Worship Weekend With Friends

A crazy, busy weekend. It started with the birth of Kyler Jace Martin - my daughter's and AJ the Wonderdog's first son! I guess that makes me a grand-dad. Really? Is that how it works? Kyler on right - one hour old.

Then it was the "Heart Of Worship" concert presented by LIFE 100.3 - two days with bands - Sean Dayton, Dan Bremnes, Chris Bray and Dan Macaulay. Two shows - Huntsville Saturday and Barrie on Sunday. We had great crowds and enjoyed amazing songs by gifted songwriters and performers.

Pastor Lawrence Crews at Calvary in Barrie hosted the Dan Bremnes Band Sunday morning.

I know Chris, Sean, Dan and the other Dan are reading this blog and if I don't post all the great photos I'll leave someone out. So I will share one big highlight of the last three days. Meeting Tour de France cyclist Tyler Farrar! Wha-a-at? He's in the band?
Haha! Not really, but Devon Leyenhorst sure looks like Tyler Farrar to me! I called him "Tyler" for a day until I saw his fist clenched and then I figured the joke was getting old.

In Huntsville, Dan, Chris and Sean met the Dan Bremnes Band who acted as the house band to back them up. The band learned the songs over the Internet in Vancouver so the Huntsville rehearsal was the first time they had played together, ever. Wow! These guys are so talented!

Two days of music, many miles, much food, late nights, an exquiste after-party with Alicia, rubber boots and milk, the beach, shirts too tight, double-stroke rolls, merch, merch and more merch, an extra bedroom, roast beef, iPhones, iPhones and more iPhones! Did I leave anything out?

Right - me and Chris Bray.

I'm tired. But it's all so good! Bless you guys! Be good!
