Christmas at the Ryman

Yesterday was the day for my annual pilgrimage up to Nashville to see Andrew Peterson’s Christmas show “Behold the Lamb of God.” Each year, they sell out the Ryman auditorium and have some of the most talented people I’ve ever met get up and play through Andy’s Christmas CD.
It’s hard to post a review of a concert like that. There’s just so much going on, so much talent on stage…it’s overwhelming, really. That Ryman sound system is pretty nice, and it was great hearing Jill Phillips do “Labor of Love” in a room that is acoustically designed very well. Her voice is very powerful, and there are few small church or coffee cafe systems that can really handle all of it.
Then there was the magnificent Ron Block (from AKUS) on banjo. That was incredible. And Andy Osenga’s guitar juggling act. And Ben Shive was obviously enjoying himself. And Randall Goodgame, Gabe Scott, Andy Gullahorn, and many more. It was definitely a night to remember.
You can (and should) get the CD at Andrew’s web site.

‘Twas good to see you, even if we didn’t talk for what, more than 10 seconds?
Imagine if we could talk now …
