Christmastime is Here!

Hello Phantastic Phriends! (My spell check just had a fit with that.)



 
Now that we are back home and getting rested, I wanted to take a moment and thank all of you for making this year's Christmas tour incredible.  We had amazing crowds everywhere we went and the Spirit was definitely in it all!  It was so good to see many of your familiar and friendly faces out there supporting us.  That in itself is a pretty special gift to us.


 
The band was incredible--as always.  Each one of them holds their own in a world-class way.  I especially enjoyed my sister, Kari, on piccolo trumpet this year.  It added so much!  Even I didn't realize how much I would enjoy listening to her play every night.  We worked before the tour on music and I wrote some new parts for her on The Singer, Hark! The Herald and Hallelujah!  I have to admit on the first night of the tour I was listening to her so intently that I sang a few notes I hadn't planned on.  We have a close group and we laugh a lot.  And I hope that comes across on stage, too.


 
The Gaither Vocal Band dates were amazing as well.  I especially remember Huntington, WV.  It was a very sweet night.  Everyone seemed to be at the top of their game and emotions were running high on that last night of the Christmas tour.


 
Well, anyway, I wanted to leave you with a little gift this Christmas.  My Dad sent this to me and my whole family has laughed till we hurt over them.  You may have seen this already, but it's worth repeating.


 
May each of you have a blessed Christmas filled with the peace of God!

Church Ladies With Typewriters.....


They're Back! Those wonderful Church Bulletins! Thank God for church ladies with typewriters. These sentences (with all the BLOOPERS) actually appeared in church bulletins or were announced in church services: 

The Fasting & Prayer Conference includes meals. 
-------------------------- 
The sermon this morning: 'Jesus Walks on the Water.' The sermon tonight: 'Searching for Jesus.'
-------------------------- 
Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Bring your husbands. 
-------------------------- 
Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our community. Smile at someone who is hard to love. Say 'Hell' to someone who doesn't care much about you. 
-------------------------- 
Don't let worry kill you off - let the Church help. 
-------------------------- 
Miss Charlene Mason sang 'I will not pass this way again,' giving obvious pleasure to the congregation. 
-------------------------- 
For those of you who have children and don't know it, we have a nursery downstairs. 
-------------------------- 
Next Thursday there will be tryouts for the choir. They need all the help they can get. 
-------------------------- 
Irving Benson and Jessie Carter were married on October 24 in the church. So ends a friendship that began in their school days. 
-------------------------- 
A bean supper will be held on Tuesday evening in the church hall. Music will follow.. 
-------------------------- 
At the evening service tonight, the sermon topic will be 'What Is Hell?' Come early and listen to our choir practice. 
-------------------------- 
Eight new choir robes are currently needed due to the addition of several new members and to the deterioration of some older ones. 
-------------------------- 
Scouts are saving aluminum cans, bottles and other items to be recycled. Proceeds will be used to cripple children. 
-------------------------- 
Please place your donation in the envelope along with the deceased person you want remembered.. 
-------------------------- 
The church will host an evening of fine dining, super entertainment and gracious hostility. 
-------------------------- 
Potluck supper Sunday at 5:00 PM - prayer and medication to follow. 
-------------------------- 
The ladies of the Church have cast off clothing of every kind. They may be seen in the basement on Friday afternoon.

This evening at 7 PM there will be a hymn singing in the park across from the Church. Bring a blanket and come prepared to sin. 
-------------------------- 
Ladies Bible Study will be held Thursday morning at 10 AM . All ladies are invited to lunch in the Fellowship Hall after the B. S. Is done. 
-------------------------- 
The pastor would appreciate it if the ladies of the Congregation would lend him their electric girdles for the pancake breakfast next Sunday. 
-------------------------- 
Low Self Esteem Support Group will meet Thursday at 7 PM . Please use the back door. 
-------------------------- 
The eighth-graders will be presenting Shakespeare's Hamlet in the Church basement Friday at 7 PM . The congregation is invited to attend this tragedy.

Hi David. My son loves to listen to your Greatest HIts album. He enjoys singing along the 'Legacy of Love'. He's been looking for a song to sing in church for Father's Day and I thought this song would be perfect. We haven't been able to find the sheet music for the song. Is the sheet music available or is their an instrumental version of the song? Thanks for your time.

Hello David:

I trust you find time to read the comments your phans write to you as they are out of hearts that love you and your family not to mention your awesome music. Your Bahamian phns from the Bahamas are much in prayer for you in the upcoming months and years since the passing of your darling sister, Sherri. She added so much to your performances and she is missed however, we pray that you will be wise and much in prayer regarding your back up person or persons as we all know "satan is a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour" and he goes after the "big dogs". A lot of artist have fallen due to being away from their families for long periods of time. It was perfect having Sherri travel with you. There is nothing ike having family to keep us accountable and give peace of mind to those left behind . Perhaps your daughters could become your backup singers I feel Sherri would be pleased. Satan only needs a small loop hole to get in and destroy us. Your Bahamian phans love you and are much in prayer for your safety and Gods guidance in your life.

David, I love the great gospel music you sing, you are a blessing to me and my wife. Gives me goose-bumps to hear you sing. We live in Huron, South Dakota and will be attending the Gaither Vocal Band concert at the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD in April 2013. A few of my favorites are: No More Night, Fly Again, I Cry You Care & that Resurrection song "He's Alive". I am really looking forward to seeing you in person. Thank you for using your talents for the Lord. Jerry C.

Mr. Phelps,
Thank you for the work you are doing. I will let you in on a little secrete... Because of you, and almost 26 years of dormentation, I have started composing again. I am a huge fan of classique art. As well as you, I want to spread the word of the lord but have never used lyrics, so it is simple to say that I have a hard road ahead of me but looking foward to it.)

Peace and Love to all... Talan

Hi David & Lori,
I'm checking on the barn bash for 2013 --- do you have dates yet, and ticket purchasing? I'd LOVE to get tickets EARLY, as you've been sold out, every time I've looked for them, since you started this great event!!! LOOKING FORWARD TO HOPEFULLY BEING ABLE TO ATTEND THIS YEAR!!!
I have to tell you --- I'd purchases tickets to the concert in VanAndel Arena in Grand Rapids, at Christmas time this year, and I was unable to go, so one of our daughters took my husband to it. Abbey was TOTALLY amazed at how great the Vocal Band was IN PERSON!!! And to top things off, Bill drew my hubby's number as a winner of some cd's and merchandise! Soooo excited!!! Abbey chose all the goodies, and gave them to me as a Christmas gift!!! I WAS SO THRILLED --- because my dad had gotten gravely ill and I'd gone to see him, and that allowed Abbey to go in my place!
THANK YOU for using the gift God has given you to glorify His name!!! What a joy to listen to you!!! AND, I've purchased 'Classic', and am thrilled to see your children following in your footsteps!!! Maggie did a fabulous job on the duet you sang together!!!! A beautiful and talented family you have!!! :-)
God's richest blessings to you and Lori and your family, David!!!! Bev VanDyken

Hello David:

Your Bahamian phans are so glad your Christmas tour went well in spite of your bout with the flu. We know many were blessed.

You have been amazingly blessed having two daughters with such beautiful voices. God has favored you with background vocals right in your own family, what more can you ask for.
Family harmony is the best. Can't imagine how excited they are to be singing with daddy , also your sister on the trumpet a perfect package.

Our prayer is that you stay close to the cross and Gods hand will continue to be on you and temptation will have no place.


Looking forward to the new year and to see
what God has in store for you and your family.
Merry Christmas from the islands. Sonja/Bahamas

I clearly remember when our family met you and Sherri after your concert in Southlake, TX. We grieve with you as those who have the hope of eternal life in Christ. God has used you in these last days to give us a sneak peek of the music of heaven, for which we are grateful. What a blessing your family continues to be to ours! May God comfort you and keep you standing firm on His promises! Just think: "The Dream" will soon be reality!!!! What a masterpiece!!!!!

With only a little license with personal pronouns, this from Romeo and Juliet comes to mind:

"When she shall die,
Take her and cut her out into little stars
And she will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay to worship to the garish sun."

To all the Phelps family;

I wish I had something outstanding, something fantastic to say that would make a difference today.
Our hearts will ache because we're human,
but thank God we have His promise that we will see our loved ones again - she'll be singing with angels and waiting to welcome all comers!
Deepest sympathy to all the family.

I don't know how she did what she did. I am fighting my own battle with breast cancer, and I know how tired I always am. She always looked great. She was quit e a woman, and a real inspiration.
Looking forward to seeing you in Pennsylvania in October. We will be at the matinee.

This is the only song I have ever written and it was to my wife, Lil. She died of cancer February 16, 2005.

All alone with Lil till 3 in the morning, sitting on the beach, holding her ashes, listening to the waves, loving her, never wanting to let her go, our last night before she was buried in Naples, Fl.

Through the night I cried out to her pleas from my soul sung in short verses. I couldn't let her go.

My short verses were all the same rhyme and do not make into a song. I would be grateful to David if he add music to these parting words in memory of my wife for anyone who has lost their forever love.

When I heard David sing, "JUST AS I AM", so intensely powerful and emotional, I FINALLY found the singer and music similar to my last night with my wife.

I wish to ask David to consider using the lyrics of what I remember singing to my beloved wife with the intensity and passion of his song, Just as I am.

I seek no recognition or royalty. My only goal is to hear my lyrics professionally sung with the same passion as I did on the beach our last night. I can think of no other singer better than David to do so.

I shall sign any "leagaleze" necessary to protect David. These are my lyrics and no one else's and I freely give them to David Phelps if he would care to put them to music and sing them.

David has quite a gift, my lyrics are a gift to him.

Lil My Precious Love

You were my everything, how can you not be here anymore?

I miss you every day and love you in so many ways, my precious love.

I ache for your touch and the smile that meant so much, stay with me.

You made life complete but I'm so empty now and miss you so, precious love, don't go.

Your loving face and eyes, sweet voice and laughter are gone and you're no longer in my arms.

Your kisses, your warmth, our nights only memories, precious love, come back, like it use to be.

Stay this last night with me, tomorrow I have to let you go and days will pass so slow.

Sweet glimpse of heaven, it's hard to be strong and have to say goodbye, you were my breath, my heart, my all.

Someday I'll come and find you at Heaven's door, our precious love together once more.

In God's loving light and each others arms again, Souls entwined never to part, just one Heart, Forever My Precious Love...

I love you my Lil

This is the only song I have ever written and it was to my wife, Lil. She died of cancer February 16, 2005.

All alone with Lil till 3 in the morning, sitting on the beach, holding her ashes, listening to the waves, loving her, never wanting to let her go, our last night before she was buried in Naples, Fl.

Through the night I cried out to her pleas from my soul sung in short verses. I couldn't let her go.

My short verses were all the same rhyme and do not make into a song. I would be grateful to David if he add music to these parting words in memory of my wife for anyone who has lost their forever love.

When I heard David sing, "JUST AS I AM", so intensely powerful and emotional, I FINALLY found the singer and music similar to my last night with my wife.

I wish to ask David to consider using the lyrics of what I remember singing to my beloved wife with the intensity and passion of his song, Just as I am.

I seek no recognition or royalty. My only goal is to hear my lyrics professionally sung with the same passion as I did on the beach our last night. I can think of no other singer better than David to do so.

I shall sign any "leagaleze" necessary to protect David. These are my lyrics and no one else's and I freely give them to David Phelps if he would care to put them to music and sing them.

David has quite a gift, my lyrics are a gift to him.

I just got a message about you and the GVB coming to Paducah, KY on October 5th. I am so excited. I can't think of a better way to spend my birthday than with 5 Christian Men spreading God's love and word through the ministry of music. I hope that I get to attend, and meet each one of you (maybe even a picture). Thanks for your blessings to all those that hear your message.

Hello there!!!
My grandmother, my aunt and my mom I have been going to the Gaither Homecomings for years. It wasnt until last year I was able to go with them. We just got back from this year at Ft. Worth Texas May 4-5, 2012. I have enjoyed it so much. The reason why I am writing though is why dont they have you singing more of your solo songs? I LOVE He is Alive. I wish you would sing In The Beggining or one of your old ones. I understand it is the Gaither Homecomeing BUT.....you are FABULOUS!!! You have the voice of an angel.

We wiish we could have heard more special music from you but what we enjoyed was wonderful. We are listening to your CD now (The Best of) and just wanted to tell you "Nessun Dorma" is magnificent. Oh my! Thank you for that special performance last night! Just awesome! May God continue to bless you in your journey - you have truly blessed us with your gift. Thank you.

Some would like to take and use his gift for not so glorious purposes and he is inspired by you to move in a Godly direction with a clear conscience. Top that off with his singing of your music day in and day out and your inspiring him to sing Nessun Dorma. Thank you. Steph, Virginia

We made over a 10 hour trip to Nashville this past weekend to see you. (4/20) The concert was wonderful. Can you please tell me the name of the song the 5 of you sang near the end of the program. You were in a circle and the harmony like it came straight from Heaven. It was beautiful. I would like to get a CD with that on it or a single or someway find out the name of it. Can you help?
The trip was well worth the long ride. We are returning for the Barn Bash on Labor Day week-end. We can hardly wait.

Hello, I will be taking my 6 year old son (Noah) to see the Gaither Homecoming concert this Friday night, 4/20 in Nashville. Through your songs, I have witnessed firsthand the power of music and how it can be used in evangelism. I saw God working through my 6 year old son when he asked me to play "End of the Beginning" for him and his school friends in the car on the way home from school. Noah told his friends how God died on the cross for us so that we could go to heaven. It was such an amazing moment.
Noah is so excited about the concert Friday night. He keeps on asking me if you will sing "End of the Beginning". It would bring the biggest smile to his face to hear you sing this beautiful song.
I thank God for the gift he has given you and the entire Gaither Vocal Band.

God Bless you!

We seniors have great memories of tenors like Mario Lanza, but David absolutely takes the prize. Have been a fan since David joined the Vocal Band and appreciate his God given talent more with each of his new projects. Keep it up, David, but please protect that beautiful voice!

David, I recently began listening to both your own private collection of music as well as with the Gaither Vocal Band. I wish you were coming to Kansas. Your music has and did inspire me to get back into church and to start picking up my bible again. I have been missing something in my life for awhile know and I think your music helped get me intouch with what I needed. Gods words and promises. My husband is stage 4 cancer and life is hard right know. I listen to several of your songs daily to keep my spirit up for myselft as well as for my husband. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
Sincerely, D Chastain, El Dorado, KS

Hello David,
My husband and I took our sons, Richard, 5 yr old went to see your concert at the Long Beach. He wanted me to tell you that he loves you so much! He was asking me why your hair different, not curly.

Hello, David,

I was at the Long Beach Arena on the 11th and was thrilled by the entire concert especially when the GVB started with Alpha and Omega and did He's Alive. My daughter and her husband live in Gelndale CA and got tickets for all of us and flew me out from New Hampshire as a surprise. You, Mark and the GVB have been such a blessing to me and my family - my daughter has sung many of your songs in our church when she comes East. We have even taken your DVDs on our cruises.

Please tell Mark my daughter was the one who spoke to him about how he has influenced her husband (a recovering Catholic) because his faith is so real (authentic and honest).

