Mark Hall and his band Casting Crowns netted 11 nominations. Back in the day, when Mark wasn’t crazy busy, we used to write songs together, hang out, play golf. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
We’re back from Nashville and I’m recovering from what turned out to be infection in my chest, throat, and sinuses; got three shots in the keister this morning. But our last day in Nashville was fun. Saw Atlantans Mox, Walker, Brad Long, the Fee guys, and many other friends yesterday. Also had various meetings on behalf of ONE Atlanta that went really well. I leave you with video of a song from the album for which Dan has been nominated. This performance is actually from last year’s GMA convention. Notice Dan playing his white Gretsch hollow body and singing BGVs.
If I’m leaving any nominated Atlantans out, someone please let me know.
