A few weeks ago, I found out that a fellow pastor in the Schaumburg area, who also plays keys with a local rock band, was opening for former American Idol runner up Bo Bice at the Clearwater Theater in West Dundee. Dave Rudin is a friend I've had the opportunity to get to know over the past year. He's the lead pastor at Summitview Christian Church, a church that has been a great support for Waterfront since we came into the area. But Dave also moonlights as a keyboarding rockstar with the band "Brownline Fiasco."
So I was excited to see Dave in concert. . . hadn't heard his band before. And I was also interested in hearing the headliner, Bo Bice. I've never heard his recorded music, but I remembered him from American Idol season 4, and I liked him then. He's got a very southern, rock style about him, so I thought that might be cool.
Well as it turns out, another couple of friends, Jim and Sheri Mueller, (I've mentioned them in another post), do a radio show for their non-profit marriage ministry, and they were also planning on attending the concert so that they could interview Bo Bice for their show. Apparently, Bo's a Christian. He's married. So why not?
To make a long story short, Jim and Sheri were able to get me a free ticket to the show. I was able to see Dave and Brownline Fiasco play. And then Jim and Sheri invited me to tag along with them for their interview with Bo Bice. So we all went backstage before his set, hopped on Bo's tour bus, and then we chatted with him for about half an hour. I kinda felt like the kid from the movie 'Almost Famous' . . . like I was peaking inside of a world that wasn't really my own. It was a pretty cool evening.
Hey David,
I know those guys from Brownline Fiasco. I was part of that church for a longtime. Kind of grew up there and have known Dave and Mike for a long time. that's cool that you've gotten to know them!

That's right! I forgot you were a Schaumburger. Dave's a great guy and they've been really, really good to Waterfront. I'll have to ask him about you next time we see each other.

I was in West Dundee Saturday and really enjoyed Brownline Fiasco. A very interesting act, somewhat stuck in the seventies.....

Her advice to me was to work harder.
