Friday, September 29, 2006 - Name that worshipper
I intended to let y'all in on the big secret tonight since I finally told Mrs. Anonymous, but I have something else interesting to talk about...and this whole suspense thing is fun.
I was putting baby Paige to bed and flipped on the tv to watch some preaching while I gave her a bottle.
There was a Phillips, Craig, and Dean concert on and I thought, "Oh, I've heard of them. I wonder what they sing."
I know at this point some of you are in shock that I didn't know who they were but I can explain. B.C. I was a huge country music fan...more accurately a Garth Brooks fanatic. There's just somethin' about that chubby cowboy wannabe that I was just mesmerized with. I not only owned every cassette (eventually cd's), but I knew every word to every song on those tapes and even who wrote each song.
My walls were covered in posters/pictures of Garth/Chris Gaines and that was how everyone knew me...the Garth fan.
When I came to the Lord I trashed every bit of that garbage and began to listen only to Christian music. I decided that I would not pick some artist to swoon over, but rather just focus on the music and the Focus of the music. I do know who some artists are simply because I had to learn names to buy cd's, but for the most part I couldn't tell you who sings what.
Anywho, I thought I'd watch the concert to see if I recognized any of the songs.
Of course I knew nearly every one and found myself worshipping along with tears streaming down my face as the Lord spoke to me through the music. At some point I open my eyes and am startled...
A fellow blogger is playing the keyboard.
That can't be...can it?!
As I continue to watch and worship I become certain that I know (well at least in the blog world) that musician.
At the close of the concert I watch carefully for the names of the band members. I don't know the last name of course, but there is a musician listed with the same first name.
Cool beans!
Of course, these reports are unconfirmed at the moment, but stay tuned to my comments and maybe we can get this fellow blogger to confirm and maybe tell us more about it.

:) Yep, that was me. I'm amazed that you caught that. :)
I've played with PCD probably about 8 or 9 times, but since moving to Boone a few years ago, I rarely get called to play for them anymore. (Plus, they hardly ever use a full band anymore in their concerts.)
I was delighted when they asked me to meet them in Virginia Beach to tape that concert in July, 2005. I got the call less than a week before the concert, and hastily made arrangements to drive up there with my wife and son.
I'm very glad that the concert blessed you! I long to see God get all of the glory from efforts like that, and it's a blessing to read reports like yours.
(Incidentally, my last name was misspelled in the credits anyway!)
God bless!

PCD have ministered to my family and been there through their music for so many of our ups and downs giving us hope and "holding our hands" through tragedy. Their group is a real blessing to us!! :-) I can still remember where I was when I first heard "Turn up the Radio"--their first radio single!! Wow, I feel old!! Ha Ha!!
Hey, don't keep us in suspense too long!! Love, Kris

Trish,
Thanks for your comment on my blog. I enjoyed reading your thought.
And I'm so glad that you were blessed by PCD, and utterly amazed that you recognized Steve on the program. You must have a very keen eye! It was an awesome concert.
Have a blessed day!
Christy :)

Small world this blogging thing makes it, huh? I started connecting with other bloggers in TX and it turned up a bunch of mutual connections.
I replied to your secret shout out on that other site, iykwim - but haven't heard from you. I've been thinking of ya.
(hugs)

Don't feel bad about not knowing the names. I can't remember them. My girls listen to bands like Switchfoot, Jars of Clay and many others. I listen to them by proxy (proximity that is) so they're all jumbled together and I don't know who's who. It doesn't matter. If God's name is being glorified through song, that's what counts. Way to go for guessing and way to go pianoSteve. Praise God, and all God's people said........................
