JOYFUL NOISE

Sometimes, you anticipate a long, uncomfortable, thankless, hurry-up-and-wait, feeling-like-a-cow-in-a-herd-of-cattle, wish-I'd-dressed-at-home-or-stayed-at-home kind of day when participating in certain musical events. There's rudeness and snark and disorganization, and an unnecessary competitive spirit that reeks. There's an air of superiority and authority given by people who have no cause at all to be grand. It all makes you want to turn on your heels and go home.  Not today. NOT TODAY! There was such a pleasant, family- type atmosphere at BET studios! 

I was particularly impressed by the non-musical staff of "Joyful Noise", the new inspirational program airing in October. The staff and crew were patient, steady, accommodating, friendly, organized, gracious, and very helpful. From the security and parking staff, to the smooth check-in at the front desk, to the caterer (the chicken!), volunteers, make up artists, wardrobe assistants, technicians, directors, cameramen, audience coordinators...and the millions of bags of Cheetos, it was such a lovely experience...and it's always nice to hang with my Vision family. I do believe that's the first time we've sung "Hebrews 11 since the "Anthology" recording.

 

Godspeed Tye Tribbett, you make a delightful host. Great job Kobe King, you've certainly paid your dues. Thank you, Jason Cross for looking out for all of us!
