RECAP: MVCSC
I just returned home after spending last week in Rushville, Indiana where I performed each night with some very special friends for approximately 40 junior high students and 15 adult staff members at Mahoning Valley Christian Service Camp. A great time was had by all, and plenty of new friends were made. Many thanks go out to Rachel Bishop, Brenten Lamoncha, and Ethan Hardwick, my musical comrades and partners in crime - thanks for your hard work, dedication, and a job well done! I could not have done it without all of your help. I'm also proud of the fact that (unlike LAST year) none of the band members were injured this time around - I seem to vaguely remember a gimpy vocalist with a very badly sprained ankle sitting on stage with a microphone and singing - and also remember playing my guitar with a broken finger last year. Great times! Special thanks go out to Matt Hatfield and Chris Koch for an excellent job leading and planning the week, and also to Mike Riggs for his rather "entertaining" lessons. Thanks also to all of the other staff members and children. I'm amazed with how much I learned as an "adult" (I'm still not very keen on associating that word with myself, as I still feel as if I am a kid) from all of the kids. It was awesome to spend the week "on fire" and getting to know everyone - I'm definitely looking forward to returning once again next year!
