FUNNIEST INCIDENT ON STAGE: Decatur, AL. We were introduced and the music started, but the curtain wasn't going up fast enough. We were trying to get out to our mikes, so I started crawling under the curtain. Needless to say, we didn't make it, and on top of that, when it finally was raised, it caught Kirk's keyboard and it fell of the stand. So there we stood, in front of a laughing audience, looking like we had just been through Spinal Tap II.

FAVORITE CHRISTMAS MEMORY: I remember when I was 14 and performed "O Holy Night" at church.  I didn't know all the words, so I placed the lyrics on the floor in front of me.  But when I sat down, I sat the chair right on top of the lyrics.  So when I got stuck in the song, I just started "Silent Night"  instead.  Needless to say, my home church teases  me about it to this day.
