Saturday night I saw people picking up roadkill. My wife insists it was a dog, but I’m not so sure. Roadkill. Eww.

I drove the family up to Spring Hill, Tennessee on Saturday to see Andrew Peterson (and Ben Shive) in concert. Spring Hill, in case you were wondering, is 3 miles east of the geographical center of nowhere.

Andy and Ben missed their flight in St. Louis, so they called back to Nashville and had Randall Goodgame and Ron Block (from Union Station) come out to be the openers for the evening. Randall and Ron did a great job before Andy and Ben showed up to take the stage. It was a real treat to see them.

Around 9:30, Andrew and Ben pulled into the parking lot and quickly rushed to the stage. AP played some of his new stuff that will be on the new CD “Resurrection Letters.” It’s going to be really, really good.

I got a chance to talk with Randall about the new Caedmon’s Call CD, which is excellent. We talked about the writing and about some exciting things he’s got going on. I rarely get to see Randall, and it was a nice surprise to see him.

Because of the late arrival, we got back extremely late. The kids were exhausted today, but they seemed to have a good time at the concert last night. I’m a little tired from the trip as well, but it was nice to pull away for an evening, hang out with some friends, and listen to some really good music.

I should do this more often.
