Wagoner, OK. Day 14.
I’m going to keep it short and sweet tonight, folks. We are on the penultimate day of tour, and today was quite a way to spend our last performance on the road.
I have been to a lot of churches with New G on tour, but I can honestly say that I have NEVER been to a church that was this excited about our arrival. When the busses pulled up to the church, volunteers poured out of the building with hugs and smiles, all of them wearing matching shirts with our logo embossed on the back. When we walked in there was a goodie bag for each of the singers with our tour logo printed on the bags. These guys really went all out.
The performance reflected the level of love that the kids felt from the church. Bemo says that in some performances the singers just “won’t be denied”. This was one of those. There were tears from the kids right away with Garrison’s opening dialogue. They were deeply moved and that emotion poured out to the congregation.
After the benediction we divvyed up the girls to different host homes, and the boys all got bussed over to a rec center where the church has volleyball, foosball, you name it. We told them to be in bed before midnight…Good Lord, I hope they listen…
You have so much reason to be proud of these amazing young people, I know I sure am!
See you tomorrow…
Joseph

Tour Day 15 – Wagoner OK to St. Joseph MO – Homecoming
Of the 43 years I have lived, this has been the hardest year of my life thus far. In January, the home remodeling store that Emily and I owned went out of business. Longer story than I have time to tell here, but it happened. To say it was hard isn’t really right. It...
Tour Day 13 – Albuquerque NM to Roswell NM to Amarillo TX
Today was a very special day for our singers. They were introduced to what has affectionately or unaffectionately become known as “Joseph’s Morning Song”. It’s my special obnoxious alarm clock I grace the singers with no more than once per tour. With the veteran...
Tour Day 12 – Prescott AZ – Albuquerque NM
Friends, I am in Albuquerque in an un-airconditioned fellowship hall with 20 teenagers. It is a time-honored tradition to suck it up sometimes and just have some man cave time on tour (or girl cave time…all this time being married to Emily and what they do over there...
Tour Day 11 – Prescott AZ to Holbrook AZ
Hey Guys! Joseph again. Sorry the last couple of days have been so short and sweet, I’ve been tired! And the singers have been also. It has been a while since we went this direction (2015 to be exact), and I had forgotten how long the bus rides are. It’s tiring just...
