Last
weekend was the KLOVE Fan Awards in Nashville.
For
months, I tried to figure out some way I could rationalize spending money (I
didn’t have) to go to Nashville and see all my favorite music-makers. Over the last 20+ years of listening to Christian music, I feel they are my friends. I wasn’t
able to go, but I did vote for my favorites.
Fortunately,
KLOVE broadcasted live from Nashville, and I was able to listen to some of the
festivities. There was one picture I saw the next day, though, that
particularly caught my eye. It’s located on the Matthew West Facebook fan page:
It’s
Matthew West and Steven Curtis Chapman, together! I just couldn’t believe it.
Those guys have been so instrumental in my Christian life, and there they were.
All
this did was make me relive my dream of moving to the Nashville area after I
become a famous author. My husband, who also writes, and I will hang out in
coffee shops in the Franklin area (where I think my favorite artists like
Francesca Battistelli, Natalie Grant, Matthew West, and Steven Curtis Chapman
hang out). We can get to know them, hang out with them and have dinner, and
maybe, if we’re lucky, we can tell them how much we appreciate their impact in
our lives.
Ah,
life is what dreams are made of!
So,
I’m going to share some of my favorite songs by my favorite artists. You can
click the links and hear them for yourself.
And
maybe, someday, you will see me and my husband sitting in a coffee shop sharing
a meal with Matthew and/or Steven.
It COULD happen!
