Staying Cool During the Dog Days of Summer

Sweet Memories
In these dog days of summer, it helps to remember that a month ago we were in the beautiful country of Lebanon. Every day we shared music and enjoyed the company of the people of Heart for Lebanon, an amazing non-profit that refuses to turn its back on the plight of the refugees (mainly Syrian) within their borders. Every evening we enjoyed watching the sun set over the Mediterranean. Despite battling laryngitis and illness, we had enough voice and strength for each day, even getting through Thursday where we led in worship and devotions, taught crazy games, fun music (i.e. the Hokey Pokey, the Chicken Dance, etc), and ended the evening with a concert. BTW, that was the BEST concert we’ve ever had—the people truly made us feel like rock stars!

We also enjoyed our treks to Ft Wayne, Indiana to share our published music at the ALCM Region I gathering where Doris got to hear the whole assembly sing through “Breathe A Prayer” and “Psalm 31” while Sharon manned the booth, and to beautiful Cape May NJ where we sang at Tabernacle UMC.

On the Air
We’re thrilled to be guests on the Americana Radio Show, hosted by singer-songwriter Caroline Ferrante and broadcast by the UK’s West Norfolk Radio. The live taping will be done at the O Street Mansion in Washington DC. We’re even more excited that we’ll be joined by our friends, Jim Robeson (who is also our sound engineer and plays bass on our recordings) and Tom Teasley, world percussionist, whose beautiful sounds were on our Evening Grace CD. We tape on August 28 at 1– come on by and be a part of the live audience!
