(The Life I Love Is) Makin' Music With My Friends

After ten days on the road with the Wesley Singers, I've returned to Blacksburg and the real world. And quite frankly, I could go for another round if I got a couple days worth of sleep and recharging in my own bed here. I'll echo what Gerritt said earlier today in his journal that this was a very stress-free, fun-filled Tour experience. Probably the easiest and most fun in all my four years here, actually. It's amazing how much a bunch of good attitudes can accomplish and how easily everyone got along! I watched as the Wesley family was extended and my concerns for several people being able to fit in were erased. I had a great time, I got to know everyone better, and I just want to send out a huge thank-you to everyone involved.

Tour always changes me for the better, whether it's through meeting a great host family (and I did stay with some really nice folks this time around), the sheer joy of sharing the music we perform with people, or building new friendships. This year delivered all of that and more, and it leaves me knowing that the future of Wesley will be in good hands. Thanks again, guys, and here's to a fantastic Spring semester and our last few performances!

Here's a nice listing of Tour quotes courtesy of Paakow, and don't forget to check out Gerritt's writeup to get his take on the week. I'll link the Tour Journals when they get online, and when we figure out what we're doing with the collected pictures, I'll let you know.
