Yes, another Classic Albums Live season hasĬome to a close, but it certainly concluded in spectacular fashion. The juxtaposition of Led Zeppelin III during the first half of the show with the heavier, more rockin’ material in the second half could not have been more diverse. Tonight’s players included long-time frontman Nick Hildyard on lead vocals, Dom Polito and Shain Honkonen on guitar, Rick Vatour on drums, Jen Benton on bass, Carol Hensal on keyboards, Chad Berney on percussion and Bo Frazer on pedal steel and banjo. These are world-class musicians who will blow your mind. For anyone who has never attended a CAL performance and may be thinking that this is just another cover band, think again. I looked around at all of the familiar faces, saying hello to people with whom I have become acquainted throughout the season, and I realized how lucky Melbourne is to be treated to these shows in our own backyard. Wrapping up with a bang, Craig Martin’s Canadian-based collective was slated to recreate Led Zeppelin III "note for note, cut for cut" to a sold-out house. King Center for the Performing Arts, reveling in the sights and sounds of the last Classic Albums Live performance of the 2013 season. It’s that bittersweet time of the year for me as I find myself back at Melbourne, Florida’s Maxwell C.
Heck, making sound life choices is advantageous to everyone, regardless of which side of the spiritual fence you reside.

It's broken up into three fast-paced sections ( Personal Growth, Relationships and Leadership) and each page (or so) represents one of Grier's popular 60-second radio messages. But I always come away feeling good when I'm inspired and encouraged by the Word of God - especially when I'm hearing from someone else who's inspired and encouraged by the Word of God.Ĭlocking in at under 100 pages, ANOTHER 60 MINUTES OF WISDOM is a quick, concise and easy-to-read life guide. And I certainly wouldn't classify his latest as a mere "feel-good" - although it did make me feel very good. He loves Jesus and clearly also has a heart for worship, service and people. Grier apparently is NOT a "guru." He's a pastor who possesses a passion for God and for the Word of God. Each layer upon beautiful layer of Les Pauls, Telecasters and acoustic guitars still sounded delightfully crisp and delicious - as if I was hearing the record for the very first time. Holy cow, it still stands up - 37 years later. Anything but dated, the songs felt as fresh as ever. In fact, the emotions conveyed through the lyrics of Cronin's "(I Believe) Our Time is Gonna Come" are so timeless, not to mention, honest and vulnerable, they could have been written this morning by any of today's latest and greatest songsmiths. I revisited my slightly scratchy LP version of the record recently via a kickass set of headphones. And despite failing to chart as a single, the kickoff track, Cronin's "Keep Pushin'," remains a much-loved concert favorite and a Classic Rock radio staple.
