Wynonna Concert

Well, I went to see Wynonna in concert in Longwood, Florida this past Friday night. The venue was a large church called Northland. It was nice. Had a bookstore, cafe, and probably held a few thousand people.
The show started with William P. Young (author of The Shack) promoting his book, and his meeting the next morning. He then introduced Richie McDonald (formerly of Lonestar). Richie came out and played piano and sang. Wow! He is so talented. At one point he played guitar, but for the most part it was a piano gig. He sang this one song, Hey God that was very touching. I loved his voice.
Wynonna put on one incredible show. She not only has a powerful, pure voice, she's very personable. She interacted well with the audience. During the course of the evening several people went to the stage and gave her flowers and such. She was very receptive. When she started to sing I Can Only Imagine she started to tear up. She had the backup girl sing part of the song. Wynonna spoke freely about her relationship with God. I think that many of the band are people who used to play with Morningstar. I know Don Potter and Mike Maple did.
The evening was great...glad I got to see her live. I had a good time.
