"I will always cherish all those days gone by! I thank God for the good times every moment of my life!"
My precious Uncle Dana (of Degarmo & Key) was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame tonight, such a huge and very well-deserved honor, although he passed away this past summer. I do wish he could have been up there to receive it (receiving far greater rewards in heaven right now, I can guarantee it). My aunt, Nino, accepted the award in his absence alongside Eddie Degarmo. Makes me miss him so much every time I watch that video, and smile at the same time because I know he is singing with the angels for eternity now! But, man... I really do miss him a lot.
Degarmo & Key weren't the only ones being inducted tonight... Johnny Cash was, too. The Johnny Cash! A real testament to the prestige of this honor. Cash was a true rock star, but still not sure he rocked as much as Uncle Dana did. What a life he had. If you had known him you would know what I mean. He dedicated his life to making sure everyone he touched knew the love of Christ through the gifts that were given to him.
Others in the GMA Hall of fame: Elvis, Al Green, Amy Grant, Dolly Parton
If you get a chance- watch the video I posted. It is one of my favorite songs by D&K.
