Growing up church of Christ


I know all you c of c kids can relate, the rest of you, I appoligize for the craziness.


In the giant list of to dos for Russia I have "download more Accappella to Ipod" and in the quest to mark another item off my list I asked my friends of they had the cds and surprisingly no one did. Who'd a thought sweet fellowship and traveling shoes would ever not be all good c of c people's fingertips, but alas its shifted back to somewhere on the mental list of stuff to do.


Sunday night I was hanging out with some friends at Angela's house and the phone rings. When Angela returns she tells us her friend Don was coming over and so we naturally asked who is was and if we knew him. In his list of credentials.... Cary's roommate, blondish red hair, goes to Oldham Lane, she slips in ohh and he use to sing for Accappella. I flipped around and asked for more details. She said best not to ask him about it and he was walking in the door before I could ask why.


I sat in the floor at Angela's apartment in awe as DON from Accappella walked in! Oh my goodness he's like a Church of Christ celebrity. I have seen him in concert a few times. I am pretty sure he's on the Beyond a Doubt Cd... again if i had it I would get it out and look for sure. I was in AWE! Don't worry I played it cool... no one else seemed as star struck as I. Maybe it was becuase I am a little younger than my friends or that it was a big highlight in my childhood to get to go to an Accappella concert and that was the main thing we listened to as kids and in to my teenage years. Now, here's the troubling thing. I think Don from Accappella is my age. But the Accappella guys are you know adults and bordering on old. He must have started with Accapella at age 12 or something casue I am still young. Or maybe he just looks like he's my age but he really isn't.


By the way, I still havn't asked him if he has the cds. But you know, I might see if we could maybe record him singing. I could have a rare "Accappella Unplugged" on my Ipod. Man, I could really make John, Brandon, AJ, Andrew and Aaron green with envy.
