Gaithers Concert

Well, we'd never been to a Gaither's Concert before, so it was pretty exciting. Of course we'd seen them on TV, but now we were actually part of the audience. Yipee! Rexall Place is pretty big, confusing if you're not a regular!

Our tickets said Sec.118, row 14 seats 16 & 17... hmm. where's that.. ooh here it says 118... down the steps we go to row 14. oops wrong side, should go to the other side of the section. ok.. here we are got all that food from the concession, try to balance two fries, two hot chocolates, hamburger, a large pretzel and a bottle of water... crazy, hey did we really need all that? $25 worth, wow! Anyway made it around and excuse me, excuse me, over three ladies who were already comfortable in their seats.. here we are trying to get seated, holding all this stuff and trying to lower the seats... had to have help, oh there were volunteers around us, one wanted to hold the hot chocolate, smell it I presume, well maybe they wanted to taste, who knows. Very entertaining I'm sure, and the show hasn't even started yet! ok you got the picture, we ate the food before the two vacant seats on our right were requested and we would all have to get up again.

Well the show got started and we were entertained as each of the performers came out and did several songs. The lighting effects were bright and colorful. Bill Gaither and Mark Lowry gave us some good laughs as did others. The piano player, Gordon Mote was fabulous. He is the best. He won the award as the best pianist in country music! And he's blind! Obviously not a handicap. Of course, he's played the piano since he was three years old.

We also enjoyed Jeff & Sherry Easter and their children. And then there was also Janet Pascal, Jesse Dixon, Signature Sound and the Gaither Vocal Band.

A most enjoyable evening and we got to let our little lights shine!
