• Charleston, How You Been?

    Well, the tour with Sanctus Real is off to a good start.  First show was last night in Charleston, SC, on the campus of Charleston Southern University.  I knew the place looked familiar.  Turns out, I was there just a couple years ago with Barlow Girl on their tour.  The crowd was really great, which always makes for a fun show.  It was getting to the show that was the problem.  We arrived despite 2, count 'em 2 flat tires in the middle of the night.  We arrived 6 hours late for the show, and the crew barely got the production up and running in time.  But they did, and the show goes on…

    Today, we had a day off, which seems weird, a day off on the 2nd day of the tour… Regardless, we settled in nicely to the thought of having nothing to do!  I went for a run in the hotel exercise room, which turned into more of a walk with a steep incline when my phone started ringing with my manager needing to talk to me…
    But it was cool, I was able to get some work done, and sweat a bit at the same time.  Then, off to blow my workout at the local mall.  We went to see a movie with some of the Sanctus guys, ate some buttered popcorn.  Caught a cab back to the hotel, and wouldn't you know it, the cab driver had WAY FM playing in the car.  We asked him if he listens all the time, he said yes.  So, we got him and his 4 kids tickets to the show tomorrow night.  He wouldn't let us pay the cab fare.  Pretty cool how God is involved even in little things.
    Well, I better get back to doing nothing on my day off… Like my daughter always sings when she's quoting the movie "Annie," It's a hard knock life for us…"  -mw

      Got to go see you in Tallahassee! You are one of the best singer/song writers I’ve had the pleasure to listen to! God has given you a great talent to put to song a message that grips the heart as well as a wonderful voice to sing that message. I pray that God continues to use you in mighty ways! Love love love “The Motions”–might be my new RINGTONE!!! Remember that standing invitation to the great city of Thomasville, GA!!
