i just returned from atlanta and a festival of homeletics-- it was a conference of pastors, with guest pastors & workshops & a component this year was of singer/songwriters and our music-- one presentation was singing a song, the audience had a lyric on a giant screen and 4 panelists had a lyric, and when the song was done each theologian expert on the panel would comment on the spiritual, christian, theology & bible basis for the song----- it was NOT like american idle-- it was wonderful to have the songs commented on by theologians before an audience of...theologians--- ( i did LAZARUS DIES AGAIN & I NEVER HAD A SISTER )

also, at the first song gathering, we were honored to have archbishop desmond tutu in our audience & i got to meet him afterwards--- by the way, he LOVED the song: "family tree"--- the other writers were, beth nielsen chapman & adrienne young

and now i am making coffee for a weekend of travels w/ bryn davies-vx & bass and casey driessen- fiddle & me--- that should be a mighty trio--- there is a really good chance that my dad, wayne scott, will be singing a few at big stone gap----

what a wild & diverse trip i am on...darrell
