An Evening Listening to Joseph Gaines Sing!




On Friday, 02 March 07, we had the great opportunity to hear our old friend, Joseph Gaines, sing as part of the Choir of St. Thomas Church of New York City. They were performing here in Ft. Worth, as part of a national tour. Here is more about Joseph:
