The way God works is fascinating. We would never be making this trip to Nashville if it weren't for Stuart Singleton. Kind of a round about way to get there, but we'll take it. Now, there is another very important thread to this story, but I wasn't sure how to weave it in yet so we'll try here. We'll have to backtrack a bit though.
Around Christmas time, my nephew Andrew was talking about coming to live in Tulsa this summer with his grandparents (Todd's parents). He is from Kansas City and was a freshman at Mizzou. He thought it might be fun to spend a summer with all of his extended family in here.
We loved the idea. Let me tell you a little bit about this extraordinary young man. Andrew Beasley is brilliant. He is a National Merit Scholar, and he was recently chosen as one of the Top Fourteen Freshman at the University of Missouri. You might not realize how smart he is though because he is just so normal and relateable. He is thoughtful and unselfish, flexible and easy going, and he keeps us laughing all the time.
And guess what else.....he is musically talented. Yep, pretty much the perfect kid. And pretty much the perfect addition to The Tandems.
Andrew got an internship downtown and basically lived with us this summer. When he got to Tulsa, we were in the Stuart Singleton stage, so he has been a part of the dreaming and planning since May. He has been a wonderful addition to the band and, once again, I'm in awe of the way it has all come together.
