Gary and I went to a fun concert Friday night with a group of friends. Mark Lowery, the Martins and pianist Whitmire. Mark was so funny and what a voice. He spoke of how he got his beginng with The Gaithers and how he introduced the Martins to the Gaithers. I believe it was their mother who, at a concert handed Mark a "cassette" of her children singing. He shared it with Gloria and they were launched!
Mark told the crowd, "you musicians need to always have a cassette of your songs with you and hand them to any artist you have an opportunity. That was a perfect opening for me to get my songs into someones hands. I nudged Gary, " Go out and get one of my cds of the newest songs I've written." Being the good husband he is he jumped up , ran out and brought one in to me.
At the end of the concert as Mark was sitting on his chair signing autographs when it was my turn I said, "Sorry Mark, I don't have a cassette, but will my CD work for you?" He laughed and said, ""sure enough, we will listen to it in the bus!".
Say a little prayer for me that he likes one enough to want to record it!
