Thank you for giving me music that expresses what I feel in my heart and my soul. GOD BLESS YOU GUYS. Keep on keepin on!!!

I must tell you the whole story.
We are from Iceland. We are members of the Pentecostal Chruch (AOG). We have been following up on what Ricky and the Blind Boy´s are doing. We have a show on a Christain radio station broadcasting 24/7 and the Blind Boys are our favorites. Once we phoned Ricky to the States and asked him if we could meet him and the boy´s backstages in Ireland on their tour in Europe. Ricky said we were so welcome to meet them and we too the flight from Iceland to UK and from there to Ireland just to see them. We were so blessed seeing the consert (one of a kind)and meeting backstage with our Idols.
Now I contacted Ricky again because the Blind Boy´s have a concert in Paris France. I asked Ricky if we could meet again and take an interview to broadcast over Christmas. Ricky again, alway´s welcome. We have booked a flight to Luxemburg and are driving down to Paris for the concert. We just can´t wait. We are alway´s so filled with the Holy spirit when we hear the Blind Boy´s music. GOD is so good.
Ricky I praise God for giving you so much of your talent. People are getting saved!! GOD remembers that.
See you in Paris.
