After the Hall of Fame Banquet at the recent DeMolay International Supreme Council meeting in St. Louis, a special new member of King Solomon’s Chapter was inducted with the permission of Grand Master Pat Hart.
Brother Howie Damron, a long-time country musician, now best known for his Masonic music, including the songs “The Masonic Ring” and “The Rite Stuff” was inducted into King Solomon’s Chapter after he had performed his soon to be recorded new song, “I’m Living DeMolay”.
State Master Councilor, Brother Ian Berry, conducted the induction, with the assistance of Brothers Travis Parker and Anthony Pickren after Brother Damron had finished signing autographs for those in attendance.
Brother Damron was greatly moved by induction into King Solomon’s Chapter and was quoted as saying, “It’s a good thing this didn’t happen before I sang that song, or I would have been bawlin’ for sure.”
If you have not heard Brother Damron’s new CD, “Hiram’s Call” then we will play some of the songs during Conclave.
We received the following email from Brother Damron addressed to the Brothers of Florida DeMolay:
Hello to all my wonderful new Brothers of DeMolay
I will be in the studio this weekend recording the new song “I’m living DeMolay” and also the new song my daughter wrote called “Follow the Eastern Star”. Please tell all my friends of DeMolay down there that the song will be ready soon for each and everyone of them to use in growing DeMolay and I’m sure it will become a working tool for increasing membership as the song “The Masonic Ring” has proven in Freemasonry worldwide. I would like to hear from every single DeMolay in Florida and have them email me at . The National TV show was a major success and the next hunting and fishing show will be about DeMolay.
Brother Howie Damron
