Hi folks, let's catch up on last weekend. I sang (and MC'd) Friday and Saturday night at King's Kid's Camp in Dillsburg, PA. On Friday night, I shared the stage with The Hagans Family (thanks for letting me play drums with ya !!) The Lesters, The Jacobs Bros., palmetto State Qt, and one of my all time favorites, Dave, Duane and Neil (the original Couriers). It was a fantastic night. Saturday night, I sang withThe Pickerings, The Jacobs Bros., The Dixie Echoes, PromisedLand Qt., and another favorite of mine, The Dixie Melody Boys!! On Sunday morning, I sang at Mt. Holly Church of God and after the service, they had a wonderful outdoor luncheon. During lunch, something bit me on my ankle. I don't know what, but I think it was a spider. I didn't think much more about it. We then traveled to Williamsport, PA to sing that night. By the time we arrived (4:15 pm), I was very sick. I went to see a doctor Monday evening. I was very sick, my left leg (knee to ankle) was swollen and bright pink red! Long story short, and after some strong antibiotics, I am feeling much, much better!! Thank you everyone for your prayers!! I am now spiderman !! LOL
WOW, It was hot last week, and several of my six concerts were outside. Wednesday night, I sang at the City Park in Hagerstown, MD. Thanks to all the folks that came out in the sweltering tempreture. It was great to see many familiar faces there that evening. We had a great time in Bath, NY Friday night at the Nite Lite Gospel House. Thanks to Ron & Claudia Pinkerton for being such great hosts!! Saturday night, we sang with Revived, a wonderful trio from DE, and they did a fine job. Sunday morning, I sang at my home church, and simply enjoyed singing close to home for a change. Sunday night was another outdoor concert at North Middleton Park, also close to home, and we shared the stage with local favorites Chapter VII. It was a great concert! In other news, the "interim bus" [van] is working out just fine. Please pray that we'll find a buyer/bus company to purchase the bus. The frame in the front of the bus is rusting away and way too costly to try and repair. Thanks for praying for my ministry!! God bless!! Randy

Hey gang!!! We had a great weekend of ministry. We sang all day (ALL DAY) long at the festival grounds in East Waterford, PA on Saturday. Many of our friends were there singing with us ..... The Choraliers & Pearl, Eric Cooper, Dusty Aleman, Joe Tomlinson, Terry Kent, Mercy's Vessel, Randy Pensinger, and many others. It was a beautiful day for food, fun, fellowship, and Gospel Music!! We left there about 10:30 pm and still had a long drive ahead of us to Seaford, DE. Mark, Jordan, and I arrived at our motel at 4:00 am!! So, we did get a couple hours of sleep. Now, although we had sang for this congregation before, this was our first time to sing at their new location. They outgrew their last church building and moved into a larger facility, and it was and very beautiful place to worship and sing! Bethel Worship Center has always treated me so well, and special thanks to Danny and Barbara Jewell for treating us to lunch after the service!! They didn't think I would jump off their stage/platform, but 3 feet height is still do-able at my age .... ha-ha!! I fooled them all as I leaped high in the air, still singing all the while!! With all the great songs that I sing, Seaford, DE still always asks for the "Death of the Pillsbury Dough Boy" and "Bluegrass Song" .... why, I don't know?!?! But on a serious note, I am looking forward to July (2011), for they asked me to return again the same time next year and do it all again !!!!!!
God bless,
Randy
Over Memorial Day Weekend, we held the annual Gospel Sing at Twin Bridge Campground. Our featured guest was Last Generation (Mike & Karen Mateztian) they did a great job singing. As I was finishing sound check and getting ready to start the concert, I spotted a young girl who I thought I recognized. It couldn't be Lara, she lives in Oklahoma, 20+ hours away, so who could it be?? I was racking my brain wondering who this girl could be ..... wait .... it is Lara!!! She just graduated high school, and wanted to come to PA and see my concert as her graduation present. Now, that is a surprise!! I need some more friends/fans like this!! After the concert, Lara and her grandparents, and my crew all went to Perkins for fun food and fellowship!! It was great catching up with them. Thanks Lara, for being so great, I hope to come and sing in OK in the future!!!
