Country Music Convert?

This evening I went to a fundraiser concert for a program called Daystar ministries. It was held in Nashville at Chaffins Barn. I went there in the summer to see Smoke on the Mountain. It's a great venue with only 100 tables (three tiers) in a square. In the middle is the stage so the farthest seat from the stage is probably 25 feet. We were a little closer than that, I'd say maybe 15-20 feet from the entertainment. The program is called Evening in December. Yes, that is also a published Christmas song by Tricia Walker. She wrote the song specifically for this fundraiser concert. Okay, okay, I'll get to the good stuff...our emcee for the evening was none other than the super talented Harmonica master, Buddy Green! Okay, I didn't know him for his harmonica skills either - but, any of you who have heard any religious Christmas music will recognize the song "Mary Did You Know." He wrote the music for that song. He sings a mean Irish Bar song though and he can rock his harmonica! What? He's boring you say, can't I come up with some better talent than that to volunteer for this fun filled night of music? Okay, how about Sawyer Brown. They sang a couple songs one of the songs being Dirt Road or Dirt Driveway. Cool song. That's enough attitude, so Sawyer Brown isn't that huge anymore, just for your information, they produced Casting Crowns, the Christian group. If Sawyer Brown doesn't excite you then neither will Kim Hill, Ashley Cleveland, and Karen Staley, all of whom are very established in the Christian music scene. I do have to say, there was this song that was pretty cool and I have to admit I had heard it a couple times on the radio, it's called "As If." Anyone impressed yet...any country music fans out there...you know who I'm talking about then. If you didn't get it by that song, how about "Suds in the Bucket." Okay, got you hooked now don't I? Yes folks, we had a four song performance (remember 20 feet away, with maybe 500 people) by the one and only, Sara Evans!!!!!!!! She was a total cutie patootie. She also sang a couple Christmas songs. They all sing with only a guitar and/or keyboard, or accapella if they are brave enough. It was a really fun evening and now it feels a little more like Christmas.

BTW (by the way) the kids are good, not looking forward to finals but excited for the break coming not soon enough.
