Tuacahn 2008
There seem to be about a million reasons why our two shows at Tuacahn were wonderful this past weekend. Allow me to mention a few:
1. Tuacahn amphitheater is situated in one of the most beautifully, pristine settings on God's green earth, well I should say God's red earth in that valley. I can't tell you how many times I looked up as we loaded in and sound checked and lost my breath for a second looking at the majestic crimson bluffs towering against the blue sky. Then, when evening fell and show time came, the fantastic cliffs seemed to humbly stand in reverence to their God in the stars above. Marvelous!
2. Kevin and the entire staff at Tuacahn were not only top-notch professionals, but they are the kind of people you want to hang with. We wanted to move in permanently.
3. I had the honor of having 7 of my best friends in the world on stage with me. They played and sang their hearts out and and their talents strengthened my testimony of the things I believe and my understanding of my religion.
4. My wife and kids were with me. In over 125 shows nationwide, they have only made a few of them. I must admit, at the ages they are, they are a pain in the booty to travel with. In fact, we are now in SLC waiting to catch a 6PM flight home. Last night after driving from St. George to my sister-in law's in Sugarhouse, both of my daughters threw up all night long (one every 30 minutes). The fiasco started with one of my daughters blowing Richfield's best Mexican food all over from her bed to the bathroom. I cleaned it up and threw up while I did it. Then my other daughter started and it was an indescribable sleepless night. All that aside, when my kids sang "Somewhere There's A Mountain" under those stars, my life somehow changed forever.
5. The people at KONY Country radio were so kind and generous with NTB and Due West. We love you guys!
6. However, the highlight of the weekend were the people of St. George and its surrounding areas, as well as those amazing people who traveled all the way from California, Arizona, Colorado and many other places to see the shows. We heard incredible stories and got to know beautiful people as we talked with you after the shows. We are truly blessed to live in this day, to know of our history and to have the blessings that we do today as members of our Savior's church. Keep up the great work, keep those wonderful smiles and we can't wait to see you again St. George! We love you!