Blessings to you and your family.
Natalie

P.S. I have to admit that we almost didn't recognize you with your new hair-do :)

As Chairman of Worship and Music at Palm Desert Community Presbyterian Church, I was instrumental in arranging Composer/Singer Ken Medema to participate in our worship services on Sunday, Jan. 29th, 1012. He also conducted a concert at 5pm in our sanctuary. We all enjoyed the event tremendously and are looking forward to doing something similar in Jan or Feb 2012. I've enjoyed your work immensely. Are you interested and available? If so, could you give me a cost estimate?

Thank you so much for touching my life in a special way! Thanks also for not selling out to the secular world and for Christ our Saviour! The song you wrote, "That's What Love Is" saved my marriage! We were going through a very tough time due to my life changing due to a car accident that has left me permanently disalbed because I have a rare bleeding disorder aound I can not have the risky surgery needed to remove a disc that is flattening my spinal cord in my neck. I will live out the rest of my life in severe pain and I can no longer do the activities I once did. I can no longer work. My husband has really had a hard time dealing with the change and had become very angry. I made him a CD with 10 songs and the 1st one was your song! God used it to soften his heart! You will never know how many lives you have touched until we meet in Heavan! Thanks, Allison in Suwanee, GA!

'. . . For to whom much is given of him shall much be required. . ."LUKE 12:48

We all love everything about David - his voice, his passion, writing and witness are paramount. He has been given much (extraordinary) talent and other gifts we just can't do without and he uses them well for the Lord and his fans. I hope everyone will join in praying for him daily as how can we know if he goes through difficult days sometimes to get everything done he dreams of doing? He makes it all look so easy but it can't always be, right?

David, you are appreciated, to say the least.

I'm sitting here feeling a little forlorn because you and the GVB are going to be so close to me and yet so far away next weekend. I just can't find anyone to go with. Lakeland is about 57 miles from Largo where I live. Wish it had worked out - maybe next time. Your music captured my heart years ago and that very rarely happens to me. Anyway, I pray this beautiful weather will still be around next week for you. I'm a Texas native that moved to FL two years ago. You add so much to the Vocal Band. Just remember, Dee will be there in spirit. God bless all the musicians and artists.

Hi David, I was sick in bed with the television on and you began to sing from your Christmas show "Mary Did You Know." I sat up, located the necessary information and promptly ordered the CD. That was in December. The cost was taken from my credit card and to date I have not received the CD. Your singing miinistered to my soul and I am gratefu l to have heard you for the first time and for it to have had such an impact on my life and my health. I woulld sincerely appreciate receiving the CD for your voice isn't just for a season. Thank you!

I was able to take my 85 year old Mom to see the Vocal Band in Southhaven Miss. and also to see your Christmas concert in Jackson, Tennessee. We both enjoyed both concerts so much and feel blessed that we were able to attend. I know it may get old to you, but you and the Vocal Band are absolutely amazing and to be in the same building with you makes one feel that God is so near. Your voice is truly incredible ; thank you for sharing it with the world.
We have been to several concerts through the last 10+ years and I hope I will have the opportunity to take her again.
God Bless you and the Vocal Band and your family for sharing your amazing talent!

I was able to take my 85 year old Mom to see the Vocal Band in Southhaven Miss. and also to see your Christmas concert in Jackson, Tennessee. We both enjoyed both concerts so much and feel blessed that we were able to attend. I know it may get old to you, but you and the Vocal Band are absolutely amazing and to be in the same building with you makes one feel that God is so near. Your voice is truly incredible ; thank you for sharing it with the world.
We have been to several concerts through the last 10+ years and I hope I will have the opportunity to take her again.
God Bless you and the Vocal Band and your family for sharing your amazing talent!

Hi David...Wishing you and your family a safe, Blessed, Happy New Year!

My friend and I were really sad to hear your VanWert, OH date was sold out! We love to attend your concerts!

Have you ever sung/recorded "Joseph's Song" by Michael Card? It gives a whole new way to look at Jesus' birth and life. I would LOVE to hear you sing it! You have been blessed with an incredible voice! Thank you so much for sharing it!

Blessings to you and yours,
Kay Putt

Hi David - I hope your Christmas was filled with many blessings and joy. The love of family and friends are cherished gifts. I love your musical talent, David. God has given you this gift and you are sharing it with us. Hopefully I will be able to see you in person someday - in the meantime I have my cd's and You Tube. I recently wrote you an email but I forgot to sign my name - I realized this the next day - Good one, huh? I keep wishing and hoping that sometime you will perform in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area. I'll be the first in line. I loved the church bulletin notices. One of my old favorites is "Don't give up - Moses was once a basket case." Another one is "Youth Group is having it's Annual Bowel-a-thon." In the meantime, David, I'm singing and smiling along with you. Blessings and happiness to you, David. Gloria McCurdy

It was so great to see Sherri and Kari with you and of course, Jack! I love your whole crew! Thank you for the bloopers. They are so funny!

As a person very seldom at a loss for words, I am. I am unable to utter any more than the obvious. Do you have any idea what an impact you have on others' lives? I know the Lord smiles when you sing. Thank you for your part in furthering the Kingdom of God and for giving us just a glimpse of what maybe Heaven could be.

I want to thank you for making the Gaither Homecoming Christmas Concert so special. (I learned this year, that people can still hear in the dark... even if they can't see!) As you began to sing O Holy Night, it was pitch dark and I said, "Oh David, no one can sing this song like you!" I realized that I said it out loud when a couple people around me started to chuckle. Have a Merry Christmas, and God Bless!! :o)

Merry Christmas David (and your family). We enjoyed both the concert at Garland, TX, and your Christmas concert in Waco a couple of weeks ago. My husband and I live in Marquez, Tx. I've been a phan of yours since watching the Gaither Vocal Hour, and now my husband is becoming one, too, especially after hearing you sing Ave Maria, Oh Holy Night and Nessun Dorma. Thank you, David, for the wonderful voice that God gave to you, and now you share it with us.

Hey Phriends~
Just checkin' in with ya..... it's been too long!  Hope everyone has had a wonderful summer.  We have been working tirelessly (well, actually we have been pretty tired!) getting ready for the 2nd annual Barn Bash.  It is gonna be SOOOOOOOOO fun!  We have some wonderful things in store for all participating.  Some of the gift bag things were just delivered yesterday..... very cool..... your gonna LOVE it (and if you don't please don't tell me.... I've been working on it for a year)!  I have been viewing the boards and know that you have many things planned together besides the Barn Bash.  I am so thrilled that our music has helped develop lifetime phriendships!   Enjoy your special times together and the memories being made.  Many of you have emailed to ask about things I would suggest you do while in the area.  Here are a few things I enjoying doing when we have the time....... 
                 Downtown Franklin (shopping on the square, walking tour of historic Franklin, The Carton Plantation, antiques at The Factory)
                 Belle Meade Plantation tour (Sherri and I did this tour in the Spring.... very interesting and beautiful)
                 The Hermitage Tour (my girls and I did this tour when homeschooling... loved it)
                 Hwy-50 drive-in theatre in Lewisburg, TN (open on weekends only... could do this on Friday night)
                 Eateries..... Loveless Cafe, Dotson's Cafe, Campbell Station, Marcy Jo's.... basically, any non-chain meat and three type place
Be sure to wear your Phelps wear while on these outings!  To help you spread the Phelps Phan love I have reduced the price of all the PH3 line in the concession stand.... order some today.... www.davidphelps.com/concessionstand. 
Well, I gotta go out to the barn.... gotta get all the junk out that I have thrown in there over the last year.... gotta get it all pretty for my PHRIENDS!
See ya "soon"~
Lori

It was so beautiful, especially in your voice! thank you for making it available. It was perfect for my sweet husband. God Bless you and your family. have a wonderful christmas! PJ

I hope you and your family have a very blessed Christmas. Your music is so beautiful. AT this point in my life I have never felt further from God. I have quit my job to help care for my mother and go back to church on Sundays. I took a giant leap of faith quitting my job. I believe God will honor it. Thank you for things you do for us that you may not even know you do. We know you get tired but you are touching so many people. Lord I ask you to bless David, his family and GVB. They have been such a big part of my life. Thank you for everything. Kim Moreno

David I just wanted to let you know that you are truly blessed and anointed. I have been having trouble staying in church and I feel further away from God than I ever have in my life. I feel like my life is out of control. I'm helping my dad take care of my mom and have moved them in with me. I have quit my job to help out and basically get closer to God. My boss wouldn't give me my Sundays back. Your music has helped me so much. I feel I can truly worship and feel close to God by listening to your beautiful voice. I hope you and your beautiful family have a blessed Christmas. May God always bless you all.

David I just wanted to let you know that you are truly blessed and anointed. I have been having trouble staying in church and I feel further away from God than I ever have in my life. I feel like my life is out of control. I'm helping my dad take care of my mom and have moved them in with me. I have quit my job to help out and basically get closer to God. My boss wouldn't give me my Sundays back. Your music has helped me so much. I feel I can truly worship and feel close to God by listening to your beautiful voice. I hope you and your beautiful family have a blessed Christmas. May God always bless you all.

Christmas is right around the corner. Wanted to know if a track of Mary did you know with the horns is available or if soon will be. An amazing song but when the horns are playing wow even more amazing. You are a blessing. Thank you. Peter

How would I get your background track to "if Everyone Believed"? We are the entertainment for Leiper's Fork's Annual Christmas Festivities, and my 10 year old son has been working on this since August! I can't find the soundtrack anywhere...online or in stores! Let me know where to send the check!:)
Thanks so much for being such an INCREDIBLE singer /role model for my boys! You've kept singing current & very "cool" for my boys as they grow up! Alex & Austin LOVE singing your "version" of these songs! Your "O HOly Night" & "If Everyone Believed" will be @ this event! Keep
it up!

Hi! My 7 year old, Emma Jarvis, has to be one of David's biggest Phans! She lives, breathes, and dreams about him (and prays for him nightly, which might explain the dreaming :). I have been hoping for a Gaither concert or David Phelps concert closer to our neck of the woods (Lincoln, Maine), but that doesn't look promising. She is dying to have an autographed something of David's. If I bought a T-shirt for her, would there be any way to get it autographed by David? This would be her favorite Christmas gift ever! Thanks so much.
Love and prayers,
Andrea Jarvis

Hi, my 8 yr old, Julian Silva, won a local talent show called Novemberfest Idol in Brandon, FL last year. As a reigning champion, Julian was asked if he can sing a song while the judges deliberate their decisions. Julian was so inspired by your song "End of the Beginning" that it became a burning feeling and claimed that he couldn't stop singing it. He prepared every day, tirelessly to get it right. He tried it in different range and finally was happy with the outcome. The day came, 13Nov11, and as soon as he got on stage, the sound went out. It took a while to get it back but needless to say he got to sing it. The sound system was only 30% but it touched many people in that place. The enemy tried to stop him for singing and to witness because we know that God's word never comes back void. A few hours later, God opened the door and he was asked to sing it again and this time their sound system was 100%. He started to sing and people started to fill in the tent. People were raising their hands and praising Jesus. So incredible how God can use this kid to reach people for him. Thank you for singing The End of the Beginning because it had to move Julian first before he can move anyone. Your voice and your message have moved him to the point that he didn't allow anything or anyone to stop him from singing that song. Praising Jesus for allowing your path to cross with Julian even if it is just through a music video. One day he hopes to be able to meet you and maybe if God is willing, be able to sing that song with you. God Bless you and your ministry because what you're doing made a difference in an 8 year old boy.

We posted the video of his performance on www.youtube.com/on3photographics. He was wearing a beige jacket with a burnt orange shirt.

David, Enjoyed the Myrtle Beach Gaither Fest this past weekend, but you did not seem to be your usual self (not feeling well, mind somewhere else) or something. Hope you are still happy with the GVB. They wouldn't be the same without you. Hope you got home and could spend some alone time with Lori for your birthdays, I loved hearing on the "Best of David Phelps" DVD that you and she have such a wonderful relationship. I know it's hard being on the road and away from the family so much, but know God is the center of both your lives and will keep the relationship strong.

Hi David

I am saddened that I will miss seeing you at the Gaither Concert in Lakeland, Florida. We cannot not purchase a ticket for just one concert and I always purchase 4 tickets for my family which includes a special needs young man. The price of purchasing the 2 day ticket for 4 is just to pricy for my budget. I am always attend your concerts anywhere in the area and will be sad not to be able to see you.
God Bless you and your family.

Hello! I just listened to "No More Night" on youtube, and below in the comment section someone said he was not a bible thumping Christian but believed he would go to church on Sunday after hearing that. Just wanted to share that your singing touches people and makes a difference. Thank you with all my heart for using your talent to glorify God and for His purpose. It means more than I can ever express.

Or something close to it. Just wanted to share and let you know God uses your singing to really touch people and that it makes a difference. Thank you with all my heart for devoting the voice He gave you to use it for His purpose and not your own. It means more than I can say.

The rain couldn't dampen my spirit because it was soaring as high as one of David's 'money notes'. I will forever cherish Barn Bash 2011.
God Bless Everyone who had a hand in making this BB as uplifting as it was.

Until we meet again!

Hi, David and Lori (Two precious people). I'm Ferris Jooste from South Africa. I was struggling to get one ticket for the Barn Bash but all tickets were sold out. I e-mailed the Barn crew to try for a ticket but there is a long waiting list. When am I going to meet you in person? It's just not fair. You're my star and freaks me out to know that I won't be seeing you at your farm. Please help...

Hello David:

Your Bahamian phans want to know if you have a Christmas tour coming up soon and if so will you be coming to the Florida area, preferably South Florida. It will be so worth a plane ticket to hear you sing "O Holy Night" and because I am a PK raised just outside of Memphis but living in the Bahamas at this time and that I am a Elvis Phan, it would be great to hear you sing "Blue Christmas" in person . I have your Christmas DVD which I watch all the time, but would be the highlight of my life and many of your phans to see you and hear you sing your beautiful Christmas songs. Hopefully soon! Sonja/Bahamas

We really do appreciate you and David, and your willingness to open your home to us. Don't work too hard cleaning out the stuff. We're coming to see you and David, not the barn! Blessings, Lynn

Barn Bash 2011

 Hey, phriends!  Just checking in real quick.  Hope you are all staying cool this summer.  The Gaither Alaskan Cruise last week was a great relief from the heat.  The family had a wonderful time and I enjoyed getting to spend time with other artists.  Check out this link, http://t.co/i7ljvcP, on YouTube for a slide show from the cruise.  

We are back home now and making all final preparations for Labor Day Barn Bash 2011!  It's our biggest crowd here ever so we've got to make everything just right.  
Begin praying with us for everyone's safety during travel and that we will have a wonderful, spirit filled weekend.  

Gotta go and start chipping away at my honey-do list.  We are looking forward to seeing all of you Barn Bashers in September.  Maybe I'll even wear one of my famous hats.  

Soon,
DP

just found Austraiilian Homecoming on TV. My days are consumed with the show. thank God for tivo and your beautiful voice. Have been a fan of GVB for years. Would listen to your music while nursing my daughter at those 2am feedings. Must say she grew up to be a calm and loving women and I know your music was a part of it. Waiting for my recent purchase to arrive. Was recently layed off and find solice in your listening to your music. Good Luck with Barn Bash, and hope to one day be able to see you live. God Bless and thank you for all the joy you bring me.

