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 (Sep. 17)

GOOD. Water cloudy to clear; 85 degrees; 1.09 feet below pool. Starting to see some turnover in the backs of pockets after the last cool spell. Bass are good on the main lake early in the day with topwaters, chatterbaits and square bill crankbaits until the midday sun. Texas rigs and shaky heads are good around docks and timber in 5-7 feet of water. Carolina rigs are fair on big points with fluke type baits and 7 inch worms in 12-17 feet of water. Deep crankbaits are fair over the ends of deep points and road beds. Report by Marc Mitchell, Mitchell's Guide Service.
