Nancy and Ben – I wanted to take a moment and say thank you for the wonderful seats we had for the show last night at The Paramount.  If you remember, I had brought my wife along with several students from the ESL class I teach at the Senior Community Center in Belmont.  They were blown away and had never experienced anything “interfaith” or “gospel”.

My wife was familiar with Bishop Yvette Flunder as she is a member of the UCC in San Mateo and is very close with Penny Nixon who is their minister.  Ms. Flunder has been a guest several times in San Mateo but my wife had never heard her sing.  Wow, what pipes!

As for me, I grew up just outside Chicago in Skokie, which at the time was a predominantly white and Jewish neighborhood.  Each Sunday I would watch TV waiting for football to start.  An early riser, I was bored with the cartoons and fell in love with a show called Jubilee Showcase.  Looking back now, this show helped shape my love of gospel, jazz, soul and the blues.  If you are not familiar with this show, take a moment to check it out:

After reading the article I now see so many connections.  Lucky for me to have these experiences so young.

I thoroughly enjoyed the show last night and wish I could have had a chance to thank you both in person.  Please keep me on any email list you may keep for future shows and you can count on seeing me again in the future! - dk
