WORD FROM THE BAND
Speaking on behalf of ODIN, I want to send out our most heartfelt thanks to all of you who rocked out with us at the 50th Reunion party Saturday night. We could not see what you saw or hear what you heard, but from where we stood, it was the most awesome and magical event of our 52-year existance as ODIN. We saw a bunch of kids out there kicking it up, dancing with your hearts, smiling, singing along, clapping hands, yelling and applauding, and that right there made us kids again. Most are not lucky enough to have what we all have at 68 years old. We are truly blessed to have each other after all this time. It's a treasure and we cherish it. You guys are awesome and it has been our total pleasure to be the North Forsyth band of choice all these years.
Was this our swan song? Who knows. At our age, we take it a day at a time and we see what happens. Music is with us till we stop breathing. If this was our last hurrah, then it was a damn good one. My sincere thanks to my bandmates who I love like brothers: Mark Williams, Tim Saunders, Rick Hardy, Gary Clark, Mark Earnhardt, and recently promoted Fred Patterson on backup vocals, To all our wives who paved the way to make all this possible, we will never be able to repay you.
Keep on being Vikings. Live the dream, And we will keep on rocking for as long as God allows. How can we not?
Dave Wilson
