Have you ever heard this before.... "That's when music was real music!!"
Tell you what I went to two concerts that were kind of unusual for the artists but they were awesome...
Harry Connick Jr. and his Funk Band
Phil Collins and his big band
You are completely right. A couple of years ago I got to see some cool acts at a local bar. It was a few hours after the Peavine Awards had concluded at the Delta State performing arts center. Me and deltaguitar sat over in a booth away from everybody and watched Little Melton, Ike Turner, and many more blues greats walk by our table on there way to the stage to perform. Even Morgan Freeman popped in to say hello. Sometimes I forget all the talent and heritage that has come out of the MS delta.
Back in Nov of last year I had the honor of meeting Jonny and talking with him for about an hour after a concert in Knoxville. He goes to church with my Pastor's brother out in CA. The concert rocked and then after the show he cancelled all of his speaking arrangements with media to speak with myself and my pastor about what God was doing in his life. I've followed him from the mid nineties. In 2000 I saw him in concert in Jackson MS. He was great. That night I had a dream about him. I was in my church playing his music over the pa system. I woke up thinking wow, one day he is going to rock the world with his music about Jesus Christ. The day his cd came out last OCT, I sat down in my soundbooth in my church and listened to the entire cd over the house system. I almost cried thinking about the night I had that dream.
I have not heard any of his music, but I am sure he is good. I am from Knoxville funny you would mention that. Famous people are hungry for God too.
