The Way Inn Christian Music Center in Evans Mills, NY

A few of our favorite pix from early years and later events leading to the founding of The Way Inn.

	B&W pic of Clarence Sly, son Bob Sly, Greg Conklin & Paul Desormo playing at the Assembly of God Church, Watertown, late 1970's.
	Clarence Sly, Gospel musician, singer and former Nashville performer on the old Hee-Haw television show. Clarence, a multi-talented Christian, loved playing his favorite music in praise of the Lord. He went to be with the Lord in 2007. This pic was taken during a performance at Long Falls Baptist Church, Carthage NY, in the early 1990's.
	At the 2003 All Day Gospel Sing, hosted by The Way Inn, at the Carthage gazebo, Christian performers Paula Bailey (center), Dan Quinta (right) and others took part in the day long outdoor opportunity to share praise of God with the community at-large. There were always songs of traditional Christian standards and original compositions filling the late summer air.
	Pastor Bob Sly on stage with the Gretchen and Reg Dunnaman at Pleasant Meadows Baptist Church, Evans Mills, in 2004.
	Quartet of talented Musician's Night performers seen here includes (from left) Bob Sly, Mike Baker, Roger Dicob and Carl Blair. Musician's Night is a great opportunity to join in with voice or instrument and flex your gift of praise in sharing with others. Everyone is invited to "come on up!"
	One of the groups that lent a hand for the benefit for The Way Inn in 2003 at Carthage's Assembly of God Church was Dan Quinta's band, Double Edge Sword, from Mannsville. Dan's trumpet is always sounding the charge for the faithful, foot-tappers and singers alike.
	For a short time, The Way Inn met at a restaurant in Evans Mills. Meg Nolle, singer from Adams, uses her voice to share God's love.
	Chris Towne, of Chris Towne's Ragamuffin Band, shares the stage with guitarist/singer Patty Peters, at the TWICMC benefit in 2003.
	Another great pic from the past shows (from left) Clarence Sly, Stephanie (Mrs. Bob) Sly, John Labirdi and Bob Sly sharing their praise at Long Falls Baptist Church, Carthage, in 2000.
	A TWICMC regular is Roger Dicob, gifted musician/singer/song writer performing at the Hoot n' Toot, the Felts Mills restaurant that hosted The Way Inn after the tragic fire that destroyed the Inn's Carthage storefront Christian Music Center as well as much of the village's downtown district.
	Scott Desormo's group, Vital Information, performing at the All Day Gospel Sing at the Carthage gazebo in 2003.
	Scene from a spectator point of view at the All Day Gospel Sing, 2003.
	To the full orchestration of music CD's, Meg Nolle sings soulfully in pursuit of her desire to find ways to express her love of God and share that love with listeners.
	Roger Dicob, as a soloist, at the All Day Gospel Sing, 2003.
	Stephanie Sly, from Carthage, accompanies Roger Dicob, from Watertown, on banjo at an Evans Mills edition of The Way Inn. Stephanie is not only the best Christian banjo picker in the area, she's probably the only one as well.
	The very talented Tony Solori with backup vocals from a younger musician at the All Day Gospel Sing, 2003. Tony uses his guitar skills with finesse' in his praise of the Lord.
	A group with a real message that wants to be shared, the New Covenant Praise Singers from Carthage's New Covenant Church at the All Day Gospel Siing, 2003.
	Favorites of The Way Inn and its audiences are Gretchen and Reg Dunnaman. Their original compositions, traditional offerings and wonderful humor always delight listeners. TWI tries to get at least one appearance by this popular Christian traveling couple each year.
