most memorable musical moment
I would have to say the most memerable moment was when Randy Travis came to one our shows. Randy lived in the area and had a friend who told him about our band .
I remember I was a nervous wreck, to say the least, when I saw him in the crowd. I recall glancing at the table where he and his wife, Mary, were sitting and , at that moment, I happened to catch him pumping his fist to the music with a huge smile on his face. Gotta admit, it sure felt good to get that kind of reaction from somebody of that acclaim .
