What he said.

Chuck Peters picks up where I left off a few days ago and confirms that indeed Ishee is leaving PSQ and, as far as we can tell right now, gospel music altogether (Ishee has said nothing himself so far):

BRYAN ELLIOTT HEADED FOR PSQ
Anchormen keyboard player Bryan Elliott will join Palmetto State Quartet on […]

1. Why doesn’t someone start a blog/website devoted SOLELY to rounding up non-sg press and media coverage of sg and then blast that roundup in to a daily feed that people (like me) could subscribe to? Yes, if you know what you’re doing Google and other search tools will do this for you, but I […]

Last night I saw 9/10s of the Gospel Songs of Elvis Presley or some such titled documentary that ran on PBS. I’m sure I’m mangling the title, but it’s on older piece (by the looks of it from the early 90s). Whenever PBS needs to drum up money, it pulls out old faithfuls like Elvis […]

While we’re on the subject of personnel changes, the last week or so has brought with it some muted but slowly building talk that Rodney Griffin is laying the groundwork to leave Greater Vision. Not so, says Gerald Wolfe, in a reply to an email I sent asking him about the situation. Griffin’s house is […]

I’m working with my back to the television and I hear this singer’s voice on the Macy’s Day parade and think “Wow that woman sounds a lot like Sandi Patty … singing a really schlocky song about Oklahoma rising.” I turn around and lo … SANDI PATTY herself … headlining the float from her home […]

That certainly seems to be the consensus (and I’m not just referring to this commenter, who I don’t know as far as I know, or this one, who we all know). One story has Ishee leaving PSQ to be replaced by the Anchormen’s Brian Elliot while Ishee goes home and into bidness with his brother. […]

KB makes some asute observations about Give it Away and living (and listening) in the age of stracks:
My only beef is with the tracks. Gaither’s got a full band that appears to be playing everything the track is doing, why not just LET THE BAND PLAY?! The real reason is because the Vocal Band (at […]

Reader TK breaks a long silence and writes with the email of the day:
Jason Crabb either created or revived a vocal move of sliding a note up during the last chorus of “I’m Amazed” with the Brooklyn Tab that Danny Riley is using in “Truth Is Marching On” and Kim Hopper is using in “He […]

So a little more on the Homeland resurrection: From what I can gather, Bill Traylor is partnering with the owner of a piano company that Traylor has an association with. The piano company appears to be moving operations to Nashville and the two of them are diving into the record bidness.

Speaking of pianos, be watching […]
