Randy Remembers...

1999 and 2001 attendee Randy Whittern sent us a few fond memories and a photo from his times at MIR:

I first attended MIR in 1999 and competed in the Southern Gospel Vocal competition. I won the Grand Prize that year, and used the recording time I won at Gaither studios to put out my fourth CD. I then got to go back in 2001 and perform two songs at the Longhouse during one of the daytime sessions in front of my peers, and it was a great experience I'll always remember. In fact, I've just released my 5th CD and I'm using one of the pictures taken of my performance that day on my CD cover. The setting in the Rockies is tremendous, and the sessions are always packed with good information. And six nights of Christian music in a row...what a way to REALLY draw close to and hear from God. I'm sad this will be the last year 'in the Rockies'...I wanted to be sure to be apart of this one, too.
