My wife and I chose another music festival over Cornerstone this year.
Much of our decision-making was based on HGB. "The 77s have a great new album coming out; they will certainly tour the west coast, and we will see them then." That west coast tour never happened, and I was afraid that we would not get to hear the excellent new material live this year. G d bless Linda for posting the details of the Sacramento concert!
Mike and Mark played largely an acoustic set on the second night of the l'abri conference in Sacramento. It was mostly songs from HGB, and they sounded great live. The set list was
I'll Remember You, Love, in My Prayers
What Would You Give in Exchange for Your Soul
Stranger Won't You Change Your Sinful Ways
HGB
City of Refuge (Mike picked up his electric for this one!)
Keep Your Lamps Trimmed/Nobody's Fault
Men are so busy (Hillman)
The Lust etc
Do It For Love
The musicianship, vocals, and harmonies were outstanding, and it was such a treat to hear the new material live. Mike introduced most of the songs, crediting Blind Willie, Steve Scott, Flatt and Scruggs, Rev Davis, and the Grateful Dead. He shared that the old songs used to bug him and make him feel nervous, that they do so even more now as he knows what they mean. When he introduced "Lust," he shared that it was not meant to be a song but only anger management. He was really frustrated about a number of things, so he picked up and pad and pencil and began to vent. I wish my venting sounded like that.
The next day, in between workshops and seminars, they played the tape of the concert again and again. There is little better than the lectures of Dick Keyes and Jerram Barrs mixed with the music of the 77s!

Can we get a review of the lectures down in the Devotions and Discussion forum?

Yes, I'll try.
I could also send you a couple of CDs on Barrs teachings on evangelism
(using Christ's scandalous outreach to Zaccheus as a model) and "Echoes of Eden" (glimpses of G d in literature and the arts).

Let me know how you want to go about that.

I'll probably use them for the next two weeks. Then I can mail them to you to use for awhile. You'll have to remind me.
