Dennis Drumming at HyperSpeed
We had a great time performing at the Young Single Adult dance in West Valley City, Utah. It was nice to have Leanna back playing bass beside Calvin. The energy was crazy, especially when the singles group got on the dance floor to do the slap dance. There was a contest going on to see who could dance to the fastest beat so Dennis, our drummer, took it into hyper speed. Some of the dancers even caught some air performing the heal click of the Boot Scootin Boogie. Even the lasso's were flying during the Regea Cowboy line dance.
Some of the more senior leaders (we're trying to be politically correct) asked for some old time Rock and Roll so we belted out some Doobie Brothers, BTO, Bad Company and Steve Miller. The Rock and Roll came out easily thanks to the talent of our awesome backup singer Gary who stepped in at the last minute when Tony couldn't make it. I think that Gary must know every #1 song from the sixties and seventies.
Chad, our rhythm guitar player, usually avoids the microphone but tonight we got him to sing and play an original song he co-wrote called "A Perfect Love Song". He did great.
I was surprised at how many showed up even with the extreme fog and bad weather. All in all it was a good night.
Our thanks goes out to Kelsey, Tim and Brenda for lining us up. We hope to be back again.
