Some Band Photos "Outside Looking In"

These were taken in September, 2009- same time as my " From the outside looking in" photos were taken. I look better with the band, I think. These were slightly happier times. We had only been together for a few years, and I felt like we had more magic then. Not that we don't now. But looking back, it's easy to see how we fit well together, and we were 6 members, instead of five . Betty Robertson, the blonde lady with the glasses  was the mother of Terri , who sang vocals. She played keyboards as well. She left the band to pursue other things, as she was sought after as a pianist for another Baptist church in town. Her keyboard died one day in late 2011, and she hasn't played with us since. I kind of miss the days when she was still with us. She was about my mother's age, and they both went to the same school- Thomas Jefferson High, in Richmond.

Here's a trivia note: I am the only member of the band who doesn't have blue eyes. My eyes are Hazel (greenish-brown). I guess I thought I'd throw that out there.

  2. That’s my favorite song that you do. I prefer the band in the background. Just adds to it.

Lee Jackson Day Weekend- Lexington VA!

 Although the Commonwealth of Virginia sadly no longer recognizes Lee-Jackson Day Weekend, many Virginians still honor and celebrate it. Here are a just a few shots from Lee-Jackson Day weekend in Lexington ! There was an awesome parade we did through downtown Lexington , which was preceeded by a memorial service at Stonewall Jackson Cemetery. I marched with a large group of close to 100 people, and many spectators on the street waved and said "God Bless, Y'all!" to us. We got  almost all positive feedback and encouragement. The town itself is run by liberals, but many that live there are not on that side , and are real patriots. I enjoyed walking through Lexington, I haven't been there in many many years. On my way back, I stopped at the Depot Grille in Staunton, Virginia- a fun restaurant which was converted from an actual railroad depot. My waitress was a doll. The weather was chilly, but bearable.  It was a fun time overall !             ...

October Recap: Show At The Wayside Inn and Belle Grove

 In early October I sang at Larrick's Tavern, located in the beautiful Wayside Inn. I had stayed at the Wayside Inn before when I had a show at Gospel Fest in June. I somehow keep returning to the northwest corner of Virginia. There's a nice church in Winchester called Crossroads Community Chapel that I like to visit when I'm there. My show went well and I met the owners. I also got to have a tour of Belle Grove plantation down the road ,on the site of "Cedar Creek" Battlefield. The whole area is said to be "haunted", but I just rebuke whatever is there. Usually hauntings are demonic in nature. The first time I stayed at the Wayside Inn, I was in the "Lee Room" in the newer part of the hotel on the ground floor. It was named for General Lee. This time I stayed in the "Jefferson Room" on the 3rd floor in the oldest part of the hotel. Each hotel room is unique in design and named after a historic figure. Ironically, in the Jefferson roo...

Day At The Park

 A lovely spring day lead me to Robius Landing Park . I enjoyed a stroll around nature and seeing the dogwoods in bloom. The river is quite nice, and the park is generally free from riff raff or unsavory elements. It's nice to get out of the city limits. Feels safe and fresh.  It was around 70 degrees and very windy but enjoyable. I saw people walking their dogs and they seemed to also be local.
