A great concert by Amy Grant last night at Hoover Auditorium in Lakeside. Except for a few of her Christian favorites popular early in her career, it was a secular concert for some very loyal fans. Can't believe she's 52. She must work out. She has great rapport with her audience and seemed to genuinely enjoy Lakeside. We were packed in cheek to jowl, and the doors opened at 7:30 (for 8:15 concert).
Lakeside Foundation had a dinner last night where we were updated on last year's projects (splash park and memorial garden) and the upcoming plans for the lakefront. $688,000 was raised in 2012, and the goal now is $700,000. We sat with 3 other couples, married in 1950, 1957, and 1960. Among us we had 222 years of marriage. I thought that might be a record, but looked over at the next table and I'm sure they were over 240.

2/3 of the tunes were absolutely Christian tunes. It's arguable 1/3 are secular. You must have a very high bar in order to qualify as a non-secular concert. Yes, AG's fans are certainly very loyal. You got that right!
Except for her most popular, I'm not familiar with the words, and perhaps I didn't understand them. I've thought of her as "cross-over" for years.
Sounds like a great time. I didn't know she was still doing many concerts.