Hi David!
Thanks for the blog! Glad you had a great cruise & relief from the heat! My hubby & I are going on an Alaskan cruise at the end of August, so I won't be able to attend the Barn Bash. I will be praying for y'all! I love your hats! Thanks for posting the Alaska video! See you with the GVB in November, when it is cold again in Tulsa, OK!

It's great to hear from you! Glad you all had a wonderful time on the cruise. An Alaskan cruise has been on my "bucket list" for quite a while, and I can't think of a better one to take than a Gaither Homecoming one. Ahhh, someday! Good luck with the "honey-do" list, and get some well-deserved rest. I, too, will be praying for traveling mercies and wonderful weather. See you in 25 days!

Great time in Brazil!

 We'll we're headed home to the US!  Can't wait to see my sweetheart and my babies.  We had an amazing time in Brazil. We had the most enthusiastic audiences.  They were so warm and caring-even strangers on the plane were gracious.

We have been so honored here knowing that our music has reached so far in different languages and cultures.  I still find it hard to believe that God would choose to use me in such a way.  I hope and pray that they felt loved back.  This has truly been a benchmark in our ministry and careers.

Now we are all looking forward to getting back on the bus and seeing some familiar faces.  We are home for just a few days before heading to Pensilvania.  I find myself looking forward to my bunk, Cracker Barrel, and TV for which I don't have to read subtitles!

Hope to see you all soon!  God bless,

Hello David:

I was listening to the Best of David Phelps
video recently, and the interviews with Bill Gaither were very interesting, in that, your phans got to see the "man behind the voice". We saw a very humble man that loves God with all his heart not to mention the sweet family God
has blessed you with. One does wonder why God blesses certain people with a beautiful voice but also a wonderful phamily and career.

Your Bahamina phans pray that you will continue to sing and write those beautiful songs that we can listen to and be so blessed. Songs like Arms Open Wide, God Will Take Care of You and There Is A River which is one of my favorites.

More on the secular side, Fly Me To The Moon,
Unchained Melody. I do agree with something you said during the interview and that is God is in all art. He created it all. I , my self am a performer and when I sing a song from a Broadway musical or an Aria it all comes from God our creator.

Your phans here in the Bahamas pray for you and your family that God will protect and keep you . We love you and your music and pray you will stay close to the "cross". Sonja/Bahamas

To David and the rest of the crew, just wanted to say that I was at your 'intimate' concert on june 24 th in Motherwell Scotland and I thought the evening was fantastic. In Bible loving Scotland we don't get enough of you guys across here to bless us and hopefully for us to encourage you. Anyway please keep going with what you and God are doing. God Bless you all.

I was never privilaged to attend any of your concerts - maybe it's because i live in Trinidad and Tobago. You should probably think about doing one here. I was able to go Mr. Larnelle Harris' one just last month and he had a great turn out. Trust me, if you should decide to come i know that you'll make a difference not only in the lives of those who would attend but the entire nation at large, May God continue to bless you David as you bless the lives of others!

Hi Gilmore -- This is for you. I saw your post back a ways on this blog, about your disappointment when talking to David. I just wanted to urge you to realize that tho sometimes we watch enough videos of people to feel familiar with them, they have not watched videos of us to feel instantly familiar with us. So we can indavertantly expect them to react to us the familiar way we feel toward them. But they DON'T know us, our motives, etc.
Maybe you were just expecting to meet someone as familiar with you as you feel you are with him. Cut him some slack there. Maybe someday he WILL know you, but at this concert, he didn't. That's all it was.

Saw the GVB in concert last night in Jackson, MS. It appeared that David was not in full voice and I am praying extra hard for him. God still used him in a big way to bless us. Hope everyting is ok. Please let us know if there is a problem.

Thanks.

Saw the GVB in concert last night in Jackson, MS. Was a bit worried about David. He seemed to be having a bit of trouble with his voice. God was still able to use his voice to bless the audience and I'm not sure how many people realized he was not in full voice.

I hope everything is ok and maybe he just needs some rest. Will be praying extra hard for him. Please let us know if there is a problem.

Hi Gilmore, Don't feel bad, you were disappointed. When we admire somebody llike David we tend to put them on a pedestal and forget that they are just a human being no different than you and I. David is out there using his talent that God entrusted him with to point others to Christ, he just happens to be in the public eye. But, God has also entrusted in each individual soul some "talent" to use equally to point others to Christ. When we use our own unique God-given gifts, no matter how small or inadequate, it is no less grand in God's eyes. So, we always need to keep our eye on who is being pointing to rather than who is pointing. Man will eventually disappoint, but God never does. And I don't think David meant to disappoint, but he is only human being. I shutter to think how I've disappointed others when I never intended to.

That said, I too was hoping to hear David sing more, but it's not the David Phelps show, it is the Gaither show, and I would imagine they all take direction from Bill Gaither! When Kevin Williams was signing autographs, the moment that he got the signal to go back on stage, he couldn't get out of there fast enough! My conclusion is that there is a strong need to be where they are supposed to be! So ease your mind, all of David's fans are in the same boat, it's hard not to be in awe and create a fantasy world of David in our minds! Hope you feel better. Judy

I must apologize for my previous posting. After much prayer, I have given the matter to God and will move on. My intent was not to make anyone feel badly or to find fault with anyone. The show was amazing and many hearts were touched. My heavenly Father heals and restores all things. He convicts me when I am wrong. May He continue to Bless the music ministry of the Gaither Vocal Band. God Bless you, David and your awesome talent. Maybe I will get the chance to see another show in the future. - Sincerely, "No longer sad in Johnstown, PA"

I am heartbroken. I just attended the much-anticipated Gaither Vocal Band Tour in my hometown of Johnstown, PA this past Sat., May 14th. My Mother and I were first in line to purchase tickets months ago on the very first day they went on sale (way back in March). I am a HUGE fan of David's and absolutely could not wait for the tour to reach my city. Well, aside from "Nessun Dorma" and "He's Alive," David faded into the background for most of the event. I was crushed. In addition, we were told by one of the kind staff workers at his merchandise table that he was in "excellent voice" that evening and that he never turns away his fans with signing autographs , pictures and such. Although he did in fact sign my CD, I had tried to make a nice comment about sharing the same birth year ( I was born in Feb. of 1969) to which he all but ignored. As the lights flickered to signal the end of intermission, I watched David move quickly to the stage area. He appeared distant and a bit removed. Not at all the David Phelps I had imagined meeting in person. I can only assume that he was not feeling well or perhaps a bit tired. Whatever the reason, I can't help but feel slightly disappointed. I was so looking forward to meeting the wonderfully talented, loving family man I watched on my Best Of David Phelps DVD... but I guess he was absent this past weekend. Signed: Sad in Johnstown, PA

A little late, but Happy Easter! Just wanted to tell you that on Palm Sunday the younger teens did a skit accompanied by David singing "End of the Beginning!" Two boys sat on chairs as if they were on a plane and dancers using some kind of sticks danced and made awesome designs with the sticks. It was just beautiful. The church was Family Worship Center in Kulpsville, PA. Saw David and the Gaither's last year at Gaitherfest in SC. Loved it.

Back again! David, I would love to hear you sing The Majesty and Glory of Your Name. I used to sing it as a solo, even though we started singing it in our choir at church. My voice breaks too much now in my old age to continue singing, except along with the videos of you and the Gaither Vocal Band I have downloaded to my RealPlayer on my computer, and just drink in that beautiful uplifting music!!!!

God bless you, Lori and your family!

Daviid, My first concert was in Greenville on April 16th. I was so enamored with whole thiing I didn't want to breathe too hard so as to distract myself from one moment. I was so overcome by such unexpected emotion that I felt hearing your voice in person that it started to make me feel a bit uneasy and I couldn't understandy why. I've been thinking though that it is so easy to be drawn to someone like you who has been gifted with so much talent that we elevate and praise you and forget the giver of that talent; kind of like worshiping creation but not the Creator. So David, thank you so much for what you do and for all the joy you give, but I thank you most of all for using your talent to sing praises to God and point others to Christ. If a mere mortal's God-given voice can stir such emotion, I can't begin to image what it will be like to be in the presence of the Almighty God and sing praises to Him. I then shall truly faint. You are blessed and you are a blessing. Judy

Hello David:

Glad to hear that everyone made it home safely. Sorry to hear about the cancelled show I know there were a lot of disappointed phans,
however, things happen for reasons. Can't imagine how good it feels to be back home.

Your Bahamian phans watched every video
that was posted of the GVB and just cracked up over Mark's humor and we got to see a bit of your humor also which was very entertaining.

Your vocals were , as always, amazing and beautiful . I know everyone was so blessed to hear you . Your phans here are so excited to hear that you will be making a stop here in Nassau on the Caribbean cruise in Feb. 2012.

Wow, we are very excited about this and hopefully will get to see you while in port here.
Sad it will only be for half a day but half is better than nothing. Trust you will get off the boat for a while anyway . Maybe we can get some pictures taken with you. Does not hurt to dream! Pray the rest of the tour goes well. Sonja/Bahamas

Hi David,
I've always wanted to see you in concert, and when I heard that you and the vocal band were coming I immediatly asked my mom if she can help me get tickets. We had our hands on them, but we hit two snags. Our internet is lowsy, and we couldn't swing it. I'm really sorry I can't see you in concert, but i'll still pray that you do a wonderful job. Not just in PA, but everywhere you go. Good luck, and God Bless you and your family.

Your concert lifted us up so much. Sadly we lost my father last April. Kevin and him were very close. Kevin saw that you were coming to Lancaster this April and really wanted to come see you again. We are coming on Sun which is the anniv of my father's death. Hoping your songs can lift us again for we miss him so much. God Bless You!!!

David, I want to tell an event that happened on the plane that day. Before I sit next to you, I was sitting behind. A girl asked me who was on the plane as she watched the turmoil. I replied that I was an American gospel quintet. A boy who was sitting beside me looked at me indignantly and said: "I just returned from an Iron Maiden concert and you talk me into gospel quintet? I replied: "Yes, and if you could hear them would be moved by the power of the Word of God that can make it through these songs." I pray that this boy will one day have the opportunity to hear them sing and turn to God. Elaine Layber - Brazil (elainelayber@yahoo.com.br).

You are God's instruments to play and score through the hearts of the songs. I've been there four days in Bahia and I can still feel his heart pounding. I can feel the music alive within me. I loved to have known you all, especially you, who had more contact with the plane. I have always admired your work, your music and your voice. Do not forget Brazil. We will always be here waiting for you around. We love you! Elaine Layber (elainelayber@yahoo.com.br).

I love what you said to Bill at the end of your Best of video....You want people to know that you loved them...

Beautifully said....I think you can see from what you felt in Brazil, South Africa and all around the world that you are accomplishing just that. I know here in the state s you are definately appreciated and loved.
Your voice is phenomonal, but who you are as a person is what touches my heart. What a blessing for your children to grow up knowing how much thier parents love each other and them. That is the greatest legacy you can learve.

GOD BLESS YOU FOR STRENGTH, REST, PEACE AND JOY.

LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU IIN FT. WORTH. Had to sell my FF tickets, had so wanted to come to Gaitlinburg, but could not work it out. Sadness....

Thankful for a loving God that shows us the way. Shawn

Dear David!

Good to hear that your trip to Brasil has been amazing :-) That is a country I would like to visit, but living in Norway makes it a bit difficult.

My husband and I were attending the latest consert Gaither Vocal Band gave in Oslo, some fortnight ago - it was just fantastic!

After the concert we where looking for you all, but only Gordon came out that night. We chatted a bit with you a year ago, when we were expecting our firstborn, Amanda. She was born on the 11.th of June, but - sadly - we lost her 10 days old.
We'd brought with us a letter for you at the concert in Oslo, witch we gave to Petter Losnegard (conductor of Voice of Joy), who again gave it to your tourmanager. Hope you recived it!

Last week it was decided that you are going to give a concert in Egersund 16.th of June - hope we'll be able to met you then!

God Bless!

Best Whises

Can't wait to see you in PA....then Texas...Safe travels and enjoy your short time off..

February Greetings!

 

Hey Phriends,

Hope you are all doing well this February.  Valentines Day is on its way so I hope you all are thinking of your loved ones.  OH, I just thought of this…you’ll be able to purchase Labor Day Barn Bash tickets on Valentines Day for the perfect gift!  What a great way to tell someone you love them.  AND, what a coincidence that we chose that day. ;-)  Truly, we’ve been scheming and planning this year’s event already.  We hope to have a wonderful Labor Day weekend planned for you by the time you step off the bus.

 

I’ve never seen so much snow here in TN.  I was working in the studio yesterday and was so surprised to look out and see it coming down again.  Lori and I love it but the kids can’t miss any more school or they’ll have to go into their Summer break.  Of course, they love the idea of school being closed but, when we explained to them that they might have to extend the school year, they suddenly hope for good weather.  The snow and cold weather doesn’t bother me a bit, but I have to admit I am ready for some longer, sunnier days.  I welcome the idea of playing outside with the kids until bedtime.

 

It’s been a great year so far.  I’ve had some much-needed time off the road.  However, much of it’s been spent in the office or the studio catching up on things that were put off since last fall.  Then there’s the ‘honey-do’ list that’s been waiting for me.  We just call it “The List”.  I don’t feel like I’ve made a dent in that.  But that’s OK—it keeps me needed around here.

 

The “Best of…” video is officially done!  I’m still processing how I feel about the whole thing.  Don’t get me wrong—I’m very proud of it.  It’s just a little like seeing your life flash before your eyes.  Time has just flown by.  From my first video, Down at the Tabernacle, to the present, I’ve met so many wonderful people and seen some amazing places.  I’ve also seen a lot of sizes and hair styles!  There were definitely some “What was I thinking!” moments.  I guess that makes looking back interesting, though. 

 

Bill was very gracious, of course, and made it very comfortable.  Since we experienced most of the events together, it was a lot like walking down memory lane with an old friend instead of staging an interview.  And having Lori and the kids there was so fun.  Grant made me a little nervous because I never know what he’s going to say!  But we got through it without too many scars.  We also sang together one of our favorite songs—I was so proud.

 

We’ll be leaving for South Africa next week.  It’s the first of our overseas treks this year.  Pray for our rest and safety.

 

It’s back to work for me—songs to record, items to mark off “The List”.

 

Soon,

dp

Dear David, God granted me the privilege to meet you on the plane going to the concert in Bahia (Brazil) on Thursday, remember? The few who spoke English came rolled through and sat behind you in thinking so many things I wanted to tell you if I knew their language. You were very kind and attentive, just the way I expected (though the tiredness). The band's performance was beautiful! I enjoyed every second! To hear you sing "Nessun Dorma" brightened my evening. What a beautiful voice! Know that Brazil is open arms to welcome you whenever you want to come. God bless him abound.

Just had to let you know that this morning I finished watching your brand new DVD , The Best of David Phelps. Even though many of the songs are duplicates from all your other CDs (which I possess), these are really the best of the best. I guess my favorite is "These are They." Thanks so much for producing such a fine representation of Christian music as well as sharing yourself and your family with me. I've seen you either four or five times in concert and never cease to be amazed at what God can do to a willing soul and voice! May God continue to bless you as you serve Him in a mighty way!

Hello:
Mom was a music teacher and taught me to appreciate music. I have lived my whole life through music and your rendition of Nessun Dorma is magnificent. Would love to come and see you in person at a concert. Your voice is a gift from God! Absolute purity in every note! Bless you for the gift you give to others.

