We got only one day to rest before we hit the ground running. Paul had arranged for us to do an interview on Radio Indigo, which is the largest English speaking station in south India. The DJ whose show we were on is a believer, and he goes by the name Saggy. That’s a pic of us with Saggy above. We don’t have a copy of the interview yet, but we hope to have one soon and we will make that available. We did our best to not be preachy, but to also be bold. We found out that immediately after we left the building, the owner of the station sent a company wide email to not associate with Sean Michel, because the word was Sean is an evangelist and Radio Indigo is not a platform for Christian Evangelists. Saggy plans to air the interview, but he made sure to let his Hindu producer do the editing, which is pretty shrewd.

So after the interview, we had to get ready for a show that night. Sean had to meet some new musicians, practice with them, and then go to the venue to play. Turned out pretty good, actually. The bass player is from Ivory Coast and his name is Joaz. The drummer is from Bangalore and is named Jared. Here’s a video of them rocking Amazing Grace at a pub called Le Rock. After the show, the owner got Sean to autograph a guitar that he is going to frame and mount in the pub. Guess it was a pretty memorable performance.
