WOWWWW! We had a great time last night! This is our third year in a row and, once again, we had a full house. Tom Keener does a GREAT JOB at getting the word out and the attendance is a great tribute to Mom, Dad and their legacy. I love doing the question and answer session with Don “Jug” Reynolds. The musical part of the program was superb, Kristyn Harris just gets better and better (you’ve got to hear her)! This was our intro to Shoot Low Sheriff and we really enjoyed their Texas Swing sound.

WOWWW!!! Belinda Gail has a new CD out and it is fabulous! I think her voice is purer and stronger than ever. Every cut is a gem but I, of course, have favorites. Shenandoah has been a favorite of mine since I was a little girl. I used to beg Dad to sing it as we rode in the car. Belinda’s voice is just perfect for this classic melody. I have always thought that “Until Then” was one of the most beautiful melodies that Stuart Hamblen wrote (and he wrote lots of beautiful songs). I had a really hard time picking a favorite on this CD BUT Larry (my husband) and I tear up every time we hear her sing “He Sang For Me.” Joyce Woodson wrote a beautiful song based on a letter she received from someone who had polio as a child. Our good friend Patrick Curtis was a little boy, with polio, in Children’s Hospital in L.A. when he had the same experience as the letter writer. Belinda’s arrangement is wonderful and I dare you to listen and not be touched by the beauty of the song and of Belinda’s voice.

Go to Belinda’s website to find out how you can purchase this remarkable CD. I guess the name of the album would help, it’s “Granite Mountain” by Belinda Gail.
