SISTERS JOY made their second trip from Lamesa to Post to deliver another wonderful performance on Friday. We had a chance to get to know Shanna, Jana, and Stacy a bit better this time around, and they are a delight, both musically and personally.
Every time we have one of these terrific groups on our stage, any doubts I may have had about where Ragtown Gospel Theater is going, or who is in the driver’s seat are just washed away. Listening to SISTERS JOY, and hearing the way the audience reacted to them, I was overcome with gratitude to the Lord for letting me be part of this.
Every night when I get to talk to you in the audience, and sing for you, I am struck by that same sense of wonder and gratitude. How blessed we are that the Lord gave us this work to do, connecting with people through the songs and words heard in that room.
Seven more weekends of PETER THE ROCK folks! Everyone needs to see this before it goes away. It will be two years before we will have the opportunity to bring PETER THE ROCK back to the stage at RAGTOWN GOSPEL THEATER. If there are people you know, who would enjoy or benefit from seeing this amazing production, then choose a date between now and Labor Day weekend, click on “TICKETS” right up at the top of this page, and bring them down to Post!
Next Friday at 8 o’clock would be a perfect time! One of our favorite groups, 4HEAVENSAKE, is coming back to RAGTOWN GOSPEL THEATER!
This is going to be a very special night, because my dear friend, JERRY BROWNLOW, has joined 4HEAVENSAKE recently. I am excited out of my mind to hear him singing with those guys! I got to play a bit of the “matchmaker” in that equation, and I feel like that one will definitely wind up in the “Lord Did That One” column. I always love it when I get taken along for the ride.
Jerry and I go back thirty years. We worked to gether at a radio station in Plainview, and he was one of my favorite people then too. He was playing bass and singing with a little group called “The Maines Brothers Band” back then. He ended up with his name inscribed on the Buddy Holly Walk of Fame a few years ago. At about that same time, however, Jerry had his name inscribed in another place that means far more to him. His name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, as he made the decision to give his heart and music to the Lord.
Jerry and I have talked several times about where the Lord has led us in our music, and I knew he was looking for a group to perform with. Bruce Fellers called and told me about an opening coming up in 4HEAVENSAKE, and we talked about Jerry. I made a couple of phone calls and they got together. From what they all say, Jerry is a perfect fit, and I know he is delighted to be part of such a committed and talented quartet. Okay, a couple of phone calls doesn’t sound like much of a contribution, but when you get to play even a tiny part in something so cool that Lord is doing…does it get any better than that?
Bless Y’all,
Chip
