NEW VIDEO SUITE

Well, it's finally here. The new furniture arrived and was installed yesterday! Wow...everything turned out so great! Thanks to Rack & Roll Woodworks for doing such a great job. Now it's up to us to fill the racks and make it all work. (I think I can already feel a headache coming on). Anyway, I am looking forward to moving over the next couple of weeks.

ACAFEST 2007

It was my honor to be invited to ACAFEST this year in Nashville, TN. Thursday I co-taught a class on recording acappella music. Saturday morning I co-taught a class on mixing/mastering acappella music with Melissa Lancaster. Melissa is the daughter of Keith Lancaster, the founder of Acappella. Christy and I had a great time Saturday night attending the 25th anniversary concert that featured members from the group present and past. What a great time seeing some of the originals singing some of the music that I grew up on! Wayburn Dean and Rodney Britt are two of my all time favorite singers and it was great being able to see them again. Over the past few months I've also been able to get to know Keith on a more personal level. He is a great man with more talent than one person should have. Connecting with Keith has been possible through the friendship of a longtime friend, Matt Straughn. It has also been great re-connecting with Matt as well. Matt and I spent many years singing/recording Acappella's music. Ahhhhhhh the memories! Matt recently did a 5K run in Hendersonville, TN where he came in first place, and beat the second place runner by over 3 minutes (or about 1/2 mile lead.) He also ran the Boston Marathon this year. Way to go!

Service with a smile!

This past July 3rd we had our July 4th Volunteer Appreciation Cookout for all the media staff at FBC. We had over 90 people attend for a great night of fun, food and fireworks. It is amazing to me how many people serve each week with joyful hearts at FBC. We truly couldn't do what we do without you guys! Thanks again for being such a GREAT team!
