Praise the Lord and Pass the Trumpet

On the weekend following the 4th celebrations, Dixie, our valued and beloved one-day sag driver, oh yes, and my lovely wife, and Rick, and I slid into the third pew from the front for Sunday worship at Blackfoot Community Church in Ovando, Montana.

For the second straight Sunday we were privy to a summer worship schedule that included a special musical group.  This Lord's day featured a family combo--five daughters all dressed in western skirts and white blouses, mom and dad, and a son, whose wife and two kids made cameo appearances.  We hooted and hollered through country, gospel, western, bluehgrass, and praise.

I have to tell you that before the church got locked up for another week, the Balyeat Family had added two more members--a flugalhorn player and a jazzy Dixie-landed gal!

  1. What a fun family of musicians! We stayed on after the service/concert and jammed. The bass player is a quick learner and the mom, Nancy, has quite the blues voice. Fun!

  2. Nancy, the mother of the group called me today to offer you room and board this week if you pass by Great Falls. I was sorry to tell her that you weren't going that way. What a lovely gesture!
