the 3000

i've been in many places with three thousand or more people at once, sometimes it's downright frustrating and others it's an adventure. may fifth two-thousand six, the mexcian holiday "cinco de mayo", interesting to name a holiday by the day. cinco de mayo will always hold a significant place in my fond memories, not because of it's cultural connection to my family rather because of the event i was a part of that day. our spanish ministry team had (and has) been growing by leaps and bounds, we were (and have) getting lots of positive feedback about our worship style and music. we are a unique blend of salsa/merngue/worship and rock, i tend to model my guitar playing after santana, henry garza and stevie ray. of course i am no where near the caliber of the aforementioned. but word had gotten out that we have something good going and much to our delight we were invited to open up for warner bros./word recording artists "salvador". that night was absolutely magical and i will cherish each moment, from our backstage prayer to my onstage solos. three thousand people attended that night and it remains the highest number i've played for to this day, what a night, what a blessing...this is the vintage revival........
