Byron, Northview, Rockford, MSU, Harvey Mason

It was a full day of families, swing, and fellowship. It was good to be back with my Byron family. After covid, things changed for a minute obviously, but I remember people didn't know how to fellowship. Things are back to normal. The thing that stood out to me was how many kids came up and said hi to me and some I didn't even know. Again, that is all part of the amazing instruction and model set by the staff. Then I headed over to Northview for the annual MSU, Rockford, Northview side by side concert. 3 dear families and while I don't know too many kids left at MSU and Northview, it was nice meeting some new faces. One face that wasn't new and matter of fact I have known her almost since she was a baby and that is Professor Whitaker'd daughter Sarah. I was looking for a picture I have of her that she remembers as a little kid but I couldn't find it at the moment. She sounded amazing both on vocals and drums and is always so nice to me. I'm so happy that Cullen McCarthy at Rockford has the confidence in me to keep bringing me in almost every week. He is a dear brother to me and love him much. So many others, but it was also so good to see and hear a dear brother the great Harvey Mason again. We had a wonderful tour when I worked at MSU and we have stayed in touch ever since. He was kind enough to do a quick interview with me for an upcoming podcast. Stay tuned! I left a little early and God got me up to Frankenmuth to do 1981 Central Park Simon and Garfunkel tribute show all week!
