Wayne Landes and Mike Lundy welcoming everyone and kicking off the festivities.
Wayne Landes introduces our dear friends the Range Riders.
Jesse Hanna of the Range Riders. Southland has also been blessed numerous of times, by having Jesse play with us on keyboard/piano.
Nakomis Hanna did an Indian presentation/signing to the Lord's Prayer.
In between the Range Riders and The Weatherfords performing, we pulled raffle tickets to win either our new t-shirts or CD's.
Next, from Oklahoma, we had The Weatherfords. We were sure glad they could be here.
This same logo seen here on the screen, is also what is on the front of our new t-shirts.
And here is the back, which lists members (Past & Current) that have played with Southland through out the years.
After another raffle drawing and a quick intermission, it was time for us to play. We were lucky enough to have some original members come back to play with us, as well as various other guys from years past.
Wayne Landes, is the only member to have played consecutively with us for the entire 25 years!
Mike Lundy (current and newest member) on guitar/vocals. Rex Fraley (past member) on bass.
John Thompson (original member) on lead guitar and Roy Cooper (original and current member) on bass.
Kevin Cisneroz (current & past member) on drums.
Everyone on stage
The one and only SPIKE! Jeff Olson (past member) came back to play drums with us. He is the only one of us that has gone on to play with such artists as David Beniot, Peter Tork of the Monkees, traveled all over Europe and other exciting adventures. He has also played drums on our last 3 CD's.

A real touching moment was when we played a video of the original band performing. It was fun to see how some of the guys have changed and to see those who have gone home to be with the Lord. I love how all the guys are looking up at the screen here.
Then, our own Wayne Landes joined in singing "Jesus Christ is Lord" with HIMSELF!
For the finally, we had the Range Riders and The Weatherfords join us on stage to sing "When the Roll is Called Up Yonder"
Standing Ovation!
