Garden Valley Christian Artist Retreat, Part Three
I am continuing with the every Monday in June posting of my experiences at the Artist Retreat hosted by Melody Green at Last Days Ministries in Lindale, TX, 1985 & 1986.
So far, we focused on the 1st year, so here is the group photo from the 2nd retreat, in 1986.
This was a much bigger group than the first one, and it was really special to get to spend time with
Bill Gaither, he was very much respected by everyone there.
Here are songs by the two featured artists. Kelly Willard is such a sweet woman, always a smile and encouragement to all she meets. She recorded one of my favorite CCM songs, Blame It On The One I Love.
This video was actually shot in a TV studio, at a time when TV appearances were just about unheard of in CCM. The great Phil Keaggy in fine form, circa 1980.
