Yesterday was the first day in the FCMA workshop weekend. The workshop is a fun event where LDS Musicians gather, have panels, network, schmooze, and generally have a great time. I've been every year for the last five or six. Always fun for all.
There was a special treat yesterday. Chance Thomas got to speak. I met Chance when Jodi and I were first married. We'd just moved into this ward, and Chance was there, and we were kinda drawn together as musician types seem to be. We quickly became fast friends.
He introduced me to Jim Anglesey and Clive Romney and the SLC studio scene, and gave me lots of encouragement and indirect instruction. What a guy.
So, I haven't seen him in some 12 years, and it was a thrill to give him a hug and a CD.
Then afterward, I stopped by Lindy Kirby's home for our annual Pre-Workshop LDSM party. Got to see Steve Brown again there, and surprised him by knowing both the chords and the harmonies to "Who Am I?", one of his songs. Julie Keyser and a few others were also there. Got to hear some new songs, hang out, have fun.
So, now it's time to get showered and ready for the real workshop. I'll probably report on that more over at MoBoy...
