Over the last nearly three years we've had some great times at The Congregation, no matter where it's been held. If you have some piece of photographic history of this great tradition that we could post on here, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE email us at thecongregation420@yahoo.com or, if it is your preference, email Kirk personally at rockpopepiusxvii@hotmail.com. We'll make sure you get ROYALLY credited for the photos you share with us!! Some ideas:
~ Maybe a pic of Kirk and Micah doing Beatles harmonies!!
~ Or maybe David Giddings and Micah tearing into some classical improv!!
~ Or Kirk and Nick Palmer dropping some Alice in Chains love!!
~ Or Kirk and Second-In-Command Altar'd Girl Jen (Buhrer) Courtney
makin' with the James Taylor!! (::sigh::)
~ Or Jimi Don and Jesse Don rippin' the backside out of some good ol' Texas blues!!
~ Or the mighty mighty Zm7 contingent (formerly DV8) of Chad Clary, Eddie Dunn, Chris Baker and Kevin "Woody" Woodall thundering down the mountain with some of
their signature high-octane, straight-ahead ROCK AND ROLL!!!
~ Or an early Rock Popes performance, before Kirk and Tom E. Gunn found a REAL band, bringing in the Pink Floyd spirit that exists in The Congregation to this day {and don't forget how important Pope Kanab IX, Bill Gaston, AND his hair, became to The Congregation!! BIIIIIIIILLLL!! WE LOVE YOU SO! WE ALWAYS WILL!!} !!!
~ Or Pope Morgan the Fair Child, Chad Morgan, in his pre-Popes infancy, making us FEEL Mazzy Starr {WE MISS YOU CHAD!! SEMPER FI!! YOU MADE US PROUD!! You know that you have a spot in The Congregation Hall of Fame and we want you back VERY SOON for a special guest appearance!! Christmas, maybe??}!!
~ Or Bobby Black, Shreveport's Poet Laureate, stopping us in our tracks with one of his introspective originals that always leaves you wanting even more!!
~ Or Mark Griffith (::averting eyes at the mere mention of the God::), David Deaton, Kenny Dupree and Jason Pucci {of Robbie Krieger's band!! A guy that has played with a Door on The Congregation stage!!} storming the stage when we were in our heyday
down at Zeke's Downtown and blowing every mind for a five-mile radius!!
~ Or any of HUNDREDS of others!!
WOW!!!! JUMPIN' JEEE-HOSE-A-FAT, YEEHAA!!!! WOOOO WOOOOO!!!!
We've been DAMN fortunate to have had so much incredible talent on our stage!!
Dig through your old photos and see if you have anything you can share with us, even if it's not scanned. I'll be happy to scan it and get you back the original copy. Heck, I'll even provide pick-up and delivery!! WE JUST NEED MORE PICS ON HERE!! And the personal touch of having Congregationites submit some new/old ones would be right in the spirit of brother/sisterhood that has made The Congregation so special!! EVERYBODY contributes!!
Can I get a witness (or two) from The Congregation??!! Peace!! |
