KRISTI LEIGH — Shane & Shane have been in the studio lately working on their new album.  I had no idea that Shane B. would sing on his tippy toes this much!  I love it!  (And I know they don’t actually show his toes…it just totally looks like he takes a deep breath and gets up on his toes to sing each phrase!)  It’s also cool to see and hear the before/after kind of thing in this video.  It goes from Shane B. singing his vocal part in the studio and then you hear it mixed in at the sound board!  Enjoy!

KRISTI LEIGH — You know that song “Indescribable?” Well, Laura Story wrote the lyrics for it on a bank deposit slip one day when she was driving. She also started out in music playing piano and the stand up string bass as a ten year old. She’s down-to-earth and funny–and she’s going to be a wonderful part of the National Worship Leaders Conference next week! She did an interview today on the radio– listen to it here. Laura and her husband Martin have worshiped through cancer, too–and that’s a tough thing to do. Check out Laura Story’s Story in this video! (I’ll warn you ahead of time, it’s a bit of a tear jerker!)

KRISTI LEIGH — Looping takes multitasking skills. Add in a couple of kids and a web cam and it’s a whole new challenge–but Evan Wickham is a pro multitasker! Check out this video! (P.S.–I interviewed Evan today on the radio! Listen in on our conversation here.)

KRISTI LEIGH — If you’ve seen any of our videos with Chris And Conrad, then you already that 1.  They’re hilarious!  and 2.  You never ever know what they’ll do next!  Like in this video,  where Chris Kuti demonstrates both aforementioned qualities:

KRISTI LEIGH — Today I interviewed Steven Curtis Chapman; and “interviewed” is kind of a generous way to put it in this case–Steven is so good at being interviewed that all I really had to do is say “hello” and he was on a roll! He’s so personable and shared about his family, the trials, the joys and much more–I give him an A+! Listen to the interview here:

After the interview, I texted my mom to say thanks. What did she have to do with it? A lot, actually. This was my first Steven Curtis Chapman interview and talking with him took me back to the concerts my mom took me to at the Hershey Arena. She got tickets and took me to see DC Talk, Third Day, Newsboys, Audio Adrenaline, Michael W. Smith and Steven Curtis Chapman–and she even stood up front with me in front of the big speakers that made both of our ears hurt! Not because she was into that music, but all because she believed that music was having a huge impact in my life. She was investing in me and my future–and I had no idea back then! And now, I often think back to those concerts and how much they meant to me! So, THANKS MOM!

What about you? What good little things did your parents do with you that encouraged you to be who you are today? Comment below.
