"one" concert

i had the distinct privilege of being the "official photographer" for my first concert this past weekend!  our good friend, kevin boese, was releasing his new cd and hosted the best party i've been to in awhile in the process.  it was an amazing evening...the atmosphere was warm, the people felt like family and the music...well, it speaks for itself.

duncan africa is an amazing organization which is helping to empower students in uganda, not only by teaching them how to build guitars, but also by providing them with other life skills that will enable them to start their own businesses and be agents of change in their own villages.

kevin has surrounded himself with incredible friends, not only in life but in music and it was so sweet to see all the people who had been involved in the album on the stage throughout the night.

one of those friends happened to have a bright red keytar.  can you say "wicked awesome"?

my husband also happens to be a friend of kev's and he kept the mood light by royally roasting kevin, the gaither band and anyone else who dared heckle him.  ahh, the life of a comedian's wife: a good balance of pride + mild embarrassment.  thankfully kevin was amused. 

here's a shot of him singing "mary did you know" ( i can hear you saying "no he di-n't", but i can assure you.  he did.)

thank you for inviting me to be a part of this evening.  it was and will continue to be an honor to watch as you step into all God has for you and is calling you to be.  i have a feeling all your friends would say the same.

"may the peace of christ go with you wherever he may send you.  may he guide you through the wilderness, protect you through the storm.  may he bring you home rejoicing at the wonders he has shown you.  may he bring you home rejoicing once again into our doors."

buy kev's album here and here.  if you're super old school, you can also find kevin in parking lots across abbotsford...rush concert t-shirt on, trunk popped, stereo blaring just waiting for unsuspecting worship music lovers to sell to.

one more note: this will be my last post on this blog!!  by this time next week, my new website should be up and running.  good timing too because google just informed me i was going to have to start paying for more space here.  i'll be posting the official "switch" link soon, so stay tuned and get ready to change your bookmark...
