Pat, Jesse, Dave
It was great to hear their music. Jesse Smith has a very unique voice and style!
Dave Swinford
Of course Jim Parker was in rare form, as always. His famed "Chicken Truck" was a great hit enjoying a revival having previously been recorded by John Anderson, has just been released on Aaron Tippin's new CD.
Don't you just love his hat?!!

Joining Jim in the line up of songwriters were Brian White, Pete Sallis and Karyn Williams. Brian used to be a youth and music minister. In that genre he earned 11 number one songs and two Dove Awards. These days, he is successful in the country market with songs recorded by Trace Adkins, Charley Pride, Neal McCoy and Rodney Atkins. Pete plays guitar, drums and bass guitar and has written songs recorded by George Canyon, Bucky Covington and Rodney Atkins. He is also a Cubs fan, being from Chicago! Pete also fancies himself a comedian. :-) Karyn, one of 14 children, some adopted from around the world, is a songwriter, artist and an author as well as former Miss University of Florida 2000. Her songs reflect a heart for God and a passion for people. The group put on a show that was both outstanding in musical talent as well as full of laughs.
Left to Right: Pete, MJ (me), Brian, Karyn, Jim'til next time!
