We are back

Well, Chicago was a fun trip. We feel like we accomplished what we were supposed to. We went to the America's Got Talent auditions there and had a great time. We arrived at McCormick Place at 7am to get in line. Turns out that we were not the first to arrive. In fact, people had lined up the night before and stayed the night in below freezing conditions. A cold front had settled in and dumped 2 feet of snow on the Michigan side of the lake, but just brought cold temperatures to Chi town. We waited several hours outside finally making it into the photo free zone. We then staged in a large room and waited for 2 more hours to be called to audition. While in that room we were able to break out our guitars and play to those around us. We took advantage of that opportunity. I am sure people were being effected as we had several people approach us and say they were pulling for us. Either way, God knew who would hear what and when. Our audition was brief as expected. We are hopeful, but realize that the odds are against us. There were probably about 3000 people there to audition. We will be notified in the spring as to weather or not we advanced.

Now we are gearing up for a new opportunity. We are traveling to Nashville in February to the Band With A Mission contest where we will be singing 3 songs before a panel of music industry people and record company executives. We have 2 other events lining up while we are there. We hope to bring our unique delivery of the gospel to music city. The BWAM event has launched the careers of such bands as Rush of Fools and Sidewalk Prophets. After meeting some of those guys, I wold feel honored to be in their company. Wish us luck!
