As I also posted on The Choir's board, I just wanted to share with you my Sunday morning church experience with the Lost Dogs yesterday. They played at Derri's dad's church, which -- according to Mapquest -- is only 9 minutes away from my house. It just would have been wrong not to go.
Anyhow, the church is a small building with a big wooden cross behind the pulpit. The crowd was an odd mix of Dogs fans and senior citizens The service began with the church's worship band, before the Dogs took the stage for an expected 45 minute set. But they actually ended up playing at least an hour. Lots of good songs, bad jokes and uplifting messages.
This show was special for me, since I was able to attend with my whole family. My son (11) is just now starting to appreciate his dad's CD collection, so it was so cool to introduce him to Derri, Terry and Mike. They were all friendly, as always -- even when my daughter (5) gave Mike a crayon stick figure Dogs picture she'd drawn during the show.
I've seen the Dogs, as well as their individual bands, many times. From large stages -- like Cornerstone -- to small clubs. But this was special, since it was on sacred Choir ground, if you will. Just across from the church is an apartment, which used to house The Choir's recording studio. Oh, if those walls could only talk! And to think that Derri grew up running around these grounds dreaming of one day becoming a rock star.
If anybody else on the board was there, please chime in. For those of you who are a little further away than 9 minutes, I am sincerely sorry you couldn't be there. Once again, this was special.
Dan

DaN,
do not listen to phreak...
we want it all
a scan of the swiped set list, photos, the bootleg recording, a sliver of WooD from the Old rugged Cross behind the pulpit...
we even want the powerpoint the church's worship band used before the Dogs took the stage

And if Mike left any backwash in a water bottle, I think I can sell it in little vials.

Keep the bottle and sell it separately when it's empty.
