I met DA and Raven Tonight!

CC1 · #1 03-19-2008, 11:08 PM

Tonight Mr. & Mrs. Pianoman and myself were honored to break bread with Raven and his wife and with Daniel Alicia here in Nashville.

DA is not obnoxious at all in person! LOL!!! He was a very laid back quite spoken man. He did not insult any of us at any time during our fellowship!

Raven and his wife are a wonderful couple I was honored to meet for the first time also. As most of you know Pentecost is like family and any time you get a group of us together there are an amazing number of people we all know in common with each other either in person or by reputation.

Time passed all to quickly and we talked long past the time our plates were taken away by the waiter and our bill kindly paid by Raven. We owe him lunch or dinner the next time he and Mrs. Raven make it to Jackson. Which now means I owe Elder's Epley & Groce, Pianoman, and now Raven a meal! LOL!!

We resolved all issues within Oneness Pentecost at dinner tonight so all is well. There will be no more strife or division. Oh, and I have an ocean front piece of proptery in Arizona to sell you.

Sherri became ill and Darcie was tired so we were not blessed with their presence as we had hoped but had a great time in spite of their absence.

CC1,

I told you guys. I was so totally shocked when I meet Dan Alicea for the first time. He is humble, soft-skoken, and so handsome. Made me almost wish I was a little Hispanic girl.

Sure wish I had met the rest you broke bread with.

Blessigns, Rhoni

My husband & I are thinking of visiting the Nashville area in a couple of weeks and I was wondering if you could give me any tips on what to see and where to stay?

Just got into Jackson about 40 minutes ago from Nashville ... WHAT A PLEASANT EVENING!!! We ate at Amerigo's ... the food was good ... the fellowship PRICELESS.

Got to meet some the best people you'll ever meet.

Some observations:

CC1 is a gracious conversationalist who has great stories to share ... He has an impeccable recollection of events. His love for God was evident in his speech.

Raven and Mrs. Raven are just unbelievable ... they are the model couple ... Raven is a paternal figure whose demeanor commands respect and confidence. Sister Raven complements him perfectly and is very pretty and sweet.

Pianoman is laid back and just as gracious. He also exudes sincere kindheartedness.

Mrs. Pianowoman is lively, outspoken and very much in love w/ her Pianodude.

Thank you so much Raven and Mrs. Raven for dinner ... we owe you big time. They have been a blessing to my life in so many ways ...

Here are some pics ... Pianoman and Mrs Pianoman left before we took them:

Raven and CC1

Dan, Raven, and CC1

Us again!!!

Raven and Mrs. Raven

DA,

This is an excellent description of Raven and his wife. I wish I had been that articulate posting about them.

I couldn't stand it and had to call PM to say hi while everyone was together!

Seeing that Mrs. PM was there too - I hope I didn't get you in trouble calling.

I guess nobody answered this question yet. Visitors to Nashville usually will visit the Opryland Hotel with it's huge atriums, downtown Nashville at night, and music row during the day.

If you have the budget, stay at the Opryland Hotel! Otherwise, there are good places to stay all over the city. The safest part of the city in the southern part near Brentwood.

I've stayed there and it is great. Easy access to shopping and even a boat trip through the hotel.

I was too tired late last night to think hard enough to answer this.

In additoin to what you listed of course there is the Grand Ole Opry, Opry Mills Mall, The Country Music Hall of Fame, The Ryman auditorium, lots of good restaurants, the Parthanon, The Hermitage (home of President Andrew Jackson), various civil war sites and some historic homes. Also there are always a lot of entertainment events going on you could find onthe internet.

Being Hispanic myself, this sounds a bit "you know" and I expect DA could vouch that all girls are attracted to a handsome guy like him, too.

I am married to a blonde haired blue eyed man myself.
Most people of any persuasion are different in real life than online, nicer for sure.
