Paul Shearer and Brian Holland

My BFF and I went to my church tonight to see Paul Shearer and Brian Holland play their guitars in their Circle Concert Series. To say they played their guitars is a wrong description. I don't know the word for what it is they do to their guitars to make the beautiful music that they made but it was fabulous.

Of course, I haven't heard Paul play in years without breaking into tears and tonight was no different. Raymond loved to hear Paul play and Paul was one of the musicians at Raymond's memorial service, so when Paul and Brian played a particularly beautiful piece of music tonight all I could think about was Raymond and how much he would have enjoyed it and I started sobbing. Then I cried through the next two songs before I got it under control.

One of the things I love about Paul is he understands. So at intermission when he came down to give me a hug he knew exactly why I was crying.

Paul is having another concert in October, and I can't wait.