Dear David:

Many of your Bahamian phans watched Best
of DP and was just blow away. There are no
words for you voice and talent except awesome. I hung on to every word that you said during the interview with Bill and I just loved when you told him you want to be remember for giving people hope. That is exactly what your music does. It touches the very soul of where we are all at. Just people who need to be "clean". Thank you for sharing yourself with us and allowing us to see into your life it just makes us love you more and look forward to great music as you allow God to lead you.
You have a sweet family you are truly blessed.

Hi DP.
I saw the 'Best of David Phelps' special this evening on TBN, then immediately flipped to the INSP network and watched it again. I loved it. Your 'best of' DVD & CD is a gift. It's a wonderful way to usher in spring time. I had been hoping, for a long time, that Bill Gaither would interview you and share the best with all of us who love your music, your voice, your artistry, and your message of hope. I will celebrate my 50th birthday in April; guess what I'm giving myself? Yes, that's right!! :) God Bless You and Your Family.

David:
I watched your "Best Of" DVD last night and was encouraged by everything you said. My son, Josh, is doing well playing the piano and we constantly encourage him to use his gifts, given by God, to glorify God. Just for fun, here is a sample video of Josh performing one of his favorite songs at a homeschool Talent Night.

hi david, just a note to say that I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of your dvd the best of david phelps. I pre-ordered it back in early February. Saw the short preview of you and the family on the gaither adveertisement, and enjoyed it a bunch. Grant is a funny young man. Keep hoping you and your group will some day come to memphis. I have certainly enjoyed your David Phelps Family Band cd. Lots of good music and new arrangements of old songs. Good job. Love to you and your family. Wanda

Hi David.... I would like to say that I`m a great fan of yours. I`m back in Brazil now ( my homecountry), but I`ve lived in the USA before, and since then I know your work. I`ve already been to a gather vocalband`s show in Fort Myers, and on that day I took a picture with you, It was an amazing and blessing day.
I have a bible bookstore here in Brazil, and of course I sell your cds and dvs, everybody loves it.
I`ve heard that the Gathers are coming to Brazil in abril 30, are you coming too? I hope you come....
God bless you and your family......

Hello David:

Sitting here on the island listening to "The Voice"
songs like Your Love, Moonlight, Unchained Melody how beautiful they are . Can't wait
until you record another solo album. I hope it will be real soon. Can't imagine how it could top "The Voice" however I've got a feeling it
will be equally as good if not better. I pray you will keep singing with GVB as well as solo untl all your Bahamian Phans get to see and hear you in person. God Bless: Sonja/Bahamas

Hi David, although we all realise that you had no fault in not being in Cape Town for the GVB concert, the disappointment is just so great. The concert was great and we were truly blessed to have Bill and the rest with us. My friends and I were so looking forward to seeing you with them as well. It was all we could talk about for weeks - that we were going to be able to see ALL of you and not just be satisfied with watching DVD's. Now we will probably never have that opportunity again. I wish you and your family all the best as you keep on growing in your faith and keep on ministering. Riette, Cape Town, South Africa

Hello David, I could not believe on Friday night that for the 3rd time I was at a concert hoping (& praying) to see and hear you - only to learn you were not here. This is Gaither Vocal Bands 3rd visit to SA (2nd to Cape Town). For the first 2 visits you had gone solo - and we missed you. Now this time customs/passport issues kept you away from us. Please plan a visit to Cape Town sometime soon. The guys all did so well on Friday we were truely blessed. Bless you for all your effort trying to get here - and for taking the long haul flights to SA. I believe the Jo'burg concert was brilliant. Next time GVB visit SA I'm going to book for both the Cape Town & J'burg concerts just to make sure I don't miss anyone.

David,

I was so disappointed when Bill announced on Friday, 18th February 2011 - Cape Town, South Africa that David couldn't make it for the concert. My whole evening was spoilt. You have to make it up with me. Please visit South Africa soon as I couldn't wait to see you face to face. The concert was good but your voice was missed. It was hard for me to enjoy the concert as my Phan was not there. Was hoping Bill was only pulling our legs. I feel an emptiness in my soul. Please make a plan to come to SA very soon. Hope to hear from you.

Hello David:

So good to hear from you. I completely understand the "snow" as I too lived in TN just outside Memphis . My dad pastored a church there and yes I love Elvis! I now live in sunny
Nassau, Bahamas and you would love the
beautiful sunny days we are having right now.

The new DVD with your family is awesome! I loved the interview with your wife and kids and
yes Grant has your sense of humor for sure. Very sweet family. As far as your hair, I like
all of your hair styles and love your new image.

Prayers go out to you and the GVB as you plan to go abroad. I know the people will be blessed and uplifted every night as you share God's love. Hopefully someday we will see you
here in the Bahamas. It would be great to meet
you in person and see the man behind the "voice". God Bless. Sonja/Bahamas

I have listened to your Christmas DVD everyday
during Christmas and just can't stop. All the songs are so beautiful. Blue Christmas is so
awesome, I really don't care to hear another
artist sing it after hearing you. All of the songs
from start to finish just minister to the heart.
Love the arrangement of The Christmas Song
and II'll be Home For Christmas. To Make A King
is georgeous. Thank you so much for taking time to record such beautiful music for you phans to enjoy and to share your talent with us.
Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family. Sonja/Nassau , Bahamas

Hey David, I work in a Christian Book store and when your new Christmas CD and DVD came in I bought them right away and listened and watched them that night. I have to say they are both awesome. It looks like you guys have a great time and it is such a blessing to watch. One of favorite things on the DVD is when you sing to your little son Coby. How cute is he and he sure does love his daddy. It was so precious to watch.
Thank you so much for sharing with us your amazing voice and just your humbleness and love you put into each of your projects. The Lord is truly blessed by this as we your phans are. What a gift He has given you to share with the world. Happy 2011 and I can't wait until you come to Ontario, Canada again.
God Bless you and your beautiful family.
One of your biggest phans.

Hi David, have just been able to connect to you and your blogs. Thanks for the christmas dvd, it is awsome. Picked it up at the GVB concert in Marion IN back in October. I was blown away by your solo He's Alive. Great job. Of course all of your songs are great and uplifting. Keep up the great messages through song. By the way, i don't know if you remember , but I am the lady that fell during intermission at the Marion concert , and you were so gracious as to come over to the bench where I was sitting and talked to me and gave me a hug. The fall was worth it for the hug. Hope you and your band will come to Memphis, or at least close so that I can see your concert in person. Love to you and your family.

Hi David, I'm a Filipino. I'm not really sure if you get to read this. For you, there are too many more important things than this, but for me and my brothers, reading this message means more than you will ever know. And besides that, for the sake of the children please spare me a minute of your preciuos time.. I may have to go straight to go to the point.
- Children in our place go to the schools where they see their teahers smoke and often hear them say informal languages and conversations. Our Church has been trying to finish the school building wherein we could serve and educate a better Christian learning and invironment. But we still need to make more funds for us to get started. so, I made a proposal to the Church to gather bretheren who can sing. And we are planning to make a tribute album, recorded on CD. That includes your old versions such as Nomore night, Oh holy night and More than ever, I pray Mr. Bill Gaither gets to read this. And with this project, we can start to raise funds; visit churches and many places, touch their hearts with the songs, so they may buy our CD... 100% of the profits goes to the school building... My email add is mistah_ran@yahoo.com ..... iam sorry... God will get this message to your dreams...

Hi David ! The interview was wonderphul! I am so thrilled counting down the days to 12/21/2010. I will see you there! At the 2001 show in Jax, Fl you sang Alpha and Omega and it was AMAZING! I have searched and searched and as far as I can tell you have only recorded that with GVB so I have not heard it since. I am prayerful one day you will record that song the way you sang it solo for that concert. I just though I should tell you I am praying for that!

I was so blessed by the Joy Joy concert in 2001 in Jacksonville, Florida; and I am so grateful to have the joy of hearing the beautiful amazing gift of your voice again in Ashland Kentucky on 12/21/2010! tickets arrived yesterday! Your gift is such a beautiful blessing to us here on Earth. I can not imagine the angels in heaven singing any more beautiful than you David. Thank you for sharing it with us here while we wait to meet our Redeemer. I continue to lift you and yours up in prayer. Many things have happened in nine years, a wonderful husband of 8 years and a precious son, your music has been there to bless me, lift me, console me, and guide me. Music is such apowerful tool. I am thanful you chose to use your gift for Christ.

Hello David:

I am so in love with your Christmas DVD
Christmas with David Phelps. Today I listened
to Blue Christmas over and over . It just blows
me away every time I hear it. The whole DVD
is amazingly beautiful I love it all. I have all of your CD's, DVD's and just can get enough of your voice . You are truly a God send and a blessing. The Christmas Song/I'll Be Home for Christmas is just amazing also not to mention Ave Maria, and To Make A King just breathtaking. Thank you so much for this beautiful DVD and I just can't wait to see what you will record in the future. Sonja/Bahamas #1 phan.

YOu're such an amazing songwriter, performer!
Is great to have talents among the christianity. It'd be great to get your music in Sheet music so we can sing in our voice recitals, nad actually could be a tool for asll of us christians learning how to sing of our OWN theme; especially the christmas repertorie. I've been searching the web for songs like: if christmas never came and others. Think about that!!! Love you and lift your ministry in my prayers so it continues...you're such an inspiration to an even closer walk with God.

Hi David,

Looking forward to flying out to Ohio tomorrow so I can take my 85 year old mother to the concert in Dayton. I can't wait to see her face as she gets to see you and the GVB in person. It is such an honor to be able to take her. God has blessed me richly with having her as my mom. I know she will be blown away on Saturday. I know that I was when I went to the concert this past April in Portland, Maine.
See you soon!

What a great night in Green Bay Wisc... I can't believe I just said that being from Minnesota! Anyway, i truely enjoyed the GVB concert 10.30.10.. I was able to bring my two brothers and their wives and let me say...one should never under estimate the power of God. It was a weekend for us that won't be soon forgotten. Thanks to you and the rest of the gang for doing what it is you do and to your families for sharing the talents God has given you all. May God continue to bless you all and your families. Oh yeah...did Gordon really forget the words to his song?!...lol Great job and I will try to figure out how to make it to one of your solo concerts...

I hope and pray that you have a solo concert in 2011 in MI so that I can see just you! I love the homecomings, I just was sad that the GVB has expanded and I felt like I didn't hear much from you because of the other guy that has joined...Either way, I was very blessed by your performance!

From Hawaii!

Hey Phriends,

I'm sitting here on the ship looking out a big window at God's beautiful creation.  I was going to stay in my room today and "shalax" as the gangstas say but I had to find an Internet connection.  They are waiting on my approval of the last few mixes for the upcoming Christmas DVD, Christmas with David Phelps! (This is now the official title.)  It is sounding so good and everyone that's seen it has commented that it might be the best video I've done.  What a great compliment.

 

One reason I love it is because it's primarily "unplugged".  We had Danny on upright bass (he is truly amazing), live strings and vocals.  Q played his heart out on a hollow-body guitar, and my sis, Kari, rocked on the trumpet.  Of course, there is Joy, Joy with the Christmas tree at the end, as well—that turned out very cool.

 

Anyway, we will be pre-selling those one the web site very soon, so get ready to order your copy.  It’s coming out on the Gaither label and we’ve been promised that we will be able to get the pre-orders mailed out before the dvd is released to the general public on October 5th.  We’ll also be taking pre-orders at the Labor Day Barn Bash and showing a sneak peek of it at one of the evening shows.

 

Speaking of the LDBB, we have been so blessed by the response.  At the rate it’s going, it looks like tickets will probably sell out next week sometime!  We’ll be making the final arrangements when we return to the mainland.  Jack and Sherri will be in the studio with me laying down some vocals for the new recording, David Phelps and Sweetwater upon our return next week.  I’ll give you more info on that in the near future; but we are working hard to get a few songs ready to be debuted at the LDBB.

 

Back on board…Hawaii is so beautiful.  Tonight the boys and I are excited because after dark the ship is cruising past an active volcano!  Word has it that we’ll be able to see the lava flowing down into the ocean.  AWESOME!  Like my own little Discovery Channel.

 

The concerts have been really great so far.  I always like the cruise concerts because we can’t get in to a rut.  Every one is different.  Last night’s was so funny.  Mark was in rare form talking about how the ship food “stoves” him up.  In the middle of Buddy Green’s classical harmonica medley, Buddy said “now for movement number 2”.  Mark jumped in with, “that’s what I’ve been praying for for 3 days!”  Gordon made fun of Bill, Kevin made fun of me; I made fun of Buddy.  My sides still hurt from laughing.

 

Yesterday my family and I rented a car on the island of Maui.  We drove to the town of Lahaina and ate fish and chips looking over the ocean.  We walked down the street to see the biggest Banya tree in the world; it takes up almost an entire acre.   It was pretty amazing to see the roots shooting out everywhere to support new branches. (Insert spiritual metaphor hereJ)Then we stopped at a beach and let the kids swim in the Pacific.  I took some video and almost got sad thinking how time passes so quickly.  Enjoy every moment!

 

This brings me to something I want to do on the forum.  I thought of this yesterday and I love when we do these things.  I’m going to start a post on the boards and here’s what I would like it to be for specifically…

 

As you go through the next few days, keep your eyes open for a moment you want to remember—maybe it’s with your husband or wife, your children, co-worker, friend, or maybe someone you don’t know at all.  Then I want you to record it on the forum post, “Something I might have missed had I not been looking for it”.   It could be something for which you are thankful, something you find humorous, touching, uplifting or even heart-breaking--just something that made you “feel” that you don’t want to forget.  When I can slow down and do this, it never fails to make me more aware of God’s hand all around me, and in turn I am more secure, grounded and thankful.  I hope you have a good time with this.

 

While proofreading this, Lori just told me she read a great book recently that is based around this general theme.  It is called The Noticer by Andy Andrews.  I love his writing.  I haven’t gotten to it in my stack of books awaiting me but she says it is WONDERFUL and would highly recommend it!  Whether you read the book or not please become a noticer of the things around you and report back to us on the forum.  Looking forward to reading your observations and different takes on life around you.

 

I’ve gotta go get ready for the concert.  You know I love ya,

dp

Hello from Canada
My husband and I were on the carribean cruise in Feb 2009 and we were so blessed.
It was our first cruise. 2 months after arriving back from our wonderful exciting week on the ship with everyone,my husband was killed in a head on collision in a car accident.
The memories and the pictures taken with alll the singers on board keeps me going, to know that it was one of the most exciting and blessed time in our lives.Thanks for the wonderful memories and your voice that God has blessed you with.God Bless and I love to hear and watch you sing.Charlene Pretty

Hi I just joined your website. Let me start by saying what a true gift God has given you. I still get chills everytime I hear your rendition of O Holy Night...of course, many other songs that you have sung as well. I don't usually comment on these things, I usually just read what other people post, but when I say your "assignment" about noticing things, something came to mind immediately...I was having dinner with my 13 year old daughter, and I was moved to tears to think how God has blessed me, sometimes when we get busy in our lives, we don't stop to count our blessings...she shared with me how she befriended a boy at her Christian school who was new this year and has a disability that makes the other kids not want to be friends with him, she told me that she invited him to sit at her table with her and her friends because he was sitting alone or with the teacher...I know I expect more because she does go to a christian school, but that is a place where Satan loves to attack!!!My point is how proud I am as a mom to see God's love and graciousness in my child...that is something that I will never forget...Jesus loves the little children...ALL the children of the world. God Bless you and your family...By the way, when are you going to head up to New England area!!!! we are needing our David Phelps/Gaither Vocal Band concerts up here too!!!!! :o)

David and Lori, Thanks once again for having us at your home for the 2010 Barn Bash. I know it takes a lot of preparation to accommodate so many people. How gracious for you to trust us enough to put on this great event at ""The Barn;" and I know for this phan, the excitement of the evenings made lifetime memories. Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your family/phamily. The music was phantastic as always I hope we were able to bless your lives in return for the blessings you have been to ours. I am now awaiting the arrival of the second Christmas DVD of which I was very privileged to be a part. I look forward to your new projects. I hope you will seriously considering recording your encore song at the Barn Bash that talked about "home". It was simply beautiful. I also look forward to the release of a CD by Sweetwater. You, Sherri, and Jack make great music together.

