Dad was very impressed with Mike and loved all the songs. He unfortunatelly wasn't able to make the Holy Ghost Building Concert here in Rock Island because he passed away three weeks prior to show.
He was truly blessed by the music. What a great memory to have. |
Thanks for sharing, & sorry to hear about your Dad.
I assume you were at this?
did you make it to Cornerstone?

Thanks. Very hard to see Dad pass away. Not sure anyone ever gets over it, but he had been very sick for about 6 months with cancer.
I actually promoted both shows here in Rock Island. It was a fun time had by all...especially me!

Did it get deleted? I can't find anything of that description there.

Anything to help, it's a great disc and I think it should do very well, if people hear it!

Thanks for the link, dennis. I still can't see it on the forum itself, which is probably due to some problem this computer has with downloading it.

Just got my copy of HGB and it's incredible! It really sucks that this will not get the play it deserves because people need to wake up and recognize what great music is again! My hat is off to you, Doctor Love, as you and the boys have yet again outdone yourselves!
Buying Holy Ghost Building - $15.00
Gas and food for a road trip to Bushnell, Illinois - $140.00
Seeing the legendary 77s perform at Cornerstone in 2008 - PRICELESS!
*please excuse the 'cheese factor' of the previous analogy but I am so fired up to see them live!

Ditto those sentiments! I'm planning on purchasing HGB @ C'Stone

It's an incredible record. "What Would You Give In Exchange For Your Soul" is currently my favorite track, but that's subject to change.

I went to bed last night with headphones on listening to HGB, and I was amazed at how lush When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again is. From the background vocals to Mike's guitar and smooth-elvis vocals to the crash of cymbals towards the end of the song: perfect in every way!

It was fun to hear him sing an Elvis song in the same manner as Elvis.

Did you happen to catch the stellar performance of Useless Parsley and the Ordinaires on the 77s DVD?

Yes - I've seen that one too.
