the here and the now


So Brooke and I went to a really amazingly awesome concert tonight here in Rock Hill. My friend Linh has a real passion for music and has a particular talent for bringing in great musical talent for shows. Tonight, in downtown Rock Hill, she put on "An Evening of Gospel, Pop, Soul and Jazz". First off, the Freedom Temple Ministries Praise Team performed. I got goosebumps. Their powerful and soulful music, praising God, was moving and beautiful. It was hard to not get up and start dancing in the isles. The Rock Hill High Gospel Choir performed too, and they were great. Really really talented young people.

I just said "young people." Wow. I must be getting old. Look out...I might start telling stories about when I was a little kid I used to have to walk to school, 3 miles in the snow, with only my stirrup pants, hiking boots and fanny pack to keep me warm.

Back to my story about the concert. The main act tonight was a duo from Nashville called Sam & Ruby. I LOVE them. They are pretty much amazing and I think you should give them a listen and see if you agree. www.myspace.com/samandruby They have a song on the soundtrack to The Secret Life of Bees (It's out right now, but I haven't seen it yet. Ruby mentioned that Alicia Keyes was surprisingly a good actress. Somehow I find that difficult to believe, so I may have to see for myself.) I think these two have a very very bright future. Just thought you should know about them so that if you like them as much as I do, you can enjoy their music.

That is all for now.
