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 (Jan. 15)

GOOD. Water Stained; 47 degrees; 1.66 feet below pool. The bass bite is best on the main lake around humps and ledges in 15-25 feet with Alabama rigs. Mid range bass are fair, suspended on timber in 12-15 feet with jerkbaits and large spinnerbaits. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Lake Fork crappie fishing has been up and down just like the weather the last few weeks. We have settled into the winter pattern and you can find fish from about 18 feet to as deep as you can find. Some fish are just 8-18 feet down on the timber even in sixty-plus feet deep water. You can also find fish down as deep as 45-50 feet on the same timber. We are seeing a lot of fish but we are seeing tons of small fish. Seems like you can pick a bigger fish or two out of a group and then just find you another group of fish. Smaller baits are working well for my boat and 1/16 ounce hand ties on 6-12 pounds fluoro is my best bait in neutral colors. The key is to hold those baits very still and wait for the bite. If you move the bait or the waves move your bait that fish will most likely not bite. You will need to find fish in protected areas if the wind is blowing that day. Minnows and soft plastics will get you bit as well. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