May God continue to bless the Phelps family as you continue to minister to so many people.

You are my favorite singer in the world, and would like to see if you liked it enough to cut it for me. If so, send me an email : ssn@xit.net

Thanks for sharing your incredible talent!!! Hope to see you in Amarillo on October 23.

I find lots off small things to marvel at when I'm with my grandson. He sees things that I don't. I'll never forget when he was about 4 years old . We were walking through a parking lot on our way to something important I'm sure. When all of a sudden he pulls on my hand and say 'Grandma, look at the rainbow!'. I looked up to the sky but didn't see a thing when he said 'No, not up there! Down here!' He was looking at a small oil spill from a car that had parked there. It was beautiful! We looked at it for quite awhile. It didn't seem to be so imporatant to hurry anymore!

Hi David,
Just read your comments about Maui. It is our favoirite place to visit in Hawaii. I could just see the Banyan tree, hear the ocean, feel the breeze and smell the fresh aiir. So glad that you had a wonderful cruise. Wish I could be with you at the Barn Bash...not this year...maybe next. We are getting ready to go to Germany for the Passion Play....but after that I can't wait to see you in Dayton, Ohio on Nov. 6th. It will be the best 85th birthday present for my mom. Just pray for good weather to fly from NH to OHio.

Prayers for a wonderful weekend.

hi just joined your Phelps Theatre. I met you and saw you sing in person in the Gospel Music association, Music in the Rockies 2004. My name is edward granadosin and a tenor myself. I just want to tell you how you have blessed and influenced me in my singing. I am a preachers kid and have been in the ministry since I was 5. Before our Dad gives the sermon we do a mini Concert for the church. You have an annointed gift and like Bill Gaither said, you are the best tenor that the Gaither band ever had. God bless you and pray for your ministry. I hope I can watch you again.

David, so glad that you and your family have had such a wonderful time in Hawaii. Yes we need to take notice of all the wonderful thinks happening around us every day. Listen to your music has made me realise how wonderful really is. I pray for your family dailyand know that God will lead in every decision that you and Lori have to make. I am not priviledged to attend your singing tours because of living so far away. Living here in the Bahamas it gets very costly to fly and travel to most of them but love the cd and dvd. Gods richest blessings be upon you and guide your steps and may you always hear his voice speaking to you. Much Prayers for you all. Kathryn

David: i agree with you fantastic things happen when you're not paying attention. I'll say my special moment this weekend was when my grand son truned to me and told me "I wuv you Grammie". He's 3 1/2 and not wanting to take naps any more. Every once and a while he gets away with it when visiting us. Satuturday was one of those days. But come dinner time he was fading fast. That's when he turned to tell me what every grandparent wants to hear. Though I must admit I would not have missed it when it happened.

He's 3 1/2 and not wanting to take naps any more. Every once and a while he gets away with it when visiting us. Satuturday was one of those days. But come dinner time he was fading fast. That's when he turned to tell me what every grandparent wants to hear. Though I must admit I would not have missed it when it happened.

Well, you said to post our experiences on the forum boards when you open a new topic for it, so I'll wait -- but I did have just such an experience this week.
And yes, I've read The Noticer, too.
I'm so glad you're having wonderful times on your trip.

Hey you ;)

I'm so thrilled about all the new & exciting things happening for you and the crew! :) So we're really going to see a sneak peak of the new Christmas DVD? I cannot wait!!!

Regarding the "assignment".....I kind of had that happen to me the other day. I was coming home from work, and the neighbor boy comes running up to me. "Gretchen! Gretchen! Is there anything I can help you with?" I couldn't think of anything at the moment, but I thanked him for asking. He said "you're welcome. I read it in the Bible that I'm supposed to help my neighbors." Amazing! :)

Thank you for everything you do for your phans. I don't know of anyone else in the music industry that cares about their phans so much! I'm glad I'm a phan :)

luv u 2!

We took our 12 yr. old granddaughter to see you in concert in Orlando last year. She loved you as much as we do! We notice that on your website is has December 18 as the tour in Orlando - but Gaither Net and shows that Dec. 18 is in Jacksonville, Florida. We alread bought 6 tickets for Dec. 18 in Jacksonville. You are the best and we are looking forward to seeing you again - in Jacksonville on Dec. 18!

Working on Christmas in the Barn DVD

Hey Phriends,
I've been here in the studio for the last few days working on completing the second half of the Christmas shoot, "Christmas in the Barn".  We are all so excited to get it completed and in your hands!  The more I view it, the more I'm amazed at what an amazing backdrop for the video you guys were.  I wanted to do it in the round for that reason.  Before we filmed in the barn, I had seen an old Elvis comeback concert.  There were no frills, just him in the round.  You could see all the audiences' faces the entire time.  It gave you a real sense of the spirit and electricity of the evening.  I get to see your expressive faces every night we perform.    You give back to me as much as I deal out!  It's been really great to share that with the world.  You're right there with me on every note.  

The band played incredibly well that night even though much of the material in this second half was new or new arrangements.  Jack and I watched the rough cut and when it was done, he said, "I think this is going to be the best video we've ever done."  I think he might be right.

I hope you are all having a great summer--it's a hot one here.  Back to the grindstone...
Soon,
dp

David, Loved the first Christmas in the Barn and cannot wait to get the second part. You are absolutely right about the energy and excitement from doing this project in the round. I was privileged to be at the 1968 Elvis Comeback Special you spoke about. I was 16 and a friend and I happened to the Burbank Studios one saturday. We were approached by a man in a limosine wanting to know if we wanted free tickets for a show that night. We questioned who, but was not given any info. We took them, unsure about what to do. On way back to our car a parking attendant asked what the man said, we told him and he responded that the man in the lino was Col. Tom Parker, Elvis' manager and the tickets were for a private audience. We were so excited, we got permission from parents and went. WHAT A TOTALLY AWESOME EXPERIENCE, ONE I WILL NEVER FORGET. The atmosphere was amazing, you felt like Elvis was singing just to you. You felt like you were a vital part of it all. Elvis was,to me, in his prime then. He was very happy and totally relaxed. Priscilla was there and like was good for him. So, David - what a wise and wonderful concept you are using and you also draw the people in and make them feel connected. I would absolutely love to have been a part of that night - as Christmas in the Barn was filmed. God Bless you!

It sounds kinda funny to work on a christmas DVD when it's just summer. But thinking of it, I did the same thing as a kid in my choir where we used to record a cristmas CD in summer. As a 6 year old singing a solo about the birth of christ when it's summer.
Can't wait for that DVD to come out ( even though I'm afraid it will be later in Holland).Good luck and His blessings in anything you do!!!!

David, it has been a while. I am a big phan
of Elivs also and love the comeback special
I lived about 25 miles from Graceland my dad
pastored a church just outside Memphis so I
was raised on his music. I now live in the Bahamas and still watch Elvis. I am waiting
for you to record some of his music especially
Blue Hawaii. Someday your phans in the Bahamas will make it to one of your tapings
how exciting that will be and hopefully a barn
bash. Love you love your music we are all over

Hello from Norway!

Hey Priends!

I thought I would take a moment to update you on our European tour.  Many of you know things were kind of touch-and-go for a while vocally.  Tuesday, May 25th, before Gaither Family Fest I caught a virus and I completely lost my voice.  In over 20 years of singing professionally, I’ve never had this happen.  No matter what I did, I just couldn’t get it to work.  I had to miss the Vocal Band performance during Family Fest almost entirely.  On the last night, I apologized to the crowd and they were very gracious. 

 

When I returned home, I went to the Vanderbilt Voice Clinic in Nashville to see my doctor.  When they looked in my throat, they were shocked!  I had an infected vocal cord.  They said it’s very rare, but easily fixed. Although I was on medication, it turned out to be the wrong kind.  So, I got on the right meds and started my recovery. 

 

Not the worst thing to happen in the world, but very bad timing.  We were scheduled to fly out to begin our European tour two days later.  After praying it over, Lori and I decided that I should go ahead and leave as scheduled.  I thought I would rather be over here ready to go as soon as I could than wait around home.  On Friday before the first concert I went to a vocal doctor in Norway.  He was very helpful and so kind.  He confirmed I was going in the right direction.

 

Well I’m happy to report that I haven’t had to cancel any concerts!  And, I’m getting better every day.  I was just very careful and was on a lot of vocal rest.  This was such an answer to prayer for all of us.  We’ve been looking forward to this for a long time.  We’ve had three great concerts so far and the people have been extremely gracious.  As a matter fact, the last two nights they called us back for two encores.  I thought they were done, but they kept chanting, “We want more!”  Crazy!  We feel so loved.

 

It reminded me of one of the nights when the GVB was over here last fall.  One night after we finished, the crowd started chanting, “No More Night!  No More Night!”  I was so honored and went out and sang the song for them.  Later, on the bus to the hotel, someone brought it up.  Ernie Hass spoke up and said, “You know, I think you heard them wrong.  They were actually chanting, ‘No more tonight!  No more tonight!’”  That’s been the running joke since then.

 

We had a much-welcomed day off today.  We were able to walk around the beautiful town of Haugesund, here in Norway, and shop a little bit.  Then, we all had dinner with some friends here.  Tomorrow morning we are off to Oslo for the concert tomorrow night.

 

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.  I’ll try to update you again in a few days. 

 

Soon,

DP

Hi, David and group that came to Vancouver. My husband, son and some friends were so happy we could make it to your concert. The tickets were given to me by my son for a birthday present as he knows how much I appreciate your songs, your presentation and the Spirit of God working in and through you. That night was special in my heart and knowing that you have struggled with your voice lately made it especially wonderful as the Lord gave you a real message to give that night. May the Lord continue to heal you and give you the ministry you desire. God bless. Dorothy

Have to share this with you and then if you choose, you can share it with the others. The other day I was cleaning my house and I had your cd's, GVB cds, Guy's, and Charlotte R.'s cds playing randomly...and yes, the volume was turned up, windows were open and I'm singing along . I'm cleaning away, doing my thing, and then I had to stop singing to answer the phone. You would not believe what took place next! I stopped singing, but just outside my window I heard voices still singing....thought to myself " hum...is this in my head? am I hearing things?". So as I'm on the phone I go look out my window and there are 3 kids sitting up against my house singing too. I have no idea who these kids are, but they were enjoying the music too. I got off the phone and went outside to where they were sitting, and invited them into my house. To make a long story shorter, we spent hours listening to music and then I put in videos and they just ate it up. I must say when I put in the DVD of Guy's Best Of and you all sang Knowing You'll Be There, the one gal just busted into tears...she had just lost her mom. Anyway, I share this story because I want you all to know that your gift in music has not only brought my life back around to Jesus, but others we don't always know are there. Since then, those kids have come bck to my house and we have listened to more music and watched more DVDs. I'm going to need more music soon =)

Hello David,
I am so glad that your voice is getting better. Visus' like to attack the vocal chords and getting the right meds is so important. God has given you such a gift and HE wants you to continue sharing that gift with others.

I was able to go to the show in Portland, ME and was blown away. It was my first GVB concert. Well...yesterday I was able to book a flight to Ohio to go to the Nov. concert in Dayton. I will be bringing my mother who turns 85 in Dec. I am so excited to tell her next week when we visit. She has been such an inspiration and example of a wonderful Christain lwhile raising 6 children!

Looking forward to hearing your wonderful voice in Nov. and seeing the rest of the show.

May God continue to bless you and strengthen your voice, the GVB and your family.

Dear Brother in Christ,

You are so blessed with your talent to sing so great and to reach out to the people with the happynews.
Tonight I have been to your concert in Schiphol Rijk, with my wife.
And man, you just blew me away with your opera piece...WOW!
I shook your hand when you walked by..and later took a pic with you.
I had a super night.
Lateron I saw you at the stage after the show and things..I was thinking, shall I walk up to you to have a chat....
But , I thought...nah... maybe you wouldn't like that... so I went home.
I could tell you such great things on how my journey to Jesus started... and maybe light you up with some more fire.
But I would like to just say,...man you rock!
And God must be real proud of you, I know I would be with a child like that.

God bless you and yours,

Martien Brantenaar, Holland.

Dear David - beloved of God - we were at your concert in London last Sunday and we were totally blown away by the presence of the Lord as you sang. It's not just the beauty of your voice that He has gifted you with, but your sincere passion for Christ that affected us all three so deeply. My son Joe, (13) was truly impacted by the evening and my husband was almost drunk with the anointing of God that shone through every note! THe fact that you were so gracious as to come out and meet people and even be so willing to be photographed were all a testimony to the grace of God which is upon your life. We commit to pray for you and stand in agreement with you for total healing. Thanks for being so faithful to God's call on your life and for being a blessing to so many. PLEASE COME TO LONDON AGAIN SOON! In Christ - Helen, David and Joseph Owens.

David, God is good! He restored your voice. Praise the living God! On a different note, your phans would like to request if you could please make sure "There is a River" from the Australian Homecoming is included in the upcoming Best Of DP GVB. No one could sing the song like you, it's heavenly. Can't wait to hear all the sustained high notes in full voice that only you can create. WOW! The tape will be a best seller. Thank you very much in advance.

Thanks for a fantastic concert in Oslo last night. Can see that you are an artist with a great love for Jesus Christ. It is as you say that without Jesus, the concert would not given the same meaning. Praise Jesus, He is our King! Amen!

Have you ever thought what it would be like for DP to lose his voice? No doubt God is a merciful and awesome God. He knew the ppl from Norway needed to hear these songs. God bless you David!

Hello David:

So glad to hear you are doing better. Your
Bahamian Phans have been praying for you.
We pray you will stay strong and in good health
I could not help but think of your song I listen to
so often, "God Will Take Care of You" and we
know this is trus He is Faithful. So, continue to
lift Him up on your tour as I am sure there are
so many that are hurting and looking for answers. I loved your comment on the Family Fest video when you said next year you would probably be the most healthy one on stage.
This was great.! We love you here in the islands. Be Blessed:

New Band Members...

We are in the studio today rehearsing with our new drummer and violin player.  Chris is still a part of our band family, but he is on another tour that has taken him away for a while.  Many of you know Greg Ritchie from his work with Gaither.  We are so excited that he is now touring with us as well!  He is a long-time friend and an excellent musician.  He’ll be starting with us on our European tour and he’s doing an amazing job.  With 40 or so songs to learn, I’d hate to be him right now.  Today we’ll be trying to overload his brain.  I’ll let you know when he snaps. 

