A Dream Come True
Most of you know that we are huge fans of gospel music, growing up seeing groups like Gold City, The Cathedrals, The Goodmans, The Bishops, The Singing Americans, and many many more. There was also another group that we got to see from time to time that we really liked, The Trailblazers Quartet.
Our uncle, Ray Faulknor, is one of my biggest influences and sang bass for many years with The Trailblazers. In 1989, right after we moved to Georgia, they recorded a live video at The Tivoli Theater. I can remember so many things about that night and one thing that I can vividly remember as a 9 year old boy sitting there in that theater was I knew that I wanted to sing gospel music, and it has always been a dream of mine to get the opportunity to sing on that same stage.
There have been several experiences that have been dreams come true for me, like for instance getting to share the stage with people like Clayton Inman, Mark Bishop, The Booth Brothers, and Brian Free. Getting to sing at NQC (even though we haven’t made the big stage yet) or signing a recording contract with a company like Crossroads. I’ve had many dreams realized for me and this week I will get to add another.
This coming Saturday night, August 14th @ 7p.m., we are opening a concert for The Collingsworth Family at The Tivoli Theater. Finally I will get to sing in the room where my original dream was planted. Needless to say I’m very excited! Psalms 37:4 says to “delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart”. I must be doing something right because He has been so good to me, of course I know He loves us all the same. Hope to see you there!!
We do still have tickets available for this concert; contact@voiceswon.com
Great News!!! Thanks for letting me know.
You know, I think I have that project! I didn’t know your uncle was with them!
Oh yeah I love that project. Ray is also Marcus Faulknor’s dad that sings with Cross 4 Crowns.
I am so proud to be coming to see you guys tonight at the Tivoli and even more so now. May God continue to bless you guys. Stay in His work and His leadership and He will continue to bless as He already has.
I used to have the VHS video of The Trailblazers
” Live At The Tivoli” If you know as to where I can purchase another copy ” PLEASE!” let me know; my first video was defective and I never had the chance to get it replaced.
Sure don’t Steve…sorry. You can find a lot of the clips on youtube now.
God Bless
