Tonight I was part of Kyle and Meggan Short's wedding and cocktail hour. It was hectic because it was in two locations and both uptown Charlotte with Friday 5:00 traffic. I got setup easily at Byron's South Side for the cocktail hour. Even though I had to lift the cart up a few steps by myself... Lynn was working at Merlefest. I left in what I thought was enough time to get to the First Methodist Church on 9th Street. Not! Bumper to bumper traffic... but I made it. Barely. I did my sound check and the organist, Don, startedOwen Poteat's BLOGletting these pipes above my guitar loose... and I mean loose! Man, they sounded awesome... deep, deep and loud... just like I like it. My part of this wedding was easy. I played and sang, "When I Say I Do" by Matthew West. I don't toot my own horn, but wow it was a breathtaking experience. That church has one of the best acoustics I've ever heard, period.
So once they said I do, I ducked out the back door of the church and scooted back to Byron's South Side to provide the music for the cocktail hour. It was an outdoor, patio, event and I played the full setup with drums and all. I started out with Cry Lonely and kept it low key until Born On a Bayou and ended with Phillip Phillips' "Home". Thank you Kyle and Meggan for choosing me for your music. On a side note, I really missed my wife tonight. We are a great team and when she's not there when I perform I realize all she actually does. She sure does much more now that she ever has and I missed her being there. Here's a link to the song I sang in the wedding:
