This Train was the next group to perform. They brought their zany, fun music and rocked the house.
|
Mark Robertson, bassist, lead vocalist, and songwriter for This Train, as well as producer, has also been the bass player for the Ragamuffins for about five years.
|
"Cobra Joe" Curet, drummer for This Train, is a bit quiet and reserved - until he gets behind those drums.
|
Jordan Richter plays guitar for This Train, and also doubled as sound engineer for the Homeless Man Fall Tour.
|
|
This Train played songs from both of their recordings, including their current hit, "Million Years," co-written by Mark and Rich. Just after they began their set, they brought Mitch, Eric, and Michael out to help them. "Sheriff" Mitch wore a cowboy hat (without giving up his baseball hat) for "Great Atomic Power."
|
Eric and Michael decided there wasn't quite enough rhythm happening, so they gave Cobra a hand on the drums.
|
Eric got inspired and performed the classic "playing the mandolin behind the head" manuever.
Scott Salley (not pictured) from Compassion USA, followed This Train and filled in a few more pieces to the puzzle so we could better see what life and ministry are like on the reservation.

One of the best kept secrets of the afternoon was the appearance of Wayne Kirkpatrick. Because only his name was mentioned in his introduction, it's quite possible that only avid CCM fans would have known his involvement in the industry as producer and songwriter (Michael W Smith, Amy Grant, and others), not to mention his own recordings. He performed a very lowkey set, with his music sounding a bit like Wes King or another Ragamuffin, Billy Crockett.
