It literally just feels like yesterday when our cute little family of five piled into a minivan and made our first trip to Marion, Indiana. We were so nervous about making our first appearance in the States. I remember the very first concert we did at the Northern Gospel Singing Convention. The emcee gave us a huge introduction and people stood to their feet anxious to hear what Canadians sound like…We were the new faces in Southern Gospel Music…My hands were sweaty and my stomach was a ball of nerves, I thought for sure I was going to puke right then and there…. Then…our sound track started and we started to sing our first song…”Goodbye World Goodbye”….we were off….the only problem was…”Goodbye World Goodbye” wasn’t the track that was playing….So…We were singing “Goodbye World Goodbye” to the sound track of “We Shall Wear a Robe and Crown”….we were off to a smashing start. I remember Jessie finally noticed that our vocals and the track didn’t match up, so she stopped us, and then we all looked at the sound man horrified that he played the wrong track….everyone laughed, and Dad told the audience…”This happens every time we’re in the States”...hahaha! Those were good times
HFM is Celebrating our 10th year anniversary, and we want you all to be a part of it. On Nov. 21st we’re hosting a celebration concert at Calvary Church on Ireland side Rd. in Simcoe, On. We are going to re-introduce some of the “old classics” like; “Standing on the Rock”, “When He Was on the Cross”, “I’m Satisfied”, “Feeling Fine” and many, many more. We’re going to share funny stories, super embarrassing photo’s, and never before seen photoage. Sharing the stage with us, our emcee, and dear friend, Drew Geerts from Indiana, “DW and Jessie”, “Kingsway Quartet” (who were very influential to us in the early years), and the “Johnson Quartet”. It’s going to be a great night. There’s no admission, but a loving offering will be taken. We just want you come on out, laugh with us, cry with us, and re-live “The Glory Days”, I can hardly wait….
