Hey Everyone -

Quick announcement about a concert I’ll be involved with locally this weekend.

I’m excited to announce a great concert that will happen THIS FRIDAY NIGHT, Oct 12 at 8:00 PM in the Ritz Theater.
It’s called “Baby Boom” and is concert to benefit my friends, James and Brooke Sellers. (many of you in Blog World know James and Brooke – James aka “The Tone Guru”)

You may recognize James from being one of the two electric guitar players with Worship Under the Stars. He and his wife Brooke have a strong desire to start a family, but have experienced the tragedy of multiple miscarriages in the past few years. Because of complications with these, they are moving forward with plans for “invitro”. This is an expensive procedure, and one of our mutual friends, TJ Thompson, came up with an idea – hey, let’s have a music concert and donate all the proceeds to help James and Brooke start their family.

So, the “Baby Boom” concert idea was birthed. I call it “friends making music and helping other friends accomplish a dream”. The doors open at 7:30 this Friday night and tickets are $15. ALL PROCEEDS will go to James and Brooke. For all you blog buddies out there, your donation counts. You may think your gift of $5 or $10 doesn’t matter … but if just the readership of this blog and a few other bloggers jumped on board and spread the word about this, and everyone just donated $10.00 … c’mon, that’s less than 2 fraps at Starbucks … we could easily raise several THOUSAND dollars in the next few days! (donate online at www.thebabyjournals.com)

The event isn’t sponsored or endorsed by any specific organization – it really is just some friends coming together to make music and help out some other friends.

Artists include:
Alex Watson
McKendree Tucker
Inside Out Band
Family Life Worship Band
and myself, along with some of my “Worship Under the Stars” friends and some new players, too!

It should be a packed night with some incredible music, worship and fun. Most of all, it’s a way to reach out and help a couple who is trying to fulfill their dream.

Hope to see you there!
Fred
