Mark Lee, guitarist for Third Day, has come up with a cute idea on his blog. We are going to start blogging about Third Day on the 3rd Day of the month.  Cute, huh?

So, I guess I'll blog about the 1st (and only at this point) time I saw Third Day.  I have cell phone video of it, but it's pretty much worthless.  It was the day before Easter at the Nascar Nationwide series just outside of Nashville.  Now, anyone who knows me knows I'm a diehard Nascar Cup and Bush Nationwide series fan (Go Carl!).  I hadn't planned on attending the race until I heard Third Day was going to play before the race.  I finally talked my hubby into going (likes racing, but no where near to the extent that I do). When I told him that a Christian band was playing before the race, he was less than pleased (we do not have the same tastes in music by any means, unless you consider '80's hair bands). He knew how much it meant to me though so he agreed...what a guy! I have to say I was SO impressed with the band.  It's very rare to hear a band live and have them sound close to what they sound like in the studio (my opinion). Let me just say that they sounded amazing! The biggest surprise is...my hubby was very impressed with them. He really likes Mac's voice.  I forgot who he said he reminded him of, but it was a good thing :). He was impressed enough with them that he agreed to buy our 9 year old and I tickets to the Music Builds show in September.  It will be her very first concert and we have outstanding seats!!! Their new album, Revelation, drops July 29th (they'll be on Leno that night too). However, if you pre-order their album now (look over in the left column for information) you'll get access to the entire album via streaming audio. In all honesty, I think it's their best album to date!
