An Evening with Gordon Mote




Gordon Mote, a member of the Gaither Vocal Band, and Gospel Music Association award winner, performed during the Sunday morning worship service and provided a full performance Sunday night at Lake Fork Baptist Church in Alba, Texas. The event was free to the community with Gordon Mote performing classic gospel music as well as contemporary worship music from his own award winning albums. The morning performance was just a taste of what was to come that night and it proved to be an event you did not want to miss. If you attended the evening performance, you were not disappointed! The show was heart touching, moving and even funny with Mote's impersonations and excellent sense of humor. Mote has 8 albums with the 9th to be released in September. Of course, in Mote's words tonight, you were able to purchase a copy "in the middle of nowhere Texas!" Mote performed some of his new music including a song called "New Beginnings." He also sang many favorites including "Through It all" and "Nothing but the Blood." Gordon Mote was born totally blind at birth in Alabama. He grew up in a Christ centered home with his brother, who was also blind. He began playing the piano at three years old and his parents encouraged him to perfect his talent. Mote attended Jacksonville State University in Jackson, Alabama as well as Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. Two days after graduation, he had a job playing keyboard and singing background vocals for Lee Greenwood. He has also performed and recorded with popular country artists including Porter Wagoner in the Grand Ole Opry, Alan Jackson, George Strait, Josh Turner, Rascall Flatts and more. He has been the pianist for the Gaither Homecoming Tour since 2006 and has performed with the Gaither Vocal Band. Gordon Mote met his wife, Kimberly, while in college at Belmont University. They have three children and reside in the Nashville area. (Pictures: Gordon Mote; Margie Allen & Tanya Weems sing back-up vocals)

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 7)

GOOD. Water Stained; 73 degrees; 0.73 feet below pool. Good early morning bass bite around shad spawn areas and with topwater frogs over grass. Midday to mid afternoon work flukes and yum dingers around grass good1-3 feet. New wave of spawners pulling up this week. Carolina rigs fair in 5-10 feet of water on secondary points. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Black bass are post spawn and the top water bite is on! Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation. The crappie are moving shallow, small clousers are producing well. Large bream have moved shallow, wooly buggers are producing good fish. Channel catfish are cruising 2-4 feet biting clousers. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Crappie fishing is settling into the post spawn and summer patterns we should see for the next few months. We are seeing incredible numbers of small black crappie right now loading up on brush piles, lay downs, bridges and docks. The larger black crappie are a little hard to find but you can find some nice groups of them or pick a few out of the smaller fish. The bigger white crappie are beginning to load on the summer pattern trees. We have a tremendous amount of fry covering up a lot of those trees and making it very hard to see those bigger white crappie on forward facing sonar or for them to see your bait. You can find fish in 10-30 feet of water and some may only be 2 feet under the surface or right on the bottom. Minnows and any colored jigs are both producing extremely well. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
