Those are some good bands. I know that Jars of Clay started Blood Water Mission (a parter with ONE) and Third Day is a great group of guys. It’s awesome that all of them have teamed up with ONE!

Excellent Bands! Robert Randolph and the Family Band has a great song they use on the Discovery Channel. It was originally used in Stomp The Yard, “Ain’t Nothin’ Wrong With That”. Check it out!

Went to the 2nd stop on the Music Builds Tour in Indianapolis last night. For those wondering, this is not to be missed. Not one act was worth missing. Jars of Clay was great to hear again and see they are still at it. Robert Randolph and the Family Band!! WOW!! So great that Mac Powell and Ty Anderson of Third Day stayed out at stage left for their entire act to watch with all of us. The talent and moving feeling they brought was unbelievable. Switchfoot, great job as well for the hard core rockers. And Third Day, what can you say, they may be the greatest Christian Rock band to ever grace the stage. The only disappointment is that in the 5 hours of the show, there is just not enough time to hear every song you’d like too. Lastly, what a wonderful blend of age, gener, and race at the event - what a diverse crowd, all for “ONE” cause!
