Cell Phone Super Star

Hello All,

We apologize for not updating in a while. It has been a very busy May. It is the end of school. Therefore, there are many programs, banquets, actitivies, parties, and graduations. We have not had a moment of peace. But it's ok. We love being with and celebrating with the ones we care for.

In the midst of our chaos, Kevin has been selected to be one of the TOP TEN FINALISTS for Cell Phone Super Star on the JOY FM. It is a Christian Radio station in the Tampa Bay area. They have a program where you can register to sing on the air over your cell phone. This week was the qualifying round. Kevin's name happened to be picked. So the afternoon DJ called up Kevin on his way home from work. Kevin had to sing any song that came to his head. (he had already pre-planned that he would sing My Girl if he was called). So...driving home on Bloomingdale Avenue in Brandon, Kevin sang My Girl. I was able to hear it, because I was listening on my radio in my car as I got home from work. It was great.

This evening he got a call that he was in the TOP. He has to sing two songs this week (one Disney Song and one hymn). He has to be ready at any time to answer his cell phone and sing!!!

If he makes it to the final two, they allow the listeners to vote on the winner. The radio station staff picks the finalists up to the Top 2.

We'll keep you updated. It's certainly fun to get to the Top 10 even if he doesn't make it any further.
