I can't tell you how excited I am about this. Above are the three regional winners for the MET competition in Kentucky. The woman at the rear I don't know but the other two, I do. I have the great honor to hear Chris Conley sing at First Pres Church nearly every Sunday. He's so sweet and sings just as sweetly.The bigger deal, though, is Andrea Trusty. Andrea and I are from the same small town, West Liberty. I've known her dad for years. About two years ago I got an email from Andrea who found me online via my website. She confessed that I had been a big influence to her as a child when I came to her elementary school one day and gave a clinic on music. I thought it was so sweet of her to find me all those years later and tell me what a difference I had made in her life. Sometimes, when you're no longer doing what you love, it's hard to remember how many lives you can touch with music.
So it is with great, great pride that I saw her announced as a regional winner via Rich Copely's fantastic blog Copious Notes. Not that she will ever see this post but just let me say it out loud for both of you other readers - Way to go, Andrea. you are MY hero!
