Big October Update

2011-10-11T11:40:00.000-07:00

The Matthew Ward concert was amazing. It was the most moving concert that I have ever attended. Lives were changed and people were blessed. I am so proud to have had Matthew be the first concert that I have promoted on my own. Matt is a true man of God. I am a better person for knowing him.
My good friend Sam Scales was the opener for Matthew Ward. She was pumped up to be in Indiana. Her new CD, Eyes On the Road made its debut in Mooresville IN that night.
The CCRPS is growing everyday. We are over 300 members now. I have a few plans up my sleeve for future events.
May 5th of 2012 is going to be a big day! I am putting together the 3rd ever Pethaed convention. I am calling it PC3 Indy! Celebrating 40 years of Petra! It’s the first real Petra fan convention to be held in a hotel. We will have Petra fans from all over coming to Indy to share stories and memorabilia. My good friends Sue Dempster and Ron Braun are helping me put this all together. The voice of Petra, John Schlitt will be headlining with a concert that evening! I will be asking past members of Petra to attend. I have no clue if any of them will show up or not, but it won’t hurt to ask them.
I will have more details for you as we get closer to PC3.
PC3 is going to be held at the Wingate Hotel on the west side of Indy. The Wingate is going to have special rates for PC3 goers. I will be announcing the ticket prices soon for the event soon. Keep checking back here or on the CCRPS page for PC3 updates.

CCRPS Update

2011-07-27T08:06:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone. I thought that I had better check in and give you all a quick update on a few things.
The CCRPS is about to make some very cool changes. I don’t want to say too much about what is going on, but it’s going to be a good move. Let’s just say that it’s time to grow the group.
Don’t forget that the Matthew Ward concert is only two months away. I am very happy to have the Mooresville Church of God on board with me on this event.
The CCRPS has been helping John Schlitt promote his newest project on kickstarter.com. If you would like to help John on his new rock CD you can do so at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/johnwschlitt/john-schlitt-rock-cd-the-greater-cause?ref=live
If you are interested in booking John Schlitt, just drop me a line and I will be happy to help you set that up.
That is all that I have time for right now. Stay tuned for more updates soon!

Quick update

2009-06-24T11:11:00.000-07:00

Hello all, it’s been a while. I have a lot to say, but never enough to say it. We had a great vacation in Georgia with Tom and Carol. June and the kids got to see and play in the Atlantic for the first time. Kevin fell in love with the ocean. Georgia is a beautiful state, but it sure is hot there.
We will be in Illinois June 27 & 28 to do some family stuff. Kevin is going to stay there till July 9th. It will be good for him to get away from mom and dad for a while. July 17, 18 & 19th I will be in Nashville for the summer NAMM Show.
I hope that all is well with everyone. I know that our jackass president is making it hard for a lot of us to live. Lets just all stick together and hang on.
I will blog more soon.
So until then, be good to yourself.
