Hello Krew
I just got home
from a great night of fun, food and fellowship. It was the first Kirk's
Knoxville Krew event. (won't
be the last) A couple of weeks ago, I asked that the
Krew members within driving distance of Knoxville respond with
"KNOXVILLE" in the subject line. Everyone that responded got an invite to a
True Blue Krew pot luck dinner at my office. There
was more food on the conference table than at a Baptist homecoming! It was
truly pot luck! I didn't tell anyone what to bring, it was a surprise! About
80 people filled the conference room at my office and tore into a wonderful
buffet!
Naturally there
was some music too. Crystal River-the most promising quartet to come along in
years, entertained us with several accapella songs. If you haven't heard them,
you are missing out on the beginning of something wonderful! They do an
arrangement of "Higher Ground [I arranged it for them) that's incredible! They
are actually my next door neighbors! Zac, the lead singer, is a pretty good
Rook player! We have won the last few times we have played! Check out their
webpage
www.crystalriveronline.net and sign up for their newsletter. Donny
Singleton brought his guitar and was a Krew blessing as he sang from his heart,
"All my ex's live in Texas." Believe it or not, the audience sang along! I am
not sure it was considered worship, but it was fun. I even previewed a couple
new songs that I will be recording at the
live recording May 28 and 29th in Smyrna Tenn. at River of Life
Church.
There
was lots of door prizes, Dot Shultz gave away tickets
to the
May 7th concert in Maryville, TN, featuring me and the Talley Trio.

Dusty Wells, a
big dog with Word Records brought some CD's to give away. He has been a Krew
member for a long time and I really do appreciate him for his encouragement.
Nora Robinson (manager of a Mcdonalds) brought some Mickey D coupons to give
away. I even gave coupons for discounts on oil changes and stuff from Auto Lube
Express.
You might
wonder what this meeting was all about. Well, it wasn't about anything really,
I just wanted to meet members of the Krew (people that have signed up for my
email newsletter from the Knoxville area) And it was
great fun! David Hayes, my landlord at the office allowed me to use the
conference room at David's Abbey Carpet and it was just the right place!
There are
pictures on the webpage

KY WEEKEND
I didn't do a
recap of last weekend since I did a tribute to George Younce, so I wanted to
tell you that I had two wonderful services in KY last weekend. Sunday morning I
was in Wurtland, KY and the service was so sweet. At the end, the altars were
full. God really moved in that service. Praise the Lord. Sunday night, I
visited First Baptist Church in Cold Spring, KY and had another great service!
Of course, I found a Skyline Chili and had my regular inverted three
way, dried, with two cheese coneys. If you don't
know what that means, It's Cincinnati style chili,
spaghetti, chili, cheese, built backwards and then dried. You have to
experience it to understand it!
ERIE REPEAT!!!
Since Erie PA
experienced a blizzard (not the Dairy Queen kind) the weekend I was scheduled
there, many people couldn't make the services. Actually I heard from several
Kirk's Krew members that got stranded in the snow storm and sat on the
interstate for hours. GOOD NEWS, I am coming back to Erie on July 17th for
an am and pm service. If it snows then, I will start traveling in a bull
dozer anytime I am north of the Mason Dixon line!
Tomorrow I will
be in Jackson, AL for a Sunday Morning service. If you are in the lower part of
AL, check the info out on my
schedule
www.kirktalley.com and come be with me.
I am looking
forward to being in Gadsden AL on the 21st at the Choice Cafeteria again. Come
eat with me and hear some good singin! Contact
Gpat1@aol.com for tickets and info.
Also, don't
forget the
LIVE RECORDING on Memorial Day Weekend in Smyrna, TN. (info
on webpage) I was down there Wednesday night of this week rehearsing with the
choir, and I am sooooooooooo excited! The choir is great and they really make
the songs come alive! I can't wait!
All the KREW
buttons went out yesterday so for the ones that ordered, you should have them in
a few days! WEAR THEM TO EVERY CONCERT YOU GO TO! Response was so good, I have
to reorder already! THANK YOU.
Well, it's
almost 2 am and I have to get a few hours of sleep! Thank you all so much for
reading all this! Someday I will try to do a short update! At least no one
that I know wrecked this week!
God Bless You
All
