Off We Go

One trip down, many more to go. I have to say Florida was a lot of fun. The weather is beautiful there and so are the people. It takes about 14 hours for us to drive from Nashville to Tampa and, fortunately, there are plenty of drivers in the group. As of right now, we travel with 6 people (the 5 of us and our sound man extrordinare, Darren "D-money" Whorton) so we get around well. After taking a couple of wrong turns, we finally made our way to the Northwest Church of Christ where we sang for an energetic 500+ crowd comprised of mainly youth groups and sponsors. We then drove to Englewood, FL where we were loved on by Garry and Joy Clark and the members of the Fellowship Church there. We had a fun battery experience at the first of the 2 church services we sang for. We got the wrong batteries for our mics and in-ear monitors (or "ears" as we call them) and did the "I-need-a-new-battery-but-it's-the-middle-of-a-song" dance. God intervened and got us through that concert without too much embarrassment. We got better batteries for the next service and had a great time with the people there. After eating at "The Fishery," we drove across the Everglades to Boca Raton for our third concert of the day. We got the pleasure of hearing the Brazilian Gospel Union before we sang. BGU was very good and we wish them the best as they strive to raise funds for their upcoming album.
Speaking of albums, we've been finishing our upcoming album since we got back from Florida. I think I can describe it in one word...WOW!!! The new album is incredible. The songs get back to the older Acappella sound with our own little twist here and there. Keith Lancaster has written all but one song for the album (which his son, Anthony, wrote). Some of the songs sound like they should have been on earlier albums but they fit very well together to create a new energetic vibe that has quickly become the Acappella trademark in our live concerts. I have some pictures but I'm having trouble getting them downloaded from my computer. I'll try to get them on soon. Have a great weekend and may God bless you all!