 

Also, with her new family and baby, Andrea is taking some time off.  She’ll still be working for us in the booking office, but she needs some time with that beautiful boy.  So Alida Osterlin will be touring with us as our violin player.  I can’t wait to introduce her to all of you.  She is excellent.  She’s gonna be on overload, too, but she’s catching up quickly.  I’m excited for you to hear what she brings to the concerts.  She will be starting with us in Europe as well so the next couple of weeks will be packed with rehearsals.

 

While we are getting ready for the upcoming EU trip, I’m also wrapping up the mixes on the new GVB recording.  We’re getting close to being finished and I can’t wait for you to hear the songs.  We’re all very proud of this project.  It’s taken nearly a year to finish it.  We wanted it to be really special so I hope you love it.  I go on Monday to work on the last few mixes.  It’s always exciting to hear the final product of each song we have built piece by piece.  I think we’ll be singing these songs for years to come so they have to be great!

 

Many of you know we filmed a new Gaither Homecoming video this week.  I think it was the most emotional shoot I have been a part of.  It was all centered around Thanksgiving.  The stories and songs were amazing.  The GVB did four songs from our new recording.  Two of them we recorded with string quartet.  They were very worshipful moments.  Then at the end of the day, when I was all worn out emotionally and physically, Bill asked me to sing “Bring Him Home.”  I thought, “You’ve got to be kidding!”  It was truly an amazing day.  I loved seeing so many of my friends and fellow artists that I hadn’t seen in years.

 

I took most of yesterday off and took my family to the park to have a picnic and ride bikes.  We had a great time.  By the way, I remember riding bikes as a lot more fun when I was a kid.  It’s pretty hill-y here in Tennessee.  Down-hill is awesome, but it’s just filled with the dread of knowing that I’ll have to get back up the next hill.  The kids had a blast, though—definitely worth it.

 

Well, I’m going back to rehearsal.  I hope you all have a blessed day.

 

See ya soon,

DP

I am from a small country named Finland, in Europe. I was last year in Norway listening to GVB and next month I am on my way to Sweden, Mullsjo ( June 21 ). My biggest wish is to hear you sing " End of the beginning " so please can you do that? I am begging you. My family and friends are all going to be there. We are all big phans of you. and we love your voice. God Bless You.

David, I absolutely love your voice. I love your solo work but I really LOVE what you bring to GVB. I told you at the Macon concert that I get to listen to you guys and worship while I'm at work. (In between customers anyway). Thank you for giving your talent back to God. I am so blessed by you and the others in the band.

Hi David:

Wow! so good to hear from you. Your
Bahamian phans began to wonder where you were since the on-line chat, but knew you were probably somewhere working on music.

We can't wait to hear all the new music coming out we know it will be beautiful and uplifting.

So glad you got to be with your lovely wife and kids sounds like you had a wonderful day together.

We see the GVB will be in Estero, Florida in December. Your Bahamian phans are working on being there and can't wait to hear your beautiful voice and, hopefully, get to meet you.
God Bless

Thanks for the updates David. Sounds like you and the band will be really busy. Will be praying for y'all. I've read alot about the taping Tuesday in Nashiville on gratitude and thankfulness. Can't wait for the video. Also heard that Michael sang a little, although he isn't 100%. Glad he is better, but still praying cause I know he still struggles with not being able to sing as he wants. I was in Monroe and Ft. Worth last weekend to hear the GVB. Enjoyed meeting you and hearing all the guys. The 2nd half of Ft. Worth was amazing, especially when Eva Mae's son spoke and sang. The Spirit was definitely moving. The GVB's song with you in the lead to finish off the concert was incredible. Thanks for the time you give and your availability to God. God has used you and the guys in many ways for his service. God Bless!

A note from Lori

Hello Phriends~ I have been in my flower beds working a lot the last week or two. I love to garden. I do my best thinking in the garden. If only I could actually get to all the things I plan! I do think one of my "bright" ideas of late is achievable with a little help from you, my phriends.


I would like to have a Phelps Phan Phriendship Phlower garden! Anyone that has a bulb/plant/seed that you would like to share from your yard I would so love to have you send it to me. I have an area I want to dedicate to this specific garden. We are in zone 7 and the bed has both shade and full sun areas. If you choose to send something for the garden please don't go buy a plant just to participate. I really want it to be something from your yard that will work with my zone. It would really be cool to share a start from great aunt Bertha's heirloom rose, a bulb from grandmother's lillies, or some seed from your state flower. You get the idea, I'm sure.


When sending me your contribution for the garden, please label the item with name of plant, what type of light it needs, and your name as well. I would like to mark all the plants, if possible, so that when you come to the Labor Day Barn Concert, you can see our beautiful Phelps Phan Phriendship Phlower garden and know which plants were sent and by whom. I love a good story, so if there is one behind your entry, I would love to know it!


So, to recap, if you would like to participate please:

1. Label entry with YOUR name, PLANT name, lighting needs and any story.

2. Put plant or bulb in a wet paper towel and a ziplock bag and then a mailer or box. An envelope will be fine for seeds.

3. Mail to: Lori Phelps P.O. Box 128 Culleoka, TN. 38451


I am sooooo looking forward to seeing what treasures you send my way. Thanks for venturing with me on one of my crazy notions!

Lori


P.S. If you aren't a flower person, have no fear, I am sure I will come up with another "bright" idea while puttering around in the garden... one that will include YOU as well!

Hey David, I absolutely love your new website. It is a "very" cleaver idea and it is beautiful as well. You are so cute (I'm old enough to be your Mom) so I can say that. I am soooo glad you are back with the Vocal Band and the 5 of you are the greatest--without a doubt. I can't wait until August for I'll be going on the cruise to Hawaii with you guys. I look forward to anytime that I can see you perform for you are definitely in a league of your own--just as Anthony Burger was. There is NO ONE that can compete with you two. You are the greatest, just as Anthony was. I'll see you in August.
Love to you and your family.

I am a new new fan and love your voice, I say you are the male equivalent of Sandi Patti. Please tell Bill that we, your fans want you to sing 2 or more solos in every vocal band/homecoming concert. Does bill has a blog site where we can tell him that? Please let us know. We like when you sing lead also. You should have been the lead singer. We love and miss Guy but glad to have you back. Hope your ministry will be more than what you envisioned it to be in the next few years.

Hello Lori

My name is Sonja I live in Nassau Bahamas
I love the idea of your garden. I would love
to send something from the island , however, there are strict laws here regarding
sending out rare plants, etc., so I am so sorry
as we do have the most beautiful flowers.

I would love to send our official Bahamian flower the "Yellow Elder"or perhaps seeds for
our georgeous "Hibiscus" . I know your garden
will be lovely. Someday hope to get to see it, maybe in September.

What a beautiful idea, Lori! We have hollyhocks that have been blooming for our family for a couple of generations now, and I will harvest some seeds from them after they bloom this summer to add to your project. Please be sure to leave your address for this project on the blog here, because it will be a few months before I can harvest seeds to send. What a lovely garden spot this idea of yours will create!

Lori. What a beautiful idea. You and David are so caring about his phans it is unbelieveable.

I know of no other performer who would go out of their way to make fans feels to happy to be associated withthem..

i would love to send a piece of my beautiful rose bush but have no idea how to do that. I know it can be done, but I will have to find out how to do it. It blooms from June to late fall and has the most wonderful blossoms and scent. If I can cind out how to do this, I will be send you a starter rose bush.

We love you Lori and thank you so much for sharing YOUR David with all of us. God Bless.

I saw you in concert in Anniston, AL, in Dec. '09. I came up to you afterwards with my husband & told you how many people you touched at my son'e funeral, because the last thing we did was to play your "No More Night" just before we took our son away from the funeral home to the cemetery. I wanted him to go out with rejoicing and praise. My son had been gone 5 years, and I had prayed 5 years for the chance to say thank you for your gift of song, praise, and hope. God bless you. Nan Waddell

Nessun Dorma? In English, please.

Welcome Video



The song, Nessun Dorma, has sparked a lot of questions about the meaning of the lyrics over the past year.  Since it’s in Italian, each night many of you come to the table and ask me to give a brief translation.  I’ve had the opportunity to perform it nightly and it is truly an amazing piece of art.  I’m still honored to sing it.



The aria is from an opera titled, Turandot by Giacomo Puccini.  Below I have included the English translation of the aria, Nessun Dorma, and a short description of the events leading up to it in the story.  It might be nice to know about what I’m singing next time you listen.

____________________________________________
 

In the act before this aria, the cruel and emotionally cold princess then decrees that none of her subjects shall sleep that night until the name of her suitor (Calaf) is discovered. If they fail, all will be killed.  As the final act opens, it is now night. Calaf is alone in the moonlit palace gardens. In the distance, he hears Turandot's heralds proclaiming her command. His aria begins with an echo of their cry and a reflection on Princess Turandot:

"Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o Principessa, nella tua fredda stanza, guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore, e di speranza!"  (English translation: "None shall sleep! None shall sleep! Even you, O Princess, in your cold bedroom, watch the stars that tremble with love and with hope!")

"Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me; il nome mio nessun saprà! No, No! Sulla tua bocca lo dirò quando la luce splenderà!"  ("But my secret is hidden within me; none will know my name! No, no! On your mouth I will say it when the light shines!")

"Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio che ti fa mia!"  ("And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!")

Just before the climactic end of the aria, a chorus of women is heard singing in the distance:

"Il nome suo nessun saprà... E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir, morir!"  ("No one will know his name... and we will have to, alas, die, die!")

Calaf, now certain of victory, sings:  "Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò!"  ("Vanish, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win! ")

Love your new layout! I recognized the Lobby immediately--spent a lot of hours watching movies here during my growing up years, including, but not limited to "A Hard Day's Night" and "Help". Enjoyed your live chat--glad to see you include Lori in it. You know that behind every good man, there's a "gooder" woman. Looking forward to your next concert in Ashland, Ky. God's Peace and Blessings!

David, Your music and that of Marshall Hall has brought me through so many hard days . When my partner died two years I thought my life would end. But my faith in God and my gospel music roots brought me through. God has proven to be my rock and security in all the storms of life. That is why I chose as my screen name, lovethatwillnotletmego.
Hope to see you in Portland ME this month. I love in MA but am driving up. I missed the Homecoming in Worcester.
My love and best wishes to you and your family.
David

Hi David.
Love the new website! Especially the sparkles! The Tour page didn't show anything but I'm guessing Australia still isn't on the agenda, right? You know how much we love you and the band and the whole Homecoming team over here, so any chance of whispering in Bill's ear and getting us on the schedule? We promise to only feed him food that will bless his tummy!
God bless you for the joy you bring to so many people with your amazing instrument! Can't wait for the Best of!
Love,
Imelda and Graham Gilmore,

Hello David,
Just wanted to tell you about a situation regarding the European Tour.
We are so glad you chose to come also to Romania. But here is the thing, the tickets are 3 times more expensive to the event in Bucharest than the others. Who is planning this event? Are you aware of this? Considering our country is one of the poorest o Europe, it would be good, at least to be the same price for the other countries.
Thanks

Well, as some have commented - gosh, it was good seeing you, happy birthday fought for it and what other ... I no had the opportunity to meet you and is it necessary? HASHUAHSUHAUSH! [Laughing] I think so. His songs are very beautiful and the rhythms, but goes beyond the letter. I have not met you, but I believe that will happen one day. I'll wait.
As you can see I have much to say ... I did not have the experience to know or take a picture or talk to you. I'm from Brazil ... if I mistake not only had a show here, did not know the songs of David and did not even know it existed .... But today I know, but do not know when it will have another show here. It would be a good that has and would be even better if it was in Recife.
Bye, it was nice to share something strange with you.

Changing the Tires

Hey Phriends! Just thought I'd take a moment and catch you up to date. It has been a wonderful year so far. The Gaither Vocal Band is rocking every night. It is really cool to be on stage again with Mark and Bill and for the first time with Wes and Michael. We've all gotten very close in a short amount of time. We have the greatest conversations on the bus and it never fails that I think about what was said all day long. Sometimes it's about our own journeys--sometimes it's about others--but God always makes His way into the story. There is a real giving and respectful spirit among us and I think it comes across on stage as well. I can't wait each night to see what each of them is going to do. We just finished a two-day event in Ft. Worth that was really magical. I think we all agreed that "It Is Finished" was our best performance yet. It's still overwhelming to stand behind Bill Gaither as he starts, "There's a line that's been drawn through the ages..." Their writing is truly epic. One of the best things about being back with them is that they appreciate my dry, sarcastic sense of humor. I remember the weekend in 2000 they came on the bus and it was announced that they had received ASCAP's Songwriter of the Century award. My response was, "So what have you done this century? It's time you stop resting on past successes." Or when we all got into a rental car in Charlotte, NC. The car door alarm bell was ringing on one pitch--ding, ding, ding, ding . . . I said, "Bill, that sounds like one of your melodies--Get all excited go tell everybody that..." One time we all went out to eat a great meal. The waitress asked, "Will this be on separate checks or on one.?" I responded with, "You can put in all on one and leave it with Bill. It will be easier for you that way." Russ Taff gets the brunt of it sometimes, too. A couple of week ago, he had a lady stand in my autograph line just to ask me where Russ' table was. I told her it was probably in the men's restroom. The next couple of nights we set up a merch booth for Russ in the first stall of the men's room. We finished the Ft. Worth weekend and instead of riding the bus home in the comfort of my bunk I drove all day Sunday. My family had been on vacation in Texas so they met me in Ft. Worth for the concerts. So I drove the family car home the next day. It was quite an interesting trip. I'm usually a driving Nazi on long trips--very few stops. I dehydrate the kids so they won't need to use the restroom and we drive through and grab quick food. But this time I resigned myself to hours in the car. We stopped at IHOP first thing. As we were leaving, a group stopped our car in the parking lot and told us how they loved the concerts and the new group. We made it all the way to Hope, AR before stopping again for gas. As I was filling up the car, a van pulled up to the next pump. They all filed out saying how much they loved the concert. I asked them if they were stalking us. We started again and got almost to Memphis before the drinks we had bought in Hope kicked in. I was coming out of the restroom when I heard, "David?" Now if someone else is coming out of the restroom and wants to shake hands I'm sometimes hesitant. But since I was the one exiting, well, why not. The guys from the Annie Moses Band were headed in. We spoke for a while and caught up. I thought, "What next?" Well, I should know never to ask that question. On the loop in Memphis we had a blow out. We made it to the side of the road and Lori immediately asked do you want me to call Triple A? "No," I sniffed, "real men change their own tires." (Unless they are by themselves. Then they call AAA.) It didn't happen as quickly as I had envisioned, but I still got it done without a lot of embarrassment. We finally made it home about midnight, grateful for spare tires and time off around Easter. Be sure and make time to come to one of the concerts this year--either solo or GVB. I would love to see each of you. And, if you get a chance, go visit the forums on the web site and share your story about your adventures on a family trip. Sometimes we just need to laugh. I pray each one of you has a wonderful holiday surrounded by your family celebrating the risen Savior and the hope He gives us! See you soon, David

Good for you who live near. You can see the concert any day.
For me, I live in Brazil is complicated. My dream is to one day see her concert and the GVB closely before I die.
David, I follow your work for 5 years and learned many good things, especially in music. You are a great example of a man of God. The songs are inspiring. When I hear your music feel God touching me.
GVB for me is the best quartet I ever heard. Even better than the quartets here in Brazil I know.
Singing tenor in a quartet of our city. There are several songs from GVB we use as musical reference.

