The Dartts: DARTTMUSIC HUB
SATURDAY UPDATE!! - "REPAIRED BUS"
Greetings from The Dartts! It's been an exciting adventure. At about 4pm Thursday evening we got "the phone call" from the repair shop. They were letting us know that their work on the bus was done & that they'd already taken the bus out for a test drive. After our concert that night in Grants Pass, Oregon, we loaded into our rental van & headed a few hours south toward the Sacramento area. Friday morning we arrived at the shop, transferred everything from the van to the bus, turned the rental van in, & got right back on the road headed northbound toward our weekend concerts in the Portland, Oregon area.
We've got a sparkly clean & new radiator & a shiny bright & new exhaust pipe & bellows, all operating perfectly. Anytime a breakdown & repair of this magnitude occurs you have a little heightened sense of awareness as you get started back out on the road with your vehicle, especially when it's 45 foot long & weighs almost 60,000 pounds. We definitely had the perfect trip on Friday to put the new repairs to the test… we headed right for the Ashland Pass, which tops out at 4,310 feet above sea level. The bus ran nice & smooth & the water temperature never got above 170 degrees, even climbing the mountains. Simply put… that's good.
The repairs ended up with a total bill for $12,911. In the meantime, more donations have come in through PAYPAL and some through the mail, some from individuals and some from churches, bringing the new total of donations toward repairs to $6,452. We are pressing on with our touring and praying and asking the Lord to continue to provide the finances to pay off this bill.
We are praising the Lord for the AMAZING response we have already seen with the donations that are coming in. We are praising Him for protecting us on the road, for allowing us to get to a safe place when we broke down… a place where we had electricity for the night & a van to borrow for the first few days. We are thanking Him for the fact that we only had to cancel 1 concert in all of this & we are thanking him that the repairs were completed in time for us to get back in the bus on Friday so that we didn't have to further disrupt our touring through Oregon & Washington & beyond.
Please continue to pray for the finances to be provided to pay off the repairs, = $6,459

Feb. 8th - A Note From Tracy - "Wondrous Works"
We are well on our way into 2013, and it looks to be an exciting new year! God is working in wondrous ways. "Sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him, talk ye of all His wondrous works. I Chronicles 16:9"
We started the year with only 3 bookings scheduled for the month of January… and one of them ended up canceling. We were wondering what might be in store… God knew. The first half of January, BJ and Stoney (with the help of so many caring volunteers) moved BJ's folks (Billy and Paula Speer) from Florida to Tennessee, where the Lord provided a wonderful little house for them just 10 minutes from us. BJ's Dad has Alzheimer's disease and they recently lost their home in Florida.
The last half of January, we found ourselves writing and practicing new music...
