On The Road

Having just arrived home from an overnight trip with the Carolina Quartet to Burnsville, NC, and having made my first overnight trip with the group to Cynthiana, KY two weeks ago, I have formulated a couple of observations about traveling and singing.

1. I absolutely love it.
2. There's no way I'd ever want to do it full-time for a living.

In Burnsville, there were thousands of people in town for the Mount Mitchell Arts And Crafts Fair. At any given time, there were several hundred in the town square listening to music by a variety of artists from all walks of life. What a blast to have the opportunity to not only thrill the hearts of these folks with some quality quartet music, but also to stir their souls with the message of the Gospel and provoke thoughts in their minds about eternal things. Besides, it was fun for me and the other guys.

That being said, it's tiring. I need to rest for a day or two. A one night trip isn't bad, but I can quickly tell I would grow to hate traveling if I had to do it every week for four nights on the average. Fortunately, I believe God has blessed me with the best of both worlds. Three of us are worship leaders in our respective churches. Quitting our jobs to do this for a living isn't part of our plans. Doing a few select dates per month in the Carolinas with occasional overnight, out-of-state trips when it's convenient is what we're all about.

That suits me just fine.
