Gaither Family Fall Fest Concert

Saturday night, Carl took me to the Gaither Family Fall Fest concert in Anderson, at the Reardon Auditorium on the campus of Anderson University. The performers were Woody Wright, who, along with Gloria Gaither, hosted the concert, The Brown Family, The Nelons, and Jason Crabb. It was a great concert. Our seats were only 5 rows from the front.

Woody Wright sang a couple of songs to gt things started.

Then, he introduced the Browns onto the stage.

They did an outstanding job. We had never heard them in concert before, and were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed them. The kids are amazing on the violins.

The Nelons were next. I loved the songs that they sang. Kelly Nelon told a story about her daughter, Amber and American Idol. I guess Amber was able to audition and made it pretty far. When she was in front of the main three judges, Jennifer Lopez asked her if she would be willing to dress more seductively, and to sing only secular songs. Amber answered that she would not be willing to compromise her values and beliefs. Amber got a long standing ovation from the crowd for that. It's so good to see young people standing up for what they believe.

Jason Crabb was the last performer. He didn't sing as long as we were expecting him to, considering he was the headliner. But, he did a great job.

It was also neat getting to meet Jason and talk with him for a while.

Thank you, Carl, for a great evening!
