I'm exhausted after the concert tonight. But it went well. We had a few issues, and my voice was so whatever that I couldn't hit even an E-flat below middle C without sort of croaking, but hey, I could sing high (usually) and that's what counts when you're a tenor!

It was hard in spots, though. Hard in a way that when you're feeling that way you wonder if there's any way you have "When I Lift Up My Head" in you.

If you've read the by-log, you know that my favorite song on the new album is Invocation. I realize though--and further evidence of that tonight--that it's not going to be our most popular song. It's just not the type of song that our audience really likes and appreciates fully. That's the impression I get.

Tomorrow is Plain City. Saturday is Inspirations Reunion. Sunday, Bryson City for Singing in the Smokies. I was nervous before this program, I can't imagine how nervous I'll be before that.

Tom, it's a good call to not sing Invocation or When I Lift Up My Head at the beginning of our set. We need to get a bit comfortable before singing those songs. But maybe we should sing 'em first, it'd be good for us.

In other news, T. Nice, Trevor, is dating! And Angie Troyer of all people. My, my. Way to go Trev-meister.

Trevor's made a hole-in-one before. He's a good golfer. I'm sure that's what attracted Angie.

Too bad folks don't appreciate "Invocation" as they should. Likewise, I believe it is your most well-done song on the new album. My favorite on the new album is either "Invocation" or "Sweet Fellowship". Enjoy the opportunity to share your music this weekend, and I look forward to the updates along the way.

I think the two best songs are 'Hit the Mark' and 'Lift up my Head'. Hit the mark, I LOVE the arrangement, and the words are SO perfect.... I think it's my new personal theme song!! But I like a lot of others too... including 'Invocation.' Actually, I like all the songs except one REALLY well... Awsome C.D.!!!! Should keep me entertained for several months.... Lauren

I don't know if I want to say or not... Tom might want to smack me if I do... I don't know, it's not that the song is just SO terrible, but... Lauren

Actually, I just decided I don't care if Tom wants to smack me or not because... HE CAN'T!!!! I just don't really like 'My Souls Been Anchored'. I'm already tired of it. No offense. Lauren

Who cares about Wayne Hooper... All I care about is what sounds good! But I'm glad someone likes that song!
