part…or am I? Hahah. I've been here for awhile now and I believe my blood has thinned out a lot, so I don't think I'm as used to the cold as I used to be. lol Anyways, I hope y'all have a great rest of the evening and I'll talk to you later. God Bless!
