Keith & Kristyn Getty talk about "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty"

Makes you just wanna get there already eh?

I've always thought of this hymn as the universal Song of heaven

 - shows up in Isaiah and again in Revelation.  

Around that throne - myriad in number.   

Casting down our golden crowns around the glassy sea.  

Whoa.  

Makes my skin prickle. 

Makes me cry.
*again*

Getty Newsflash!

Keith & Kristyn posted an announcement on Facebook this morning.

"Instead of a Christmas Tour 

we'll be enjoying a very special Christmas present!"

And this is why we are the only Canadian Concert on the Fall Tour.

A pretty unique place of favour I'd say and 

a great motivator to present our very best!

Congratulations Keith & Kristyn and daughter Eliza.

Health, strength & summer breezes be yours 

as you rest up for the Fall Tour.

Shout Out for Top notch Rehearsal Trackers!

I want to thank nine wonderbar Getty-ites for taking time out of their busy schedules to spend an hour and a half in my music room tonight, 

laying down tracks for North Winds and the segue into 

Christ is Risen, He is Risen Indeed.  

Without their sacrifice, these rehearsal tracks remain a pipe dream for us.  

So to Pete & Peter (Peter is brand new and oh so good at this!) on bass, Bryan & Taylor on tenor, Jess, Wendy & Michelle on soprano, Sonya on alto (putting up with me as sidekick) and Lilly on iPad --- you have my sincere gratitude for making this possible.  

After that strenuous workout, Lilly uploaded them lickety-split and voila!  

Done.  

In one fell swoop.  

You guys totally rock.

Sleep sweet y'll and see you on Monday night at 7:30.

p.s. still looking for a guy to plunk notes with the men for the first bit of the rehearsal on Monday. 

*Yawn*

Goodnight. 

Voila! with thanks to Lilly

I have this friend.
She's super computer savvy.
She's got these gifts I have not.
i.e. a tenacity for figuring stuff out on her own and fiddling with stuff for HOURS until it's conquered. Fortunately for me, (for all of us really) she came to our rehearsal last Wednesday and sat up high in the church balcony recording bits of it on her iPad. Afterwards, we listened to the tracks.
Happy eeEEKK!
My first thought was that YOU need to hear this yourselves. It is only right that you should benefit from hearing these humble (yet beauteous) beginnings! Our minds started a-whirling about the possibilities. One idea led to another and then all of a sudden:
Voilà! A blog is born.
I went to bed WAY too late that night but also thrilled and encouraged as I think you might be with the end result. Anyway. Thanks Lilly.
This is simply another moment of many where I've experienced His Hand at work in our Getty Adventure.
