We'd love to be at Parachute Festival this weekend, but that was never going to be, and as it's turned out, we wouldn't have been up to going anyway. We wouldn't have got wet last night when Cyclone Wilma paid the festival a visit; our camping days are behind us, and a comfortable bed and air-conditioned motel or apartment is much more to our liking!
So anyway, because we won't be there this weekend, here's a Christian Music Sunday special, on Saturday! Headlining Mainstage tonight will be the 2009 Australian Idol winner Stan Walker. We watched his progress that season, and he was far and away the best of the bunch. Born and raised in New Zealand, Walker has talked of a tough upbringing, of abuse and of alcohol addiction. At 15 he made a decision to follow Jesus, and his life hasn't been the same since.
This track is from one of his Idol performances, singing the Leonard Cohen classic Hallelujah. Whilst he hasn't got the gravel in his voice that Cohen has, we reckon that this is a stand-out song. We'd love to be down at Mainstage tonight, but this will have to suffice - enjoy:
And to all those attending Parachute; have an awesome time, and remember; if it rains EARLY in the weekend, at least all your gear has time to dry out! There's nothing worse than packing up a wet tent!!
