JUL 26 - HALE, MI - Shenandoah at the Iosco County Fair

We headed out of Nashville for our long trip to Hale, Michigan around 10 o'clock with just the band onboard..no extras. It was a good 14 hour drive.

We arrived the next day to find great temperatures and low humidity. We like that.

We sound checked that afternoon and I stayed on the bus till he show. Shenandoah did a 75 min show to an almost sold out crowd and had a blast.

After the show, in the autograph line.. a young lady talked to Mike Folsom and myself about how much Jimmy Yeary's delivery of the song, "You Never Know" touched her and gave her new hope. The song was penned by Jimmy Yeary, Mike McGuire and Billy Ryan. She was telling us how life had really taken a turn for the worse for her..losing jobs, deaths in the family, thoughts of suicide, depression..etc I was really moved knowing we played a part in changing her life that night. You never know who God is gonna put in that autograph line. It reminded me that we are ministering to folks up there on that stage and have been given a gift by God. I am thankful to serve him in that way.

The bus was loaded and we headed back to Nashville, Tn

Another country music adventure had been had..once again by many.

Down the Road...Stan Munsey
