Thanksgiving, MORE new TM stuff, & Song Of The Week 11/28/13!!!

I'm SOOO thankful for my Mom this Thanksgiving!!! TobyMac & DiverseCity Band, I'm "Thankful For You" :) too for delivering this GREAT album!!! :D :D :D

 

Getting this CD from my mom yesterday really made my day after kind of overreacting to the fact that Toby isn't coming near where I live on his tour next spring.

SO SO SO thankful to have everybody from my Dad's side of the family get together at our house this holiday!!!

And guess what that sweetie pie Aunt Beth gave me?!?!?! Another TM bracelet!!!

 

Now, with 2 CDs, 2 bracelets, AND a shirt, I totally feel like a true fan. =D

BTW, here's something for y'all to listen to to get you in the Christmas spirit: 1st track on my new CD and my very favorite Christmas song, Christmas This Year, featuring Leigh Nash!

I just LOVE Leigh Nash's part! She's perfect in this song!!! And Toby totally aced it as usual... Songs as beautiful as this are why I like Christian contemporary music so so much. The lyrics are so meaningful and the people that mix the music just overdo it!!! I'm so glad God gives people like Toby such amazing talents and that they use those talents to bring the glory back to God.

Oh, and here's the Lego music video:

Check out "Thankful For You" by TobyMac too!!!

I hope everyone has a very BLESSED Thanksgiving with their family!!!

=) =) =)

...Needless to say, the turkeys aren't too happy about it.

TobyMeow Hits Deep Tour 2013 (featuring Sunshine and The Wildcats)!!!

Hi everyone! This is Willie the tuxedo cat (drummer for the Wildcats), here to give you insider access to never-before-seen footage of the TobyMeow Hits Deep Tour 2013!!! :D

Here are some photos from the concert at Aunt Beth's on October 26, 2013:

Sunshine performing One Drop and I Make My Own Sunshine

An assorted group of pets performing Why Can't We Be Friends

TobyMeow performing I Gotta Lotta Soft Spots For You

Not many pets get to go to Aunt Beth's house, so there weren't many there, but it was fun anyways. April wasn't there so I got to play the drums the whole time!!!

Photos of the concert at our house on November 16-17:

Everybody waiting for the concert to start...

TobyMeow, Midnight, Zany, and Mayhem performing Lose My Soul

TobyMeow performing Get Back Up

All of the Wildcats (except me) performing Unstoppable

All the kids onstage dancing to Favorite Song at what was meant to be the end of the concert, until the audience begged for more

Everybody taking a bow at the end

We had an awesome turnout for the concert - 47 pets (and 2 humans) in total!

We performed 20 songs, including Tonight, Hold Me, Good Morning (it was weird performing THAT at 8:00 at night), City On Our Knees, a remix of Me Without You, Steal My Show, Middle Of Your Heart, and Speak Life. And one thing I just realized a minute ago is that we started the concert with TobyMeow performing Made To Love and, thanks to the audience begging for more, ended it with the Wildcats performing Born To Love!

As for me, I spent most of my time backstage watching the concert (very fun), except for when I did the drums for the Wildcats' 2 songs, then at the end I UNEXPECTEDLY had to sing (very stressful). Everybody had lots of fun and the concert was a blast. It was a great experience working with all of the crew on the tour (basically everybody from TobyMeow, Sunshine, and The Wildcats, plus Chloe Elena), except for TobyMeow's DJ, Buddy, who snored very loudly every night and then wondered why everybody else was still in bed at noon. **SIGH**

Anyway, hope you all enjoyed this inside look on the TobyMeow Hits Deep Tour 2013!!! Bye!

Upcoming TobyMeow Concert!!! and Double Song of the Week 11/9/13

I'M VERY SORRY ABOUT THIS!!! It was supposed to get posted on the 9th but today I realized it wasn't ever posted :P So when you're reading this keep in mind it was written on the 9th.

Hi everyone!!!

I've had a totally awesome week. I got my new TobyMac CD and t-shirt on Monday, then on Wednesday one of my friends came up to me at karate and gave me a bracelet I had been wanting for weeks and weeks!

 

The Webkinz and I have been so busy yesterday and today planning and rehearsing for the TobyMeow Hits Deep concert on the 16th...we can't wait! We'll have TobyMeow, Sunshine, The Wildcats, AND Mayhem (who will be singing a couple of Mandisa songs). They're all going to perform their top hits, a total of 20 songs! The Wildcats are releasing their new album soon and there are already rumors of a Wildcats concert sometime next year...

Yesterday, the 13 pets of the TobyMeow Hits Deep Tour crew and I planned out the order of all the songs for the concert and rehearsed almost all of them. Today we've been picking out what everybody is going to wear for the big night (Sneaker's outfit is SUPERB), and I've been busy helping everyone that wants to come to the concert figure out their budget and how much money they'll spend. A few pets have even won free tickets, bracelets, and headbands through the prize drawing. This is going to be so fun...

Anyway, since I've fallen a bit behind on Song of the Week, I'm just going to give you a Double Song of the Week now and wait until next Sunday for another one.

This song is by TobyMac's oldest son Truett. He has made several appearances on Toby's albums as TruDog, and this was from Toby's 2010 album Tonight. It's called Loud 'N' Clear.

...and here's the Telemitry Remix, which I LOVE listening to on my iPad with my headphones with the volume turned way up. =D Telemitry is probably my favorite TobyMac remixer.

Song of the Week 10/29/13

Hi! What's up? :P

I had been toying around with lots of ideas for song of the week before I picked this one out. This is the one I had thought of originally, and then lots of other songs came to mind, but this song seemed to stand out. This morning I was still trying to pick one when I checked out the Recently Played Songs list on the K-LOVE website, and it was playing, then this afternoon going to piano lessons I heard it in the car again:

Holding Nothing Back by Ryan Stevenson.

This is a song about not letting anything get between you and God, and following him without hesitation. Here is the official lyric video:

I had no idea it was co-written by TobyMac, but that's what it says!

And here's the video of Ryan Stevenson performing it live on K-LOVE:

I hope you enjoyed it!
