Froelich's Frolics

Friday evening, I attended a Legacy Five and Greater Vision concert in Indianapolis. It. Was. Awesome. In case you were not aware, Legacy Five recently hired a new bass singer after the original bass singer, Glenn Dustin, resigned from the group. Glenn was one of my favorites, so I was really bummed when he left. But, I was very pleased with the new guy. Matt Fouch did a great job with the group on only his 4th concert with Legacy Five. I got to talk to him a little after the concert, and he was very easy to talk to, really down to earth, like all the guys in L5. Legacy Five had their set first, and did several songs, including one of my favorites, Ask Me Why. I love that song. They did a fabulous job on We Shall See Jesus to end their first set. Greater Vision had a great first set as well. They sang several favorites, like My Name Is Lazarus and I Know A Man That Can. After the break, L5 came back and sang a few more songs, including one that featured the piano pl...

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...

Saturday, July 9th, we went to a Southern Gospel concert down at the Bill Monroe Music Park. It was actually a 3 day concert, but we only went to the Saturday night concert. The performers were Gold City, Legacy 5 and The Perrys. The Perrys were actually there all 3 nights. We really enjoyed the outdoor concert. We were blessed by the music. It was so nice to just sit back and enjoy some good Southern Gospel music by three very talented groups.  It had been a long time since I had heard Gold City sing live, so it was a special treat to see Tim Riley and to hear his booming bass voice.  Gold City did several familiar songs, many I remember hearing the group sing a long time ago.  Gold City's pianist, Bryan Elliott, did a fantastic job. The next group was The Perrys. They also did a great job. This is another group that I had not seen live for a while, if at all. I can't remember now. Then, one of my favorite groups, Legacy 5, hit the stage. I love Legacy 5. They...

On March 26th, Carl and I went to hear Mark Lowry in concert in Indy. It was our first Mark Lowry solo concert, and we really enjoyed it. Mark has Stan Whitmire with him playing the piano for him. I was impressed with Stan's playing. He is really good. Mark was funny as always, and sang several songs that blessed us. It was a really great evening. Funny story, though. Butler was playing their game against Florida during the first part of the concert, when a group called the 3rd Row Boys were singing. (They were good, by the way.) There was a short break before Mark Lowry came on. There were only a few minutes left in the game as the intermission ended. I was keeping track of the game on my phone (as were several others, I could tell). You could see/hear different people in the crowd whisper to each other as Butler won the game. When Mark finished his first song, people were cheering for Butler. hahaha. Here are some pictures from the night. Me with Stan Whitmire during intermis...