Sincerely. God bless you.
Excuse the errors in language. I'm not good in English ... hehe
I keep in touch.

I am about to see your concert in Denton... I cannot wait!!! I have been deaf since an infant, and I know it is no coincidence that technology finally evolved enough that they make DIGITAL hearing aids for a hearing loss like mine, and I discovered your voice. What once was just a lot of low tones that made noise is now an AWESOME range of sounds I have never heard before. God answered my prayer that I could hear music ~ and I hear your voice keeping going higher and higher... I hear the angels singing with you :) Thank You Jesus /

Hey David!

I've been a huge huge Phan for years, but i'm only getting round to making an account now! Just writing to let you know that I was at the GVB concert in Belfast, NI last week, 22nd october, and thought it was phenomenal. I love the harmonies on the new album, especially Sinner Saved by Grace; spine tingling chordage throughout!

I'm a student and share a house with 15 other people, and in the build up to the concert I drove them all nuts with singing your music! I got them all converted though, they are in awe of the wonder that is 'the voice'. Two of my housemates came with me to the concert when my friends pulled out and they loved it (and you) too! I loved the new harmonies written for Worthy the Lamb, and the (I think) C5 you hit at the end of I then shall live. It was a 2 note change but it made my night, there was just such a wonderful power behind it!

I can't wait to see you next year when you come for the solo concert. Literally... can't wait!! I saw you last year in Bangor Elim and love the setup you have for the solo tours. I'm looking forward to seeing you then, and hopefully meeting you finally! I think I may have my housemates in tow as well!

Hope all is well on your side of the globe!
God bless,
Mark, 20, Northern Ireland.

Hey David!
This was actually a youth group outing we had. We were driving 3 hours north to a white water rafting place. There were 3 carpools of youth and everyone was following one car. Well about 1 1/2 hrs into the drive we turned onto an off ramp following the leader. So we called our leader and asked where he was going and he said he was still on the freeway. That's when we realized our mistake. It was the exact same car..but different people in it. lol So it took us 6 hrs to get 3 hrs away! VEERRYY long trip!! Well hope you enjoyed the story! Keep singing for God and may his blessings be constantly showering upon you and your family :)

God bless,
Alexandra

Hi, David my name is Candice, and I am a HUGE fan. Your voice is incredible. My story is kind of bittersweet, I guess because I'm just jealous... My family and I went on vacation in Myrtle Beach when my mom and I came to Gaitherfest about two weeks ago. We loved the concert by the way. After meeting you Friday night, I floated to our hotel room singing "He Touched Me" the whole way. My sister came in late after hanging out with her friends who were in town, and she climbs into bed, snuggles up close and whispers, "Guess what?" "What?" I asked. She replied, "I got on the escalator with David Phelps!!" I had to bite my bottom lip to keep from screaming. She told me her story of how she and her friends were looking at the tables after the crowd had cleared, and she saw you with your rolling luggage and a friend I guess. She and her friends got on the escalator behind you, and watched you walk through the club on the second floor, get on the elevator, and disappear. She almost followed you, but didn't want to seem like a stalker. I hope we cross paths again when you and GVB return to the states.
Praying for your safe return,
Candice

Hey, David. I just wanted to tell you a little story about the first time I met you. I don't remember the exact date, but it's been a while back. I went to the concert just because my parents were going. I heard you sing The End of The Beginning, and I was in awe. After the show, I raced to your table, I was the first one there. As I stood there waiting for you, I became extremely nervous. Then, someone put their arm around me. I looked over thinking it was my Dad, but it was you. I froze...I couldn't say anything. My Mom was there with me, and she of course did all of the talking. You signed an autograph for me, and you also signed your CD I bought. Since it was released in 2001, I had to of been 12 or 13. I am now 19, and I am still a huge fan. I got to see you a while after that, you sang Revelation, leaving me in awe again. Ever since hearing you sing that first time, I've had a completely different view on life. You are such a blessing, God bless you! Come back to Moline, IL soon!

Dear David,

I enjoyed your post, but wanted to write you on a different subject. I saw you in Fayetteville, NC this past Thursday night. It was a wonderful show and my cousin and I loved the whole thing, but I only came there because of a performance of yours on GMC a few weeks ago on a Gaither special about Heaven. I was channel-surfing, and in a bad place in my life, and happened to click on the channel as you were starting to sing "No More Night". I was overwhelmed by the song and your amazing voice. I grew up immersed in Gospel music and church and loving the Lord, but several years ago allowed some very sad events in my life to plant a seed of anger and bitterness toward God in my heart. It's a very long story, but hearing you sing that song melted a wall around my heart and I am trying to listen to God's voice again. I am praying for God to heal my family as well as my heart. I am married with 2 sons who mean everything to me and I am striving to let God's love touch them through me. I have been so very sad and conveying that sadness to everyone around me and now, I am coming out of the darkness.

I bought a cd/dvd set of yours and saw you kindly autographing for people but I was too nervous to speak to you as I thought I would start crying like a crazy person!! However, I thought you should know what an incredible work is being done in my heart and home, all initiated by a wonderful song you sang who-knows-how-long-ago for a Gaither special!!

Sincerely,
Kathy Hooper

Thanks for the post - it brings back many memories of car trips from Chicago to Iowa at holidays. My favorite was the ride back to my aunt's farm from my cousins "in-town" home. The car was packed with coolers and left-overs - and me in the back seat. No room for the coffee pot (half full - for morning!) - no problem. They put it in the back seat between my legs (so it wouldn't spill) I was 14. I am now 61 and our family parties stilll end with "now where is Jill, we have to take the coffee pot home..."

Welcome back to the GVB - love you solo and LOVE the GVB with you again! Won't they ever play in the Chicago area??? I last saw them in St. Louis (long drive).

God Bless you and your brood.

Mine just happened on Good Friday..Hmmm,,somehow that sounds like an oxymoron! Anyhow,,I left work Friday with my brake light on and an appointment to get them looked at early Saturday morning. As I was pulling out of the parking lot, I slowed down for the speed-bump (neccesary evil for many of us) and at the same time turned on the cd player and heard a "pop",,not thinking too much of it since the break light was on & I had turned on the cd player the sound just left me quickly..Well,,nearly 35 miles later and after traveling most of the way at 75-80 mph (I did say it was Friday and the beginning of a holiday weekend) a gentleman in a white pick-up truck pulled up next to me in the "fast lane" yelling "You got a flat tire" and pointing at my drivers side front tire! I said "Thank you", slowed down to about 55 mph, moved to the slow lane and sent up a quick "thank you for getting me this far, please get me the rest of the way home without my rim being damaged" prayer..3 miles later, I was in the driveway, my neighbor guy put my spare on & Saturday morning I went and purchased 2 new tires. Having never felt the slightest bit of pull, or the fact that I probably should have lost control of my van going that speed on a flat tire, my only conclusion is that it was divine intervention. Oh,,and btw,,it was just that my brake fluid was low so there was no cost for that,Thank God!!

David, thanks so much for taking the time to write. It's always great to hear from you. I'm so glad you're enjoying being back with the Gaither Vocal Band. I've been privileged to see you in Huntsville, AL, and Southaven, MS, and can't wait to see you again. You guys are doing a phantastic job!!

I enjoyed reading your "sarcastic" sense of humor stories, and also reading about your drive back home. I hope you "re-hydrated" the kids when you got there.LOL

I was sorry to hear about the blow-out (what a bummer), but was very impressed that you changed the tire.:):)

I'm glad you arrived home safely, and had a wonderful Easter.

Thanks again for taking the time to share a few tidbits of your life.

Update

Hi all you Phelps Phans out there... I just got back from a weekend out with the Gaither Vocal Band. I think anyone who saw me this weekend would have no doubt that I was having a blast. When Bill called and asked me to come fill in while Guy was out, I was more than happy to fill in. There's not much I wouldn't do for Bill. He's been an incredible mentor for me in life and in my career. So really the only challenge was making schedules work. they sent me the music right away, but I didn't get it until I returned from Australia. As I put the cd in the player I got a smile on my face. It was so great to hear those songs again and sing along...Alpha and Omega still gives me chills. The new songs are great too. I spent most of my time on those trying to learn lyrics. I met the bus in Nashville on Wednesday evening. It didn't take long for us to all hit it off again. Of course I am in touch with Bill from time to time, but haven't spoken to the other guys in a while. Kevin and I have always been kindred spirits...a little sarcastic and never at a loss for words. Marsh is one of the nicest guys I know and it was a real great chance to get to know Wes. We laughed until our voices were tired. This group of guys has to be one of the best Bill has had. After we stopped for dinner, outside of Nashville and then got busy rehearsing. I think our voices sounded great together. I haven't sung in a group like that since I left the GVB so it was a blast to jump in on a part again. Everyone has such a great mind for harmony and voicing--there's really not a weak link. We rehearsed for a couple of hours and went through 10 or 12 songs a few times. I really enjoyed switching parts with Marsh and Wes. We didn't do this when I was in the group--I was always on the tenor part. I liked singing the lead or even baritone part for a song or two. The first concert in Amarillo went pretty well. I started out with End of the Beginning just before the GVB came on. I have to admit that it felt pretty good to hear the crowd cheer when the music started. They said the Vocal Band set went well, but i was pretty much trying to hang on to lyrics much of the time. The other nights in Austin and Wichita Falls were much more relaxed to me. The fans made me feel so welcomed. No one threw tomatoes. In fact I got an, "I love you, David!" at a choice quiet moment. I guess you can't beat that. Anyway, I had a great time touching on a bit of nostalgia and reconnecting with old friends. I think I might have made some new Phans as well. I hope to see all of you, Phans new and old, this Christmas. We're already gearing up for the annual tour--brushing up on parts and pulling out some surprises too! We'll be featuring selections from the new video Oh Holy Night, but as you may know I love to add in some things you can only hear if you come out to a concert. So get your tickets now before the good seats are gone! Before I go, I have to tell you how much I appreciate your loyal support and prayers. You have been so great to keep spreading the word about my new projects and bringing in new phriends. You are truly the best fans anywhere! Blessings, dp

David Phelps tries to arrange a presentation here in Piracicaba city the state of Sao Paulo in Brazil! I admire your work and love your music! The DVD that I liked most was the Legacy of Love! The songs that were presented were very beautiful, especially the song Just As I Am! If a day comes into your head to try to come here in Piracicaba, let me know by e-mail, that I talk to the church here! I hope your answer! A big hug!

David,

I have always loved music and your version of O Holy Night makes me cry tear up every time that I hear it. During the holidays, I make it a point to set aside some time to listen to Christmas music and spend more time with God. Yours is the first and last in the play list. You have been blessed by God with such a wonderful voice and it is so nice to see you sharing that blessing with the world. A Blessed and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I wanted to comment on when you sing Alpha and Omega.... I heard you sing this in Jax FL in what must have been 2002. It is still a defining moment in my life . I have not heard a more glorious song in my 40 years on this Earth. When you sing this song solo it is such a sermon of praise! I have it with the GVB but....it is not the same. I am still prayerful that one day you will release it solo. I am trying to find tickets for your concert in MD for Christmas this year.... I pray YOU sing Alpha and Omega again this Christmas season. Your gift is truly a blessing from our wonderful loving God. Thank you for using it for Him.
With prayer for you and your family. God bless. ------Julie

Oi David phelps,
Sou um brasileiro, nascido na cidade de Belo Horizonte e um admirador do seu trabalho.
N?£o conhecia o seu trabalho at?© uns 4 anos, e depois de ouvir o album Revelation, meus conceitos de m??sica mudaram consideravelmente.
Suas m??sicas, sua voz, seu talento t?™m sido alguns dos motivos para me aperfei?ßoar como m??sico e querer me esmeirar e aprimorar mais o meu talento.
Parab?©ns pelo sucesso e continue sempre, cantando e encantando multid?µes com sua voz, m??sica e muito mais!

Besides that I want to thank you for the passion in your songs, the lyrics,

"Reads to me" that you were and are as touched by David's voice and music as I am.

I put my "feelings" out there in this venue just a few minutes ago, and before reading your comments. I couldn't help but write this after reading your entry. Even though it's longer than yours, you might like to read it.

How Blessed we are to Appreciate David, let alone simply be able to hear !! How Very Blessed are We !

I just read it ! Having attended the FEB 09 GVB concert in Huntsville, AL recently, I'm all pumped up again !!
Your comment that you STILL get chills when singing Alpha and Omega meant a lot to me. As for me, I get chills hearing you sing EVERY song.
Keep it up young man ! You're a gift from God to everyone who hears you. It's surely tough on you pumping out "the money notes" (I purchased the Reunion DVDs !), but ... Oh My; the lead-ups and "the building" of the songs that culminate in those wonderful "notes" are so magnificent, it makes a person smile ear-to-ear and, usually jump to his or her feet !! There's no thing and no one like you, Sir; You're The Man ! While I missed seeing Guy in Huntsville (I saw you both in San Jose in 2003), I'm so Blessed that I was able to hear you here in Huntsville, so excited in fact I had to tell my friends (portions of which follow). It's a bit long, but it's from the heart of this 65 year-old whom God has given The Gift of Music Appreciation:

"John,
I love to watch Bill Gaither's gospel singing show on the Huntsville PBS channel.
I always seem to get all wound up enjoying the singing. Often, my face hurts after watching; I wonder why, and deduce it's because I've been smiling so hard !!!
When I was living in California in 2003, I went to my first Gaither concert (in the arena where the San Jose Sharks play hockey). Being a solo attendee, I got a seat in the 4th row !!!!! That night, I heard David Phelps sing and was blown away, bought 4 CDs, shook his hand and told him "You're THE MAN !" He was very gracious.
I think I raved in an email about my experience, and you would have received it John (if I'm remembering correctly).
Well, last night I went solo to the VBC Arena for a Gaither live concert. Gaither had the Signature Sound and Gaither Vocal Band quartets & a couple others soloists.
I was not disappointed !!
I paid for a 6th row from the top nose-bleed seat at a 90 degree angle to the stage. The house went dark at 7:05 and the show was over at 5 minutes to 11 with a 30 minute intermission; we all received our money's worth !! I got so excited, I jumped up and down probably 5 times in the first half of the concert. We all received a little LED push-button lite (no more cigarette lighters !) to wave. I sure used mine.
Gosh, those guys can sing !!!

For the 2nd half, I went down to the mezzanine level walk-way where the rail is, so as to be closer, and my vantage point was from from the side and slightly behind. But it was where I wanted to be. I danced a little, praised God with uplifted arms a little, sang a little; you would have been proud !!!
So, about 30 minutes after the end of the concert (approx 11:30pm !!), I was able to get to Phelp's display in the hallway where his people were selling his stuff, he was shaking hands, allowing pictures, etc., just like I remember him doing in San Jose. Finally, I got to shake his hand, looked him in the eye, and said "I'm sure you remember me. I'm the guy that shook your hand after the San Jose, CA concert in 2003 and told you 'You're The Man.' Well, you're STILL The Man !!" He cocked his head a little in thanks, we laughed and I turned him over to next person waiting for him. I stood around for about 5 minutes watching him deal with the people, then slowly walked to my car in the cold night air, just thoroughly satisfied.

