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 (Mar. 26)

GOOD. Water Stained; 62 degrees; 0.32 feet below pool. Water temperature is 58-66 degrees. Bass are pulling up shallow. There is a good late evening bite with Texas rigs, chatterbaits, flukes, wacky rig senkos in 1-3 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Smaller male black bass are moving to the shallows on warm windy banks. Fish the banks with the most sunlight. Bait fish and worm patterns are a good choice. Look for females close-by ready to move to nests. Slow presentations work best. The crappie should be moving shallowly in 60-65-degree water. Wooly buggers can be a good choice. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Lake Fork crappie fishing has been steady with numbers of big fish possible when the winds allow. Good numbers of crappie on timber in 6-20 feet close to spawning areas. Cold fronts lately have been pushing the fish back out deeper and we may only see one or two days of shallow fish in between fronts. If you find a spawning area with 62-64 degree surface temperatures you may be able to find fish in 2-4 feet. Some fish are holding on bridges, but the bite can change not only by the day but by the hour this time of year. Wind directions and wind speeds are dictating a lot of the crappie’s location and demeanor. The bite is good most days if you can get a bait right on a fish. Minnows, hand tied jigs and soft plastics will all produce this time of year. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
