Yesterday was the end of a perfect weekend.  I had to work but the event Scott sent me too was amazing.  It was the last day of the Pick’n by the Pond Festival in Cargill and the whole event was a great success.  I arrived at the event a couple hours early so I could have breakfast with everyone and meet some new people!  Seven bucks for all you can eat!  Not too bad!  There were a lot of people that were leaving already but many stayed for the Open Mic Worship Jam Session.  I met with Dennis “Fingers” Madge the organiser and found out that the event was up 30%  in attendance this year!  It was a great interview.  I only wish I had my H2 on me for the recording!  I won’t make that mistake again!  It’s time to be prepared.  Speaking of being prepared.  At the end of the interview I asked if I could introduce myself and give away a few prizes!  There’s was no hesitation!  Hahahaha, here is the point of my story.  As I stood in the wings one of the performers asked if I was going to sing a few songs with them?  Oh boy!! I said sure if he had the lyrics  At least there were only about a hundred people left in the audience! We found 2 songs I knew!  Amazing Grace and A Closer Walk With Thee!  I have to say it was a little nerve racking but Jim Beech made me feel so comfortable after.  He said to the crowd that I deserved a bigger hand because of the challenge I took to get up there and he said to everyone that there’s definite potential for my singing!!  I think that was the greatest moment of this summer!  It will be tough to top that one, but I’ll try!!  Until next time enjoy every moment.
