Ah, yes. I know you’re just dying to know what the title of this post is referring to…but alas, you’ll have to read the review to find out! (I know, I’m mean. LOL) It was the second night of the Great Lake of the Ozarks Gospel Sing and if you haven’t already guessed, The Lesters…
A shrill wail howled outside the hotel window. Peeking between the curtains, I noticed a darkening sky. Then the announcement blared over the loudspeakers, “Seek shelter immediately.” I would’ve called the front desk, but when I checked in the guy behind the counter informed me that the hotel was changing phone systems, so the phones…
Have you ever noticed how photos portray writers? Nine chances out of ten the photo had him (or her!) seated on a nice cushy chair, pen in hand, expensive looking leather bound notebook sitting on their lap with a gaze directed out a window lost in thought. Oh, and don’t forget a coffee mug on…

“We cut a record!” Michael Booth exclaimed, holding up a CD with enthusiasm at the end of one of the most anticipated concerts this year.
