Celebrating 50…

Back on Feb. 14, 2010, Mount Olive celebrated our 50th anniversary. The band celebrated by singing songs that we had done as far back as any of us could remember. I even dressed the part, too! 🙂

Here’s I Believe in Jesus complete with the stuttering leader (me) and the Apostle’s Creed in the middle just like we did it back in the day. Thanks to Daniel Sievert for providing the video!

My first YouTube video

I’m not one to share a lot of media, but yesterday I found myself listening to my personal music library and reminiscing about this night when Mark Belanger and I performed together at his gig at the Flat Iron Cafe in Middleborough, MA while I was visiting there as part of my summer vacation in 2010. Here’s how we looked and sounded after one brief rehearsal:

Special thanks to my friend Patrick Mullin for using my iPhone 4 to video us, and to Mark for graciously sharing the stage for a few songs. A good time was had by all!
