When we get the chance, my family attends the Buckhead Church in Atlanta. They have a live rock band that performs two or three songs each week before the sermon. This morning was just as any other except for when they rolled out a keyboard at the end of the sermon, a young woman walked out, sat down and blew us all away with a spiritual song. I had no choice but to walk to the stage afterwards against the traffic of people leaving to tell this woman how amazing she was. As I approached, I was thinking that I had to hear this girl sing again and was racking my brain as to how I could make that happen. When I got to the stage, she bent down to say hello and I said, “Hi, my name is Andy and that was unbelievable”. She said, “I know who you are and thank you for having me on Cayamo”. I immediately kicked myself for not recognizing this woman and then kicked myself a second time for not seeing her perform two weeks ago when I had the perfect chance. I have met her before and been given her CD yet I had not listened to discover how good she was. So thank you Meghan. I am looking forward to seeing you play again soon.
It made me think that there are probably some great stories out there about discovering an artist for the first time when you least expected it. Feel free to share…..
