for King & Country

I’ve got a good floor seat for the for King & Country / Zach Williams concert in Estero Florida 12 days before Christmas. On the floor you’re pretty much expected to stand at your seat, and sing and dance to the music, and I’m looking forward to doing just that. Since I bought a ticket to their show I get a free physical copy of their album “Burn The Ships” mailed to me. It doesn’t even get released until Friday October 05TH, but I should have my copy of it before then. It includes their former U.S. # 1 smash (on Christian radio) “joy”. This album could encourage me to like their music more. That’ll get me ready for their LIVE show in 3 months.

Fun Fact:  Joel Smallbone (one-half of for King & Country) and I share a birthday – June 05TH !  He was born on my 17TH birthday. #Gemini

The weekend is just getting started here on “Saturday Night Retro”. Tomorrow night I’m going #Retro – back to 2008.

On my calendar for Thursday December 13TH over in the Fort Myers Florida area is “Little Drummer Boy: The Christmas Tour” with for King & Country featuring Zach Williams. I gotta admit. I’m not that big of a fan of for King & Country music. You have not yet seen their current U.S. # 1 smash “Joy” here on my chart. I just don’t care for it musically. Nevertheless I bet they put on a wonderful LIVE show, and I want to see it. Zach Williams has already proved himself to me. I saw him last Christmas as part of a Christmas-themed music tour. He was awesome.

This concludes my 4 blogs this weekend. I’ll be back next weekend with all-new blogs on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest. Your likes, follows, and comments are always appreciated. Thank You for being part of my online ministry to win souls for Christ. Enjoy this week. And remember to choose JOY !  Let it move you. Let it move you. Let it move you.

The Major’s Top 5 Hits RETRO – 1988

Every Friday night I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference from either 10, 20, or 30 years ago (rotating each week). Here it is – for the week ending Sunday September 11TH 1988:

  1. “Baby I Love Your Way / Freebird” – Will To Power
  2. “When It’s Love” – Van Halen
  3. “Perfect World” – Huey Lewis And The News
  4. “The Locomotion” – Kylie Minogue
  5. “Got To Be Certain” – Kylie Minogue

It’s fun to look back at my weekly hit music charts from all of those years ago. Back before personal computers, smart phones, and social media we had paper, pen, and pencil. That’s how I used to create, compile, and record my charts. I managed to preserve those paper charts pretty nicely over the past 30 years via durable 3-ring notebooks.

Check this out:

There it is – the original Top 10 of my Top 40 via paper, pen, and pencil. Menudo. LOL. You like my sense of humor up there ?  “NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK VERSION”. Incidentally my handwriting has deteriorated over the past 30 years. I wish I wrote that nicely today. At least I can type from 75 to 100 WPM.

It’s halftime. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with my remaining two blogs for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Make memories of a lifetime, and protect them so that you can reflect back on them 30 years from now !

The Major’s Top 10 Hits – Summer Of 2018

15 weekly hit music charts and 24 positive and encouraging hits have created this cumulative hit music chart of my Top 10 hits of the Summer Of 2018 based on personal preference. Here it is – from Memorial Day Weekend (last Sunday of May) to Labor Day Weekend (first Sunday of September):

  1. “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship
  2. “Grace Got You” – MercyMe
  3. “Dream Small ” – Josh Wilson

Years from now when I look back at this chart I’ll remember the good times that I enjoyed during these 100 days of summer. This was the soundtrack of my summer.

If you’re not familiar with one or any of these songs then use Google or YouTube to check them out. Enjoy the music, but listen to the words. The words of these songs represent God’s Word. Any one of these songs can change your life forever. God used music to rescue and save me from the darkness during the Summer Of 2006.

This concludes my 5 blogs this weekend. It’s back to 4 blogs next weekend with all-new blogs on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest. Your likes, follows, and comments are always appreciated. Thank You for being part of my online ministry to win souls for Christ. Enjoy this week. Share God’s Good News – and His music – with anyone who will listen.
