     Life happens, pretty often, as it seems. Unforeseeable stuff crops up right in front of us and we make the most of it, adjust, and move forward. Such was the case on Saturday, April 6, 2019. The multi-award-winning FARM HANDS (all four of them) were scheduled to appear in concert at the Rossville, TN, United Methodist Church. Not much was happening at the arranged start time of 6:00 PM Central. Suddenly, the door flew open, and Farm Hand DARYL MOSLEY blew in with his guitar, his laptop, a microphone and assorted cords. In under ten minutes, Daryl was set up and ready to play and sing.

Singing for the fans

 

       In a brief introduction, Daryl explained that the band vehicle didn't crank. The other band members stayed back home to tend to the bus issue. This seasoned professional, Daryl Mosley, sized up the situation, grabbed what he needed from his home near Nashville, and drove the almost 200 miles to fulfill the obligation. Troupers do that! The appreciative audience responded with loud applause over the next hour as Daryl did what any top performer would do. He carried on in the face of unbelievable misfortune. Life happens, remember? 

       Daryl Mosley's song selection was heavy on the 'thanks and praise,' which is the focus of The Farm Hands' repertoire. Pre-recorded background instruments and vocal harmony poured out of the laptop, and the fans got what they came to hear. It was short, but then, there was one Farm Hand and not four. Here is the song selection. We have a few actual titles and several lines from songs which were not introduced by their titles. We apologize for that inconvenience.

       The Set:  The Road that Leads to Him Runs Through You, When God Lived Here (little boarded-up church in Blue Creek), Everything Heaven Won't Be (no sickness, no pain and suffering, only joy), Jesus and I Would Know How Wrong It Would Be (as a  small child, he took a candy bar from the store and Daddy took him back to admit his guilt), Who Will Be Jesus to Him (or Her), Once Again We're Running Late (to church on Sunday morning), When I Say 'Christian', He's Got an Answer for Everything, Ask the Blind Man--He Saw It All (a huge hit for the Booth Brothers, Bill Gaither requested to use the song), and Lord You Never Gave Up on Me.

       We more than highly recommend the outstanding Farm Hands to you. Wherever you are in life, you will feel better when you leave a concert by Daryl Mosley, Tim Graves, Don Hill, and Keith Tew. Ask them about their Armstrong Pies, too!
