Sing Along with our FRVA Lyric Video!
This year, Patrice and I traveled to Perry, Georgia, to attend our fifth Family RV Association (FRVA) Rally. Our history with these gatherings is extensive; we have previously attended the Perry rally three times, traveled to Gillette, Wyoming for a national rally once, and visited Myrtle Beach for a GEAR rally. Each event has its own unique atmosphere, but this year I felt a strong desire to contribute something special—a way to truly fire up the crowd and help everyone connect with the spirit of the moment. With that goal in mind, I sat down and wrote an original song dedicated to our community. We officially debuted the piece during the First Timers Orientation on Tuesday afternoon. To our delight, the crowd responded with immediate enthusiasm. The reaction was so positive that the executive board approached us afterward, clearly impressed by how the music resonated with the attendees. They extended a formal invitation for me to perform the song again the following night during the high-profile opening ceremony. Standing before an audience of at least a thousand people was a thrilling experience. Paul Mitchell, the President of the FRVA, personally introduced Patrice and me to the stage, and I was eager to share my creation with the full assembly. The song was designed as an anthem, featuring a specific section intended for a communal chant of "F. R. V. A." I took a moment during the first verse to teach the audience the rhythm, and the results were spectacular. By the time the second verse arrived, the entire crowd was fully engaged, pumping their fists in the air and shouting "F.R.V.A!" with a volume that was absolutely deafening. The sheer joy on people's faces was the greatest reward. After the show, we were overwhelmed by fellow RVers coming up to ask where they could download the track. Knowing that I had created something that could so deeply resonate with the oldest RV club in the country brought a tear to my eye. It was a profound moment of connection that highlighted the enduring bond shared by members of this unique community. To download the .mp3 file of the song, click this link.
