JN Tour 2011 Day 3

We went to Dollywood today with the kids. I really had no idea what to expect, but it’s a decent theme park.  I rode two roller coasters, Thunderhead and the Mystery Mine.  Both were great, Thunderhead is a fast wooden coaster, and Mystery Mine was a surprisingly fun ride through a mine and then outside.  We checked out a gospel group at one of the shows, called the Kingdom Heirs. While they were great singers, we quickly realized they were singing to a track (even though there were some live musicians), and so I lost interest and bailed after a few tunes.

After that, it was off to First United Methodist Church in Morristown, TN.  It’s a beautiful church with great acoustics.  I think the concert tonight was the best one of the tour so far!  The youth choir from this church joined us for Agnus Dei, which basically doubled our choir and made for a very powerful performance.  There was also a great crowd and that always helps us sing & play with more energy.

On the road today, we listened to Blue Collar Radio on XM. Of course a few of those jokes made their way into our interactions all night.  Good times!  More tomorrow…
