I was just dropping by to post the story!! It IS amazing! Stories like that always bring tears to my eyes.
Just in case there are folks on here that don't get L5's e-letters, I'll go ahead and post it.
From the Desk of: Scott Fowler...
INFLUENCE
Have you ever experienced one of those moments when you knew someone was looking at you? Wasn't it kind of weird when you looked around and discovered that your "sense" was correct? Someone was indeed looking, staring or just watching you. Now think about this: If someone watches you, then you will influence them to some degree. There's no denying the influence that each life has on the world. In fact, sociologists tell us that even the shyest introvert will influence 10,000 people over the course of his or her lifetime. Our lives shape the people around us in profound ways. Whether we intend to or not, we affect others through our influence.
In the classic Christmas film, It's a Wonderful Life, George Bailey is given a tremendous gift: the opportunity to see what life would be like without him. As he wanders through a world that has no memory of his existence, George is dismayed by the plight of his friends and family. Devoid of his influence, their lives lack the warmth and richness he is accustomed to seeing. As George struggles to come to terms with his bleak surroundings, Clarence, his guardian angel, sums up the lesson that he hopes George will absorb from the experience.
"Strange, isn't it? Each person's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?"
Let me tell you about one of those many surreal moments for me, when God reminded me of the fact that L5 is influencing lives.
We host two events every year at Gaylord Opryland Hotel, in Nashville. We call the event Celebration and it is a three day event every Memorial Day and Labor Day weekend.
This past Memorial Day, a lady named Patty walked up to me at our product table during intermission and asked me, "Why is everyone here so happy?". I looked at her a bit puzzled because there were about 1200 people at Celebration and I just assumed most all of them were either happy or understood the idea behind why we were happy. So I asked her to repeat herself and again she asked, "Why is everyone here so happy?". Patty proceeded to tell me that she and her seven year-old daughter, Hanna, were at Celebration by "accident." She continued by saying that her husband was a physician and that he had just been transferred to a new job in North Carolina. She and Hanna were on their way from Michigan to N.C. to look for a new house. They stopped in Nashville to get tickets to "The Grand Ole Opry" but instead were sold tickets to our Celebration event. She told me that her husband is a Muslim and that she was not accustomed to being around so many people who seemed so happy. She again said to me, "So you see...we're not supposed to be here. We are here by accident. This is not the Grand Ole Opry and I don't understand why everyone around here is so happy. What is this music all about?" Then I realized, this was a divine appointment and God was giving me an incredible opportunity to tell this lady and her daughter why we were all so "happy."
So, I proceeded to tell Patty and Hanna that the reason everyone there was so happy was because we have been forgiven of our sins and that as a result, we are guaranteed an eternity in Heaven with God. I was able to tell her that John 3:16 says that "God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life." That's why we are all so happy, I told her. At that point she instructed little Hanna to "Listen to this man."
As I continued to tell her about Jesus and what He had done for us, she asked me, "What page in the Bible tells us how we can know we are going to Heaven?" She knew nothing about Christianity.
Intermission was now over and it was time for us to sing, so I quickly asked Patty for her email address and assured her I would stay in touch and answer her questions. Then, I looked over at our product table and saw a pink MP3 player that had every Legacy Five song on it we had ever recorded. I picked it up and handed it to Hanna and said, "Hey Hanna, I want you to have this. It has lots of great songs on it and it will help answer some of the questions you and your mommy have about God." That was in May of this year.
Next week, I'll share Part Two of the story of Hanna and her mom.
In the mean time, be aware that people are watching you. Make sure that you use your influence to show them Jesus.
Matthew 5:16 says it like this, "In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."

Hey Friends!
It's the end of the week and we wanted to tell you about an opportunity for you to hear us, Legacy Five, live online. This Sunday night, November 22 at 6:30PM Pacific time, we will be performing at the El Cajon Wesleyan Church (south of San Diego, CA) and you can watch it on your computer from wherever you are. Just click here and then click "Watch live"! Then sit back and enjoy the concert.
Don't forget - that's Pacific time so most of you will be able to watch it after you get home from your Sunday night church service.
For the majority of you, it will be the last time to see Frank singing with us. Be sure to watch.
Till We Meet Again
Legacy Five
Here's that link again, just in case it didn't copy/paste correctly. http://ecwesleyan.com//
Make sure you log on at the right time for your area!

