The Primitive Quartet is a group I was not very familiar with before this concert. I thought their music was very good and they have a lot of great talent representing them. I was really touched by what the lead singer spoke about, "getting lost before you can get found." Thanks a lot.

The Kingsmen I was very familiar with before the show. They've been around almost twice as long as I've been alive. Almost. They were very entertaining and hilarious. I don't think I quit smiling the whole time they performed.

Now can you remember those hymn's they requested???
This guy played a medley of hymns on the piano after the audience requested
a few. He was very very talented.

He's ready to go (and looks excited about it too!)

This
group was new to me. I had never heard of them before this show but I'm sure
I'll hear more from them after. The song "Too Late" was just too
great and the little guy on the end playing the mandolin was awesome! He sure
could play that mandolin!
