This past Saturday Angela and I went down to San Antonio for a Young Adult Conference. They had some great speakers there. It was just a one day deal and they ended it with a concert by Mike Mangione and his band! Mike is an amazing Catholic musician. His songs might not specifically be about Catholic things or God, but he wants people to interpret them as they will. He is an independent artist, so y'all should check him out! We got to meet him after his concert. He is from the Milwaukee/Chicago area and we actually have a friend in common, which is pretty awesome.
He is a pretty short guy, so I was bending down to get the pic (like I do with most short people...) and he goes "stand up straight!" He told me his wife is 6' tall. wowzers. Anyway, you can check him out at his own website and listen to his music on myspace. And you should check out where he's playing at to see him in concert b/c he is amazing live! And I saw by his microphone stand that he had a holy card of Pope John Paul II, a San Damiano crucifix, and another holy card. He knows where his focus is!
