Hi All,
I am sooo excited. I found out that Sandi Patty, Gospel Superstar is coming to Edmonton, Alberta on October 1, 2004. Now for those of you that don't know, this woman CAN sing! She is the one who sang the STAR SPANGLED BANNER and hit those glass shattering notes in 1986, and from then on, in the US, she has become a household name. She has also been the most highly rewarded woman in Gospel, winning an unprecedented 39 Dove Awards(the equivalent of the Grammy Awards), plus 5 Grammy Awards, 3 platinum albums, 5 gold albums, and 11 Female Vocalist of the Year Awards from the Gospel Association...consecutively from 1981 to 1991. No other artist has done that. And in those circles, she is known as THE VOICE.
You know, as many of you have heard me say before, she is a big Karen fan. As a young teenager, her idol was Karen and she would try to sing like Karen would. She is the one who does the humourous Karen imitation of what it might sound like if Karen sang the song JESUS LOVES ME. Then she does an imitation of Barbra Streisand that brings down the house. Amazing vocalist Sandi is.
My thoughts,
Cameron

That's great Cam! You'll be able to see her. Have you ever seen her live before? I'd love to some day. I have three of her albums. She is outstanding. I love the song that goes "Father of Light, Shine down on Me". I crank the songs up cause her voice is nothing short of powerful!!!  |

Hi Cam. I've heard Sandi Patti sing many times (not in person). She has an extraordinary voice. I've heard her speak about Karen's influence on her singing. kd Lang, Shania Twain and Kathy Lee Gifford have said similar things about Karen. What a great tribute to our Karen! Anyway, enjoy the concert with Sandi Patti. Does she sing anything other than gospel songs? I thought she said that she would not sing secular songs; that the Lord gave her this gift to only sing Christian songs. Either way, she's a wonderful singer.

Oh yeah, I am going!! My job starts in 2 weeks in a small tourist town called CANMORE just outside of Banff National Park in Alberta. I will work at a HOWARD JOHNSON Hotel. Edmonton is only a 4.5 hour drive from where I am living, plus 3 sisters, 1 brother and Mom live in Edmonton so that is cool.

Hi,Cam; I am so excited for you!! I have never seen sandi live,but have heard her on CD!! It has been my opinion for years that she is probably the best "Voice" in Christian music..I Love a song called "Via Dolorosa" which My daughter actually does in her performances..You can see My 14 year old Daughter Kelly-Lynn singing this song on a video clip at her website which is www.Kelly-Lynn.com !! I love Sandi's soprano voice and I hope you have a great time!! Steve |

I have seen Sandi many times in concert, though not in recent years. (job and family get first priority) I have attended both Pops and her Christian concerts and they are amazing. I have never seen anyone connect with an audience like Sandi does. She is absoluety amazing and Cam is in for an awesome night!
have fun Cam!

Hi Steve,
Yes, I heard a clip of your daughter singing a classic Sandi Patty song VIA DOLOROSA(means way of suffering)...she has a beautiful voice, but more like the heavenly voice of Charlotte Church! She did an amazing job Steve!
Sandi is coming to Edmonton at Beulah Alliance Church on October 1, 2004. Tickets are $25.00, but I don't think that is too pricey. I mean, she is a 5 time Grammy Winner, and a 39 Dove Award Winner and Billboard and GMA winner. She is actually the most decorated female in Christian Contemporary Music. Go Sandi!!
My thoughts,
Cam

Thanks,Cam; For your kind words!! My daughter has been compared to Charlotte Church for years and does some classical pieces in Latin, just like Charlotte!She sounds like Charlotte just by coincidence,but Ironically she also has done some work with Charlottes very reknown vocal coach Louise Ryan who does some backing vocals on a couple of my daughters songs..I also had the privelage of spending some time with Charlottes MOM and DAD..NICE FOLKS! As for the 25 dollar ticket price for Sandi Patty-This is real cheap!! Recently a friend of mine wanted to see Michael W. Smith and MercyME in Orlando and the tickets were 200 dollars..Also my wife is going to see her beloved Barry Manilow in Jacksonville with my daughter and the tickets were 150 dollars each..None of these people have anything on Sandi Patty in my opinion!!Consider it a bargain!! Steve