I didn't have any problem logging in and got to hear Legacy Five sing, perhaps 3 songs, then Tim played and he sang and I lost the connection. Could not ever get back in to hear them again.
I am just thankful I got to hear at least what I did.
Was a great way to start the week of Thanksgiving, just more to be thankful for.

Just saw L5 last night in Greenwood, IN. Great concert (as always!). The songs included What A Friend, The Moment I Get Up There, I Found Grace (one of my favorites!), When They Found Nothing, Festival of Carols, O Holy Night, Christmas With A Capital C, He Made A Change, and Peace. They ended the evening with Til We Meet Again, which is another one of my favorites...very hard not to cry, though, with this being one of Frank's last concerts 
I put several videos up on youtube, and will be adding more, if anyone wants to see them here.
It was a wonderful evening, and my only disappointment is that the concert had to end!

I didn't know YOU were triumphantfan on YouTube!!!  . Thank you sooooo much for sharing those videos... it makes me feel a little better...  . I'm gonna miss Frank so much. Now when I say that, I don't mean it as a lack of support for Gus Gaches at all... I'm really looking forward to meeting him! I'm just going to miss seeing Frank... sure, I miss him as a singer, but I miss him even more as a person. He's really a special guy

Hey guys... Tonight was Frank Seamans' last concert as Tenor for L5. Let's all be in prayer that the Lord will help Frank as he makes decisions for his future, and for Legacy Five and Gus Gaches as they begin this new chapter in their lives. I'm expecting great things :)

Yep, that's me!
I'm really going to miss Frank too. I'm sure Gus will be great with the group, and I'm also looking forward to hearing him, but...there's only one Frank Seamans! I was thrilled to be able to make it to one more concert while he was still with them. I didn't think we'd be able to, but it all worked out great!

Hi there!
Well, Christmas is only a week away - less, actually. Is anyone giving Legacy Five products as gifts?

Thanks for the intro to Gus ... pretty easy to see why Frank recommended him. If Gus fits in as good as Frank did, L5 is going to be okay. It's good to see L5 is going to keep alive "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" ... a wondeful worship song made famous by George Beverly Shea a half century ago.

Has anyone seen Gus in concert with Legacy Five? What is he like? How does he sound? Does he fit in well with the other members of the quartet?

We heard L5 just last Saturday night. Gus is fitting right in - good blend. I do miss Frank though, but welcome Gus with enthusiasm.

Hey everyone! I posted new videos of L5 to YouTube a couple weeks ago, but forgot to post on here to let y'all know! You can find them all on my channel http://youtube.com/user/texjoy777
I uploaded a lot of songs that are already one Youtube, but these are with Gus. I figured y'all would enjoy them too! I've also uploaded new songs from the "Just Stand" project, including "Faithful To The Cross", "Thankful For The Change" "Above All Circumstances" etc. Check 'em out and leave me a comment!! God Bless!!

Howdy guys, I'm new.
I love Legacy five, they are my favorite group.
Their new cd, Just Stand, is awesome, every song in it is excellent!
I was wondering if anyone here would know what that really low note is that Glenn nails in the song, Just Stand. For clarification: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmgMTwjlYSg The note I'm reffering to is at 2:08. Thanks

Thanks! I just thought that seemed lower than a G. What do you use to check those notes like that? Anyway, Glenn is an incredible bass, but then, the entire group is incredible at their respective parts.

Baritones could be replaced cause they are just filler.
Please tell me you didn't really mean to say that...
Scott Howard is the best singer in L5, and he's not featured nearly enough.
On EDIT: I just realized this post I quoted is a few years old...oops! I thought I was looking at recent replies when I read it and responded.
