We had a fabulous Homecoming concert this evening with Phil Cross, Testament, Jamie Thietten, and the phenomenal Homecoming choir directed by the unimitable Gerald Van Order. It featured the debut of Crossing a mixed trio consisting of Phil Cross, his wife Rebecca, and another lady who has been a family friend of the Cross family. They had an outstanding first outing! Their style is the melding of Southern Gospel with vertical praise. Awesome! I will soon be posting a review of their new CD.
We're heading off to 3 more concerts this weekend with Crossing in Wendell, ID; Caldwell, ID; and Baker City, OR. After a week of all-day studio sessions and evening rehearsals my voice is weary. God has been good to me, though. I can at least still sing.
I'll be posting a more in-depth concert review next week. Stay tuned.
By the way, be listening for a new song penned by Doran Ritchey and Phil Cross entitled "I'm His" which will be on our new CD (coming out in September or so). I love the material on our new album already, but I think this song is on a whole other level from everything else.

now tell me, does this so-called Gerald Van Order have gray hair? i am very intrigued with this whole situation so you should probably tell me if it's the same guy.
How awesome for you to have been in a concert with Phil Cross. He has written some beautiful songs!!
As a solo artists, Phil Cross is just okay. When he was with Genesis, he was much better.
"I Can't Dance" is a great song/album.
