Asbury 2015
Wilbur Wright: “If a young person wants to be successful, he should first find himself a good mother and father and live in Ohio.” When We All Get to Heaven John & I.. looked at notes…I’ve played this song first as Asbury 8 times. 9 is a nice round number. Written by 2 mothers. Swing Low.. Brock and I “I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.” ~Abraham Lincoln. John Parker…stole child. John solo “What a Friend”.. played it last year, but I love it. Based on a poem by man written to his mother. Just a Closer Walk… My Mom.. sense of humor. 3rd grade directions. Complained Dad.. didn’t tell her things. Suddenly by a car or a farm. “Gone to Israel.” I’ve often played Mom’s favorite song out here.. today, a new generation will play it. Over 100 artists have recorded it. Only recording of Elvis is a home recording…he said the song was too private for him to put on an album. Cool Hand Luke. Brock solo Now ineligible to win any more awards at Milliken…he’s just a junior and he’s won them all. “Bach gave us God’s words. Mozart gave us God’s laughter. Beethoven gave us God’s fire. God gave us music that we might pray without words.” Mozart: “It is great consolation for me to remember that the Lord, to whom I had drawn near in humble and child-like faith, has suffered and died for me, and that He will look on me in love and compassion.” Elisabeth solo Belmont University, Nashville… musician for our show this weekend at the Playhouse. I’m being nice to her to make up for the way I’m going to embarrass her at graduation in 2 weeks. I’ll Fly Away.. All of us.. accordion.. we tried this two years ago and John fouled it up. . . we’ll give him one more chance. One of the first performances…1941 in Jacksonville by the Selah Jubilee Singers.
