As I was driving into work the other day, the Mark Schultz song “Letters from War” was playing on the radio. I was thinking about the coming 4th of July holiday services being prepared for at the church and thought this would be a great song to be sung for the services. I decided to just visit his website and see if he would be close to me for a concert sometime soon. Many of his songs really seem to tell a story and have signficant meaning behind them. It kind of reminds me of the early, epic Carman songs when I was growing up.Read More →

I’ll be picking up 6 tickets tomorrow for this concert that’s being held as part of the Indiana State Fair. It’s on August 10th, so still a little ways off. I’ve been to a Smitty concert, although it’s been awhile, and I went to the Third Day “Live Wire” tour concert a couple of years ago. I’ve never been to a Jars of Clay concert. Anyone had an experience with them in concert? Let me know. I of course will provide a review and photos after the concert.Read More →
