Yes Hugh, it was wonderful… absolutely awesome! If you’d
been there Saturday night you would have left crying as we all did. The
Ambassadors were doing their thing and Jim Henry invited the Heart of America
to join them on stage in honor of Jim Bagby. Imagine that! Close to 300 singers
on stage… then he invited everyone who had ever sung with the HOA on
stage. Then he invited Jim Bagby to direct them. Jim, who was already crying by
this time, tried valiantly but couldn’t do it because he (as we all were)
was so emotionally touched and the grand finale… he invited everyone in
the audience to sing! There must have been close to 2,000 singers! It brings
tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat just telling you about it! I simply
don’t have words to describe what I felt and heard.
I’m ready to go to the next one!
Charles