That's tedious stuff Phelps does after a concert night after night after a bunch of singing, but it's great he does it for his fan base. Everytime he sang, he brought the place down, I being one of the loudest, "overcome" lovers of his sound. It was just so exciting for me, I nearly wept a few times.
Gaither, in introducing a soloist towards the end of the concert (and who sang one song), told the crowd the soloist grew up "worshipping" Phelps (who sat right there on stage behind them) as the best singer in the world. Someone in the crowd yelled out very plainly, "He still is !!!!" and the whole place erupted in applause !! Phelps smiled from ear to ear !!!
On my way out in a thin crowd, I thought the guy in front of me looked familiar. He was there walking out with his girl and no other entourage, just a regular guy like you and me. I didn't approach him, but watched him and wondered what his life was like. He was the soloist that Gaither said liked Phelps so much. He sang his one song exceptionally well too, Phelps and Wes joining in at the end to everyone's joy.

There: I had to tell someone about it, someone that would appreciate the great experience I had. It would have been better if you had been there to share the joy with me !

Peace and Harmony my Brother !!

Hallo David,

I just read the journal, and was wondering, just WHAT made u think someone would throw tomatoes at u?

Anyway, jokes apart, I am VERY fussy while listening to music, and am unimpressed with today's latest musicians. We are very devoted to Gospel music & are indeed so glad to see such INCREDIBLY Beautiful music and those complex arrangements u create. But most of all, I am touched by the words u include that make every song a prayer.

Thank you, you help people pray.

Much love & prayers,
Rachael Alphonso,

This is Cynthia from India again. Miss your music so much and I have tried so much to have you call but am really sad and disappointed that your not so reachable. Here in India, we don't get to see you perform Live. But the least you can do is keep in touch with your phans in places you don't go. God has blessed you with such a gracious voice and all we can do is just watch you on You tube or listen to you on DVD. That's it. Please, please send me a mail at least. Hopefully some day before I leave this earth, I could at least see you in person.

God bless you and hide you behind the shadow of his cross and bless your family and ministry too!.....

Love

Cynthia

Hey David,
I wanted to thank you for a fabulous concert in West Des Moines Iowa.. You brought your magnificent music to our church, Hope Lutheran, and rocked the house...
It was the first night of your Christmas tour 2008 and you had a little trouble getting to us.. Something about a bad trailer hitch and you almost lost the trailer..
You were late getting to the church.. I think we really scrambled you all up when we did the sound check.. You all were so very patient with us..Thank you!
Anyway, I was one of the choir members that was so honored to sing with you that night..
I have followed you for many years, starting when you first sang with GVB and continued on with each or your solo albums.. I am so very inspired by you and the way you deliver a song. You have a very unique gift of speaking right to the heart.
I have never been so moved by anyone vocalist in my life.. Your ministries have brought me closer to Christ... Thank you Lord...
Thank you for sharing your gifts so graciously and humbly. You are so very blessed, and I am blessed by your gifts.
I wish you and your family a wonderful and peaceful New Year.
May God continue to bless you David..
In Christ

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble w/your friendship w/God. I hope that you will soon come to the place where you know that He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you. I don't know your circumstances. I can only speak from my own experiences. I've been quite angry at God myself before when it seemed He wasn't there for me. The sad reality is that He IS there, we just don't always get our way. I desparately wanted my cousin, age 54 to live after she had a sudden stroke. That's been 2 years ago, and it's still painful for me. I've also dealt w/all kinds of issues that are just plain wretched. But this earth is not our home, so we can't be expected to be truly happy here. Being a Christian, a friend of God, is not a promise to an easy road, simply a hope for the future based on faith in Jesus Christ. I hope you find your way back to your friend.
Blessings

I am not much of a fan kind of person. I love music and listen more for the words and meaning of a song than I do to the individual's voice or style of music.
A several months ago, my chuch had a little fine arts camp for the kids to give them something to do during the summer. My 10 year old granddaughter was part of the drama team that did a dowel rod drama to End of the Begining. I had heard the song before, but as I said earlier, I don't really pay attention to who is singing, just the song and what it is saying. The first time I heard that song I was blessed by it and told my family about it. I even wrote your name down when the radio announcer said who the song was by. (that is something I never have done before.)
When my granddaughter did the drama, her instructer told her to go on You Tube and search "Drama Stix" to see another group of kids who did the same thing. That was my introduction to You Tube and to your passion. After watching the drama, I put your name in the search and started listening to songs like The Singer, Virtuoso and Second Fiddle. My heart rejoiced. I was telling a friend about you and explained to her that your music has touched my heart in places it has not been touched in years.
I searched the web and found that you were going to be in Waco on Dec. !6th and I got tickets for me, my daughter and my best friend. They were pretty much just coming along for the ride because they knew how much I have talked about you, your music and your passion for Christ in the past several months.
We got there 2 hours early, coming down from Arlington I did not want any thing to get in the way on me sitting front and center to watch you perform. Yes, I had turned into a phan for the first time in my 53 years. We were first in line when the door opened and I got so sit where I had hoped to. You probably don't remember but I was the first person that raised my hand to sponsor a child in Africa after the first person took the child that you had with you.
Half way through the first portion, my friend leaned over to me and said that she now understood why I was so pumped about you and your music. Then you sang That's What Love Is. Every time I hear this I think of my friend who is a foster mom. She and her husband have had some very difficult children in their home and has NEVER given up on any of them. She has had feces thrown at her, she has been beat up, you name it, she has been through it, yet she has never asked for a child to be removed from her home. I told her what I thought when ever I heard this song and she started crying. At the end of the concert, you autographed one of the CD's that I purchased. There was so much that I wanted to tell you but you were busy and there was quite a line still waiting. I hope you don't think I was rude, because I did not really talk to you at all, just smiled and said thank you.
The day after the concert, my daughter told me that you touched her heart in ways that has not happened in a long time. I could not believe that she used almost the exact same words that I did when I was describing you.
David, thank you! Thank you for using the gifts that God gave you to glorify Him. You have helped me walk closer to Him through your ministry, the insight that you put in your songs,
and the passion that you have for Christ.
You are in my prayers,
Your newest phan

Hi there, my name is David Phelps.
I'm not really friends with God anymore because when I needed him he turned his back on me. I found comfort in smoking my pipe which I packed with puff and listening to the 80's break-beat music.

I must say you are incredible!! I just seen your Christmas Show on TBN, and I had to stop everything I was doing at that moment! Your voice was like a mighty angel sent from heaven above! I hate to say, I have never heard your music before, but I know you now, and I love your music. I'm buying your CD now, and will be a loyal fan going forward. I'm going to share your music with others. Hopefully you can make it to the Chicago area sometime in the near future. God Bless you and yours this Holiday season, and thank you for bringing a voice of peace at a time in my life that isn't so peaceful. You made my day and aided in refocusing my out look on God is always in control !!! Thank you

God Bless you,

It was so cool to hear they (GVB or Bill) invited you back. I am sure there was no one there not happy to see you back. Even if it was for a short time. How fun though.

There is sure a whole lot of Minnesotans who are hoping to see you again soon in the near future. I know it's cold here but its sure pretty...hehe.

We hope to see you again real soon..


Many blessings to you and your family

Shalom David.

Finally, I am able to post you a comment now on your site.
It's been my dream to share with you how I feel since the day I saw your videos in you tube, Men!!! I can't contain myself.

I'm from the Philippines, a Filipino phan of course.?ú
"No More Night" was the first videos I've watched. It really moved me to tears. I can't help myself but cry every time I hear that song. I just really love that song, even up to now. Actually I just downloaded some of your songs and videos to my PSP, and listened to them during past times. I am joining our church cantatas too, and sometimes I used to sing solo during our church service.

Well, I guess I don't have the luxury of the time for now. I hope you would be able to do a concert here in the Philippines. I will be looking forward to it and hope that we could meet..haha.. Our church is a member of Baptist International Outreach here in the Philippines.

God Bless to your upcoming concert tours.
Take care..

May the Lord continue to bless your ministry. I want to sing but had an accident. I hold a tune but not even close as you!

We just discovered you watching TBN with J. Crabb (sp?)...WOW - we were mesmerized by your voice, but particularly recognized your HEART! We can't wait to buy some albums, we're your newest Phans...at least for the next ten minutes...

So, looking over your calendar, we noticed a distinct absence of...sniffle...Florida concerts...
Um...where else does EVERYONE want to be at Christmas-time, but sitting back in a short-sleeved shirt with flowers all over it, catching some rays, drinking cold iced tea (or lemonade)and wiggling your toes in the sand??? ;)
Sigh...any chance you'll be down in the near future? I noticed a big hole in your schedule for the whole month of January?????? Kinda cold up there in January, y'know...hint hint

(Okay, we're new phans, we get one request don't we?? )

Looking forward to getting your albums and catching up to you at a concert somewhere along the line!

Hi DP.

I want to share my thanks to You for Your recent concert here in St. Clair Shores, MI. You see, Your visit here was just about a month after the unexpected passing of my Dad who was a 'big time' and TRUE fan of PAVAROTTI . About one year before your visit, I sat with my Dad on his 76th birthday (Dec.15th) in Row 4, center stage at Your Christmas Concert 2006 in SCS, MI. He enjoyed your concert so very much and ALWAYS loved hearing a great voice. When he heard Your Great Voice, he also heard You share God's message of HOPE. God sent that message of Hope right back to us through You at Your recent concert. It was a tremendous comfort to my Mother who said through her tears over and over, "I am so glad I came." DP, You are a Blessing.

Hi, it's Alicia, Christopher's mom. I've said this before, but you are such a blessing to me for the influence you have made on my son Christopher. He has loved you since he was 3, he's 9 now and you made him the proudest little boy when he got to come on stage with you and the children during the OHN DVD taping. He is hooked on The Voice now. God Bless you and your family and I just love Lori and Sherri. We will see you in Concord, NC in december. Christopher is already geered up for it, he's so excited to get to see you again.

Though I appreciate you solo, as I would never have even THOUGHT to check you out with the GVB, I can truly say what a blessing I have received in MANY of these songs! Thank you for giving your voice back to God, and allowing Him to use you through song!!

David - I can't tell you what a thrill it was to see you at Austin and Wichita Falls. I am so grateful we were able to take advantage of this special opportunity to see you with the GVB. If we could clone you we could have the best of both worlds, for I love your solo work too. It was quite a thrill to get to share the excitement with the Homecoming fans. I hope we were able to recruit some new Phelps Phans.

Hi David, First, congratulations on the fantastic new website--it is so well done, much easier to read, just looks really slick.

My sister and I were on cloud 9 seeing you with GVB in Austin last week. It was so unbelievable, still seems like a dream to me. You hit it out of the park on Because He Lives! And you are so gracious with your time with us after concerts--thanks for talking to us after the show, as you do at all your shows.

For the Christmas tour, I would very much love it if you guys will do your arrangement of The Singer and Hallelujah Chorus, just like on the OHN CD/DVD! Also, hoping for Nessun Dorma and/or Gentle Savior!!

God Bless, and again, congrats on all your many accomplishments--what a great year, David!
Love,
Monica (northern California)

Hey David -
Although I wasn't able to attend any of the recent GVB concerts featuring you, I was able to enjoy them through the phans that were in attendance.
I am in awe of the advances your career has made in the last six months - you must be on cloud 9 :)

I, too, look forward to seeing you at a Christmas tour stop in less than a month. I can't wait!!!
BTW - I love surprises! I can only imagine what you have planned. Try and give the band more than 20 minutes notice this time if you decide to throw in a new song :)

Thank you again for everything you do for your phans. It's an honor to be a phan of yours.

See you soon and God bless!

Hey David-

First of all, it was SO good to see (and hear) you with the GVB again, even if only for a short time! And just a note from someone who was there...the first concert in Amarillo went more than well! It was FANTASTIC! If you were struggling to keep up with lyrics, no one in the audience knew a thing about it. You were awe-inspiring as always! Thanks for sharing your talents with the world!

I heard somebody yell out "I love you, David!" at the same concert. It seems like there is always somebody trying to heckle the artist!!!

Australia

Hey Phriends! This past month has been a whirlwind...and it been great! First some of my band and I took off for Australia. We had a smooth ride, but it did take over 20 hours of travel to get there. I'm now in love with Qantas Airlines. They were amazing! Anyway we arrived in Brisbane Early on Friday and had the whole day off to sight see. It's a great city. One of the locals called it a "big country town". It really has that feel--very warm but plenty to keep you busy. The food was great...fish and chips at least a couple of times. Andrea loved the shopping. I think she spent more than she made! That night our hosts took us on the huge ferris wheel located at South Bank. We were pretty wiped out by that time, but the view was incredible. The next morning we all got up and went just out of town to a Koala sanctuary. When you see the animals there and how different they really are it hits home how isolated this continent was for so many centuries. Jack was determined to box a Kangaroo. I have to admit I would have loved to see that but I was torn about who I would be rooting for. I did get to cuddle a Koala. Manuel was his name...we are forever bonded. Chris held one too, but his left him a little surprise. From there we went to sound check at the convention center. Alabaster Box was opening the night and I have to say they were great. They are from Australia, but live in Tennessee now. It was good to get to speak with them for a little while. The concert was a blast. The crowd was little timid at first, but warmed up in no time. Before intermission it they were wild! It's hard to know how to take us Yanks sometimes. It was quite a full concert. I think we played for nearly 2 hours when it was all said and done. I was amazed and overwhelmed at the record table. There were so many nice things said and so many moving testimonies. People by the bus loads drove 10 to 15 hours to see the concert. What an honor. Last time I went to Australia I left saying it was one of my favorite places. That rings true again. Go there if you ever get a chance. I can't wait to go again soon! hope to see you soon... dp

Saved, Sanctified and set free because of The Blood of the resurrected Christ.

I cannot wait to get to heaven David, especially when I am absolutely convinced that angels must stand in amazement when your voice breaks out.
As I lay dying on my hospital bed last week I asked for two things..... One was to hold my Bible and the second was to listen to you singing Oh Holy Night. As I listened to your voice the Spirit of God touch my salmonella filled body, liver and kidneys in full blown renal failure B U T, within 12 hours, a body which was about to go into eternity, was released from hospital.
The power of an anointed voice huh??

God Bless you my dear brother.

See you in heaven.

Hi David,

Glad you enjoyed your time here. Come back as often as you like! Bring all your friends!
We are very proud of our iconic animals!
Don't know about you, but holding a koala as it munches gum leaves in your ear is an unforgettable experience...emotional!
And the roos...I'd put my bet on him in a fight!!!

sorry we didn't get to see you in concert. Didn't even know you were here....the west is a long way from Brissy!

Hi David.
Thanks so much for making the long trip to Brisbane: to meet you was so special. The concert was unbelievable and unforgettable. I hope you'll come back to visit us before too long - and perhaps you could include us Sydney fans next time.
God bless you.
Love,
Imelda and Graham Gilmore.

...on the streets of Austin, Texas...it was unreal to be sitting in a restaurant and look up and go "hey..that looks like DP and someone say that is DP"...and you go running out the door and holler at him and he stops on the street, gives you a big smile and waves and says he'll see you at the concert..What a hoot!

Hey Phelpsy!

I have to say, you were amazing in Brisbane, I never thought I'd actually get to see you live, and to randomly meet you in the street was an amazing Godsend!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to come down here, and I am praying I see you again.

Much Love
Adam
