The McKameys have always been one of my favorite groups. Their heart and genuine care for the music and people they sing to can be seen in every concert. Though I always hoped I wouldn’t see the day they would leave the road, I’m glad that they are following the Lord’s leading in their lives…
If you were going to tack on a theme to the first two nights of the Memorial Day sing at Indian Creek, it could easily be this – live music. Thursday night, we enjoyed the Primitive Quartet and Jeff & Sheri Easter who both have live bands. Friday night, we heard more groups with great…
When I turn the calendar over to the month of March, there is one thing I always look forward to…and it’s not the erratic Missouri weather! It’s the Truthseekers Homecoming in Marion, Illinois! This three day event in Southern Illinois has been a favorite of mine for six years now. Whether Mother Nature sends us…
The McKameys’ music has always been a blessing to me. The music itself is soothing. It is the kind that will inspire you. It’s the kind that reminds you of the goodness of God. When I select a McKameys CD on my iPod, I know that I’ll hear a variety of acoustic instruments like the…

This is the second year Duane brought in The McKameys from Clinton, Tennessee in addition to the group that always appears at this concert, Mountain Grove’s…
Friday was a full day at “The Cave.” In the afternoon Karen Peck and New River had a matinee in a cave adjacent to the main cavern, this low ceiling place of entertainment has been nicknamed the “Little Cave” and we had a wonderful afternoon there with KPNR! In the evening, we gathered back in…
The leaves have begun their descent from the trees, the colorful hues faded to earthy brown and their vibrant texture shriveled up as they crush under our feet. Fall is here. One of my favorite times of the year too! It signals the end of one season and the beginning of another…which reminds me,…
The second night at Beacon Park was one that will be remembered in the books for years to come. Yes, that has something to do with the title of this review, just hang in there and you’ll have a good laugh. I promise! This concert was on a Friday night and we made it there…
