Favourite Concert Memory:  September 2nd, 2005, Belleville, Ontario.  Singing lead on 'Loaves And Fishes' with with Dave, Duane and Neil.

Most Embarassing Moment On Platform During A Concert:  I introduced my fellow singers including a Bell cousin by their correct names, and introduced myself incorrectly as 'Lee Bell' - another cousin who was not even present - and the folks I was with, and many in the audience, including a Pastor who knew Lee Bell and I, all thought I had lost my mind.  I had no idea why that came out of my mouth!  Some people in the audience later asked me about the name joke I made.  I still didn't know what to say, cause it wasn't a joke.  It was just plain dumb and dumber!
