Can you be addicted to a cd?? Well I am!! I mentioned in my last blog that I was going to help out The Gabe Dixon Band the other night. They were opening up for two guys,
Matt Wertz and
Dave Barnes. I had never heard of them before but now I am a big fan. I bought the Dave Barnes cd called Brother, Bring the Sun. I love it!! I cannot stop listening to it. Anyway, the show was great. They obviously have a big following. It was pretty crowded for a Tuesday night. Mostly college kids. Now I have been to see HUNDREDS of bands in my lifetime. Usually it's your typical ro

wdy crowd. I noticed that this crowd was different. They seemed so sweet and wholesome. I heard mentions of youth groups and mission trips. Not your typical "out to see a band at a bar" talk. I figured these guys must be Christians. Turned out they are. I think they started out as Christian singers but have gone the secular way with their musi

c. It was just really refreshing to see such a nice crowd. Matt and Dave are very passionate about helping out kids in Africa and took about 15 minutes to tell of a club they were involved with called the Mocha Club. You donate what would be the cost of 3 mochas (7$) a month to this cause and the money goes to feeding these kids and supplying fresh water a

nd medicine. We were standing beside a couple who were working the booth filling out applications for this cause. I was suprised at all the people signing up during the evening but was really amazed after the show. There was a line practically out the door of all these young college kids signing up to donate money every month. I thought that was so sweet and it gave me a new outlook on college kids these days.. The whole night was really nice and Gabe Dix
on was awesome too. I got my picture with him. Always thinking about the blog...ya know :)
