Some of you like Southern Gospel, some of you don't. BUT, like it or not, it's a genre to which AHQ is often linked, and rightfully so. Our roots are planted solidly in that style, and though we do different stuff, it's still an important part of our repertoire.

That being said, we've been invited to a huge Southern Gospel concert in North Carolina. We've gotten acquainted with some of the Inspirations Quartet and they have officially invited us to Singing in the Smokies on July 4, 2004. They get some of the biggest names in the industry to come to this concert, and the size of this concert will be completely uncharted territory for us. I can hardly imagine what I'll be feeling like when it's five minutes until we walk out on stage. Oh yeah, it's not really a done deal quite yet, I don't think we've officially given them our word, but it's looking very promising.

Perhaps embarrassment is directly related to how secure a person is. So if a person is very insecure, they get flustered and embarrassed easily. And if you are a secure person, you have a healthy sense of yourself and that if you do something really stupid, you're not really humiliated because you know that what you do doesn't ultimately affect your worth. But that seems a little too simple. There are plenty of insecure people who cover up their insecurities like an undercover agent. Oh, I think I'm definitely oversimplifying this.

Ok, so another writing idiosyncrasy of mine that I have identified is that I love to begin paragraphs with "Ok, so..." It just feels so conversational and casual. I love doing it.
