    Thank you Christopher Cross for that appropriate song reference… Just got back to Nashville yesterday afternoon.  Returned home from the Music Boat 2009.  What is the Music Boat 2009, you might ask?  Well, it's the Music Boat after Music Boat 2008… Ok, not funny.  It's a Christian Music Cruise packed out with about 2000 people, and a bunch of artists like myself, Mercyme, TobyMac, Hawk Nelson, 33 Miles, Jars of Clay, and the list goes on… We spent 4 days on the boat, stopped in Coco Cay and the Bahamas.  And all along the way, we all did concerts for the people.  It was good times.  I was accompanied by my band, my parents, and a princess named, Lulu.  Mom stayed home with our newborn, and Lulu came out with Daddy.  That was fun!  Here's a couple shots from our show on the pool deck on the last day.  It was stinking hot, but I chose to wear jeans anyway… what was I thinking.  I should have worn shorts, and then jumped into the pool right after the show… Maybe that's what I'll do on the Music Boat 2010… [clear]

      Sounds like you had fun. Some year maybe I’ll be able to do one of the Christian music boat cruises that happen. And Gospel Music Channel played your music video for “The Motions” this morning. I caught the tail end of it as I was on a phone call.

      I heard you play an acoustic version of The Motions on K-LOVE radio. Is there any way I can obtain a copy of this song? I loved hearing the acoustic version.
      Thank you.

      Hey, you were great on the Boat! I got some pretty cool pictures of your concert on the pool deck. I used a wide angle lens with the camera mounted on my monopod. Check them out at http://www.waynesdigital.com and let me know which ones you would like and I’ll send them to ya!

      We enjoyed all of your concerts on the Music Boat! We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and we don’t plan to wait that long before we go again!!
