Due to vacations and other commitments, Gary and I were the only ones able to play and sing at the Atria Retirement Village. Guess we proved that a retired Fire Chief and a former police traffic officer can play guitar together and sing harmony pretty well.
We actually played to a pretty full house . . . a very sweet audience who were very glad we were there to sing for them, and who were sad to see us leave . . . including one little Baptist lady who was so impressed that a couple of Methodists would come sing to her and her friends.
We have a full month of performances in October, including our first full "public" concert/missions fund-raising event, tentatively scheduled for October 19th.
More info to come.
Ever forward . . . ><>

Isn't that funny - the Baptist lady. Many years ago there used to be such a rivalry between Baptists and Methodists. I think they always considered us halfway heathen, because we baptized babies. But I well remember it being something of a novelty when a Baptist and a Methodist could be good friends.
Nowadays, I think most Baptists, if they think about us at all, have written us off as apostate. For a lot of Methodists, they could be right...
Anyway, God bless you guitar guys for the great ministry you do in retirement homes and nursing homes. Truly a godly work.
