| Landon Beene visits with the Gaither Homecoming Tour |
|

I flew into New Mexico to meet up with the Gaither Tour to hand out
and do some business. First night on the bus with Ernie Haase & Sig
Sound. It was off to an interesting start. L-R Ryan Seaton, Wayne Haun,
Ernie Haase
|

Ernie Haase still honoring George Younce with a picture of George on
the bus.
|

The first day was a travel day, this is the Gaither Entourage pulling
over in the middle of nowhere trying to find a bite to eat. Bill
sent a driver in to see if it was safe, must not have been because
we left shortly after this pic.
|

This is us (Signature Sound's bus) pulling into Reno NV early. We went
ahead to get there early to have time to exercise. These guys
about killed me!!!
|

This is the rest of the Gaither artist and crew getting in. We all went over
to meet Bill and Gloria for Dinner.
|

We were all waiting in the Lobby at the hotel waiting for a decision to be made
about dinner. Here is Bill... Shortly after this, Ernie re-introduced me
as Landon Beene to him and he said "I know the Beene Family, they have
a crazy piano player." I said... "That is me"! We got off
to a great start!
|

I was honored to take Bill and Gloria out for dinner... Great Mexican food in
Reno!
|

Everyone else sharing the Limo... Ernie and Signature Sound, and Janet Paschal.
|

Here is a picture of Ryan and Doug who walked the streets with me and Wayne Haun.
We checked out the cool hotels, and tried our luck on the penny slots. Ryan
won $42!!!! LOL!
|

Typical Tim Duncan before a show. IPOD, Coffee Maker and 2 chairs. He would sit
there for hours warming up in the dressing room.
|

Doug.... Just doug. Great guy!
|

Me and Jason Crabb before the show in the dressing room. Jason was filling in
with the Gaither Vocal Band. Wow, what a awesome sound... and wow, Jason
is REALLY country!!!
|

Sound check is over, lets go eat!
|

Me and the Sig Sound guys! Thanks guys for making me feel so at home. I had a
great time!

Home away from home... the "behind the curtian" Gaither entourage of
buses and semi trucks. |

Smile Janet! |

Marshall Hall and Wes Hampton of Gaither Vocal Band.
|

One of the best guys in the world... Jeff Easter! I rode with the Easters a few
days. Great family! |

This is Russ Taff and I. Everybody was giving us a hard time because we kept
jumping from bus to bus each night. |

EH&SS doing their thing. |

This is a shot with Bill and Gloria Gaither right before I left to head home.
They made me feel right at home, just like a part of the family. Thanks guys!
|

Last visual of the Gaither tour before I flew home. Absolutely amazing... This
shot was taken exactly 25 mins after the show. These guys can break down
FAST! |
