Last Saturday a nice-sized crowd relaxed under the welcome shade trees in Bayliss Park in downtown Council Bluffs. Larry Shanno and all the Glory Road folks had organized an afternoon of gospel singing featuring Council Bluffs area groups. The weather was beautiful and the park fountain showered an occasional misty breeze across the stage. Most folks were there all afternoon listening to styles ranging from southern gospel, traditional and old-time/bluegrass. Three of Tesco Productions’ client groups were there – Father’s Voice, This Side of Sunday and Glory Road.
One of my projects the past several weeks was rebuilding portions of a mixing console and it was put to good use Saturday. I hung around and helped with stage transitions between groups and did some mixing for This Side of Sunday. Thank you to all the musicians who participated, those who came to listen, and a big hats off to Glory Road for all the time and effort necessary to make this available to the Council Bluffs community. Larry Shanno reminded the park attendees that this annual event is planned again for the last Saturday in August 2012.
