A Great Concert

I am very thankful for music.  What would our lives be without it?  What if you didn't have a song that reminded you of your soul mate? What if there were no hymns in church meetings? What if there were no songs to lull your baby to sleep? What if there were no background songs to your favorite movies?

Wayne and I got tickets to see Collin Ray at the Desert Star theatre.  It is a 200 seat theatre so there were no bad seats, and the sound in the room was as good as it gets.  Collin also said it is his favorite place to perform because it is intimate and there are very few places like it anymore.  He put on an amazing show and has not lost a note in his 20 some years of performing.

This is the man who has topped the charts with such great songs as "On the Verge," "One Boy, One Girl," "What the Heart Wants," "Every Second" and "That Was a River"

"I believe in Providence," says Collin Raye. "I believe there"s a reason things happen the way they do. I also believe that if you"ve treated people right and you continue to work hard at your craft, things will happen. I want to keep going. I want hit records. I want to make music."

Five times nominated as country music"s Male Vocalist of the Year, Collin Raye has consistently used his stardom to advance social causes. Among the organizations he has supported are Boys Town, First Steps, Al-Anon, Special Olympics, Country Cares About AIDS, Catholic Relief Services, Parade of Pennies, Vanderbilt Children"s Hospital, The Tennessee Task Force Against Domestic Violence, The Emily Harrison Foundation, Childhelp USA, Silent Witness National Initiative, Easter Seals and Make a Difference Day. At the 2001 Country Radio Seminar, Clint Black presented Collin Raye with

the organization's Humanitarion of the Year award.
