Hope and Freedom Tour

"Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body."
-Oliver Wendell HolmesUS author & physician (1809 - 1894)

"I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music."
-George Eliot



Today we were visited by some country music stars. Take a look.

Here I am with Darryl Worley

and Keni Thomas.

Their plane was supposed to get in a lot earlier and because we have been having a lot of bad weather lately they did not end up coming in until 11:00pm. The plane flight here is ridiculously long and the last thing that you want to do when you get here is take a bunch of pictures and sign autographs. They were real troopers. They all had great attitudes and seemed genuinely happy to be here.

While we were waiting around for them to come it was kind of fun because different people were doing karaoke and some folks were country dancing. It is always so strange and surreal to see seemly normal things like line dancing and then you look down at their leg and see a 9mm in the leg holster or an M16 on their back. It is a strange contrast seeing normal activities that are taking place in a very strange place.

Take care, it's bed time.
