The one thing that I absolutely adore about being an artist is all the chances I have to be a part of some incredible events. On July 31st, I had a chance to share my music to help raise money for the March of Dimes and to celebrate life.
My day began around 5 AM….. Kevin, Ethan and I hit the road for the Talladega Speedway. I was scheduled to play for the March of Dime’s ‘Bikers for Babies’ annual fundraiser. What an incredible event to be a part of!!! From the warm welcomes, to the Bubba Bump Blues Band, to the bikers who made the trip, to the many volunteers, to the rides around the track and so on and on…… I’ll never forget being a part of such a wonderful event!! Raising money to help babies…… I didn’t think it could get much better than that….. but……
We pulled into our driveway around 4:45 PM, packed up my Jeep with sound equipment and headed to celebrate life. A dear family friend was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia a year ago. After going through chemo and a bone marrow transplant, we are all now looking back on the memories of a very difficult and painful year. I say looking back and celebrating life….. today he is just fine and walking around just like any other 9 year old Little Man. I was so honored when his Mom and Dad asked for my music to be a part of their celebration, but I had no idea how playing this gig would touch my heart and my soul.
Like I said at the beginning. Being an artist has its’ perks……. I was so blessed to share my music at 2 unforgettable events!!! That’s what making memories is all about and that is what my music is all about for me…… touching people so that they reflect and remember each and every blessing of each and every day.
Make Every Moment Count,
