Higher Ground - Show on the April 2nd ;)
Hi Everyone:
If you were there, you were blown away!
If you were a guitar player, you were giggling like a school girl! (usually saying something to the effect, "watch that!" I had the privilege of jamming with Eddie Day for 10-15 minutes before the show and I have to say, it was a privilege to stand onstage with him.
Eddie and Mary Day performed at Higher Ground on Saturday night and they were absolutely great, ...no, awesome,....uh, no, ...OUTSTANDING -- wow....I am actually speechless! Eddie is a fantastic guitar player, their music was unique and exciting, and their spirit truly bore witness to the love, patience, and forgiveness of Christ.
The House band kicked off at around 7:15...our crowd was down significantly due to the snow (and, I think, the youth lock-in the previous night, ASL's awards banquet, and the Bristol race). No matter! We had a great time with everyone who came! Eddie and Mary took the stage and did two sets of mostly original Southern Rock/Blues/Country/Gospel that moved everyone in the place. They kicked off their set with "Second Chance" an original boogie tune that really cut loose. Eddie absolutely wailed on guitar - and once teh first song started, we KNEW the night was going to be special. The crowd's favorite song was a rendition of "Sweet Home Hosanna," a song to the tune fo Sweet Home Alabama - everyone loved it. In fact, it was requested (and Eddie & Mary graciously agreed to perform it) twice. Eddie's testimony and powerful witnessing really came through and reached those in attendance. He and Mary have a sweet spirit and a heart for people. We will definitely schedule them again for early summer! If you missed them this time around, you REALLY MISSED SOMETHING GREAT! Be sure to check them out on the web at http://www.eddieday.org.
Jeff Arwood and J.J. again harassed the crowd ;). Those two need to be corralled or something. Jeff provided the comic relief that was (and always is) hilarious. We played "the Numbers Game" and had several folks win some cool stuff - of course several others had to do something stupid in front of everyone....which is always funny!
Next show is on Saturday, April 16, 2005. The agenda includes "Garments of Praise," an intepretive dance team with an incredible praise vocalist, and stand-up comedy by Lisa Johnson of Crackpot Ministries in Bristol, TN. SHould be fun...put it on your calendar!
I will get photos of the 2nd up on the web site ASAP! Godspeed my brothers and sisters! BR
