Hey Friends,
This is Odie reporting in from Ohio. I hope the month of December is going well for you! I love all the Christmas prep and the busyness of the month. I am trying to remind myself to savor every moment. Soon this season will be a past memory.
Several weeks ago, I compared our schedule to the Isaacs' schedule. I noticed the Isaacs were in Brookville, Indiana, on December 2nd. Brookville is just a little over an hour from my house. My parents would be gone, but I was determined to find a way to the concert.
All I had to do was mention it to my Aunt Theresa, who was on board for going too. We made plans and secured our tickets. Then we were ready for a fabulous night of Christmas music with the Isaacs!
Here is the family gang that enjoyed the night together. Our cousin Caleb, Uncle Jay, Aunt Theresa and me.
Thanks to Ben for making sure we had great seats! I am always thrilled to see Ben. He always makes me feel well loved!
It is always wonderful to see our dear friend, Mark Capps! He does a fabulous job manning the soundboard for the Isaacs. He works his magic to make them be at their best every time I hear them!
This event took place at Franklin County High School. It was hosted by the Franklin County Arts Council.
I was beyond ready to see the Isaacs live again. Click here to see my post from June 2021. This was the last time we were able to be with the Isaacs.
Now let the music and singing begin! I hope you enjoy the concert in pictures. I wish you could have seen and heard what I did that night. Amazing, incredible, unbelievable and magnificent are just some adjectives that describe the talent of the Isaacs!
The current lineup of the Isaacs. Left to right, Levi Bowman, Greg Ritchie, Becky Isaacs Bowman, Lily Isaacs, Sonya Isaacs Yeary, Ben Isaacs and Josh Swift.
The night mainly consisted of Christmas songs. They did add in a few of their regular songs. Get Onboard was one of the songs. It is always a crowd favorite! That is the song they were playing in the picture below.
Evya and Gatlyn Yeary were on hand to help with a few songs. They did a great job!
Aunt Lily did a few Hebrew songs. I always love hearing her sing in Hebrew.
Aunt Lily asked Josh Swift and Greg Ritchie if they could play in Hebrew. They both pulled out the Jewish caps (yarmulke). It helped them play those songs just right.😂
Gatlyn brought out his ukulele to play and sing. He did a fantastic job on He's Got The Whole World! Gatlyn turned 7 on the 8th of this month. I can not believe how fast Sonya's kids are growing up! I just looked back, and here is the first time we met Gatlyn at a month old in 2016.
I am on cloud 9 whenever I hear the Isaacs live. Their recordings are awesome, and I listen to them regularly. The experience of hearing them live in concert is phenomenal! This concert was exceptional because it was only the Isaacs performing! Plus, the Christmas music takes it up to another level!
A sweet little boy came and talked to me during the concert's intermission. He is a fellow listener to Pod'N Me. He wanted a picture with me, the Souper Fan.
My Aunt Theresa was in shock. She took the picture above from her viewpoint. She could not believe somebody recognized me and asked for a picture of me at an Isaacs concert.
I was thrilled to see my beautiful cousin, Jakobi Bowman!
The newest member of the Isaacs is Greg Ritchie on drums and percussion! I was very excited to see him again! Greg is special to us! He has played on all of our studio projects.
This is my Aunt Theresa with Becky and Sonya.
I love Sonya and Becky so much! It was great to visit with them for a little while!
My Aunt Lily and I were matching. She is a wonderful woman with an amazing story. I am proud to be her niece!
It is always good to catch up with my cousin Caleb!
The final picture for the night is one of me with my dear family, The Isaacs! I love every one of you so much! Thanks for an amazing night of music, singing and fun! I am already trying to determine the next time our paths can cross.
That wraps up this Isaacs concert review. Thanks to Uncle Jay and Aunt Theresa for the ride! I am glad we were able to enjoy this event together!
Odie
I love to listen to the Isaacs! “Get Onboard” is awesome!
