Yo, Dan'l!
[snip]
It may be of interest that Rich is again nominated in several categories
at the Doves. "We Are Not As Strong" and "Sing Your Praise" (from
SONGS) have been nominated for both Song of the Year and Pop
Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year. Rich has been nominated for
Male Vocalist and Artist of the Year. (I was disappointed he didn't
make the nomination for Songwriter of the Year...)
[snip]
Not to leave Rich out, we saw him several times, too. Incidentally, in
all the stuff the GMA sent out before the event, his name wasn't
mentioned. So when he was on stage as part of the Sunday night service
at the Ryman, I was surprised ("Awesome God"?) He seemed sort of
embarrassed at the sustained applause he received. Later that evening
he performed at the Songwriter's Showcase (attended by those of us in
the "songwriter track".) He did "If I Stand," and prefaced it with the
bit about if he has to tell you why he wrote a song, it must not be a
very good song (but I think maybe he just gets tired of having to tell
everyone.)

Incidentally, I spoke to some of the Third Day guys in October and they
reminded me that some folks are putting together a tribute album to
Rich, of which they are doing a track. I remembered reading something
about the project in CCM (I think) but going through back issues I
couldn't find anything. Do you have any info?
No I can't say I have heard about that. Anyone?

Did all the "special release" BROTHERS KEEPER cd's get sold, or are there some left to be had? (see [RichMailList 14])
I'm sure there aren't any left through normal retail channels, although I'm sure a true collector could probably could find one. There were about a thousand pressed.
--Danl
If there is any more news about how to obtain a copy of the CANTICLE project, please pass it along (I have this phobia that Rich's latest "farewell tour" will somehow miss Houston...)
I will certainly pass that info along. At this point, they're still negotiating distribution, but I'm sure it will make the normal retail channels (beyond the concert sales).

Well, that's about all--thanks for being there! luv, Sandy
