Daniel is Travelling Tonight on a Plane

This is very strange. Sitting in a Starbucks in Buffalo, NY.  Waiting for my nephew to fly in from California.  "I'll Fly Away" is playing. It's an old time gospel song.  I remember playing on the same stage as a gospel quartet... gotta be six or seven years ago now. They called us back on the stage to sing it with them for the finale.  I'd never played it, but I stumbled through it okay. Crazy when you try to call back moments like that.  It was late summer.  Somewhere around Paris, Ontario.  Braeside: where there was a Pentecostal Family Camp.  We played several week-long kids' camps in previous summers and were called back to do a singles group.  Yup.  We did children's music and slapstick and we were called back to share the stage with a preacher and a gospel quartet.  Audience: single adults.  We learned pretty early in our musical career to just go with the flow. It's a pretty cool version, this banjo, blue grass...
