Performer Encourages Students
to be Salt & Light
By Richie Urquidez
Mandie Pinto was at L.A. Lutheran. She performed a live concert for students, January 13th. She sang songs from her album, "Count All Your Blessings," which included songs like "Eternally Yours," "Lord, Lift Me Up," and more. My personal favorite is "Salt and Light." Sorry, but Adam Rulvacaba is not actually featured on the album itself!
Mandie sang at the National Lutheran Youth Gethering in Atlanta last summer. Her producer and keyboardist, Robbie Robinson, wrote most of the music for the gathering.
Robinson was here before. He was a Chapel speaker in November along with singer Cynthia Calhoun, a member of the Christian music group, "Sleeping Giant." Calhoun once recorded with Snoop Doggy Dog. Robinson was the keyboardist for the 50’s & 60’s group, Fankie Vallie and the Four Seasons and worked for many years in Las Vegas. Who knows, maybe he may show up at LALHS again.
