Dollywood.

Today, I did the Dollywood thing with Ashley and her fam.  I have actually been looking forward to this.  We made a full day of it…rode a lot of rides, saw some shows including the Kingdom Heirs.  I have to be honest, being close to the Gold City guys allows me to be around them a lot and hear them sing very often.  I think this has spoiled me considerably when it comes to hearing other quartets sing because as we exited the Kingdom Heirs show I was like, “Ehh.”  In the words of Randy Jackson, “It was just OK for me.”  There were some highlights…they have a very good bass singer and I do like seeing a SG (that’s Southern Gospel for the lay person) group with a band…mainly a drummer.  But, other than that…just OK.

I did, however, enjoy going into the Southen Gospel Music Hall of Fame for the first time ever.  There is a lot of cool stuff in there and there is actually a brick out front in honor of my dad’s old group, The Singing Emmanuels.  I took a photo on my phone so I am not sure if I can get it on here…but I’ll try.  It was kinda neat to see that and feel somewhat a part of it.

There were some cool coasters and the food was great.  Hey, it’s Dollywood.  Good day.

 

I have given in…

I am officially a part of the online blogging world.  I discovered this when the band decided to get a blog and then soon found that many people I would like to keep up with also blog.  To me, this is better than myspace (which I don’t personally have) because its more about actual thoughts and not so much current status or photos from the weekend, etc.  So, I will be posting here often and most of which will be different than the posts I make on the band blog.  I hope many of my friends will catch on and become bloggers themselves so we can all live in happy blogging harmony!

Thanks for coming, please keep checking back and for goodness sake…start a blog!
