I had a chance to see the full DVD of Give it Away this past weekend, and though I’m going to complain a bit about for a while (not least of all to retain my curmudgeonly bonafides and keep the interns from thinking I’m a softie), it’s pretty much engrossingly captivatingly good. Before I rhapsodize, […]

The Homeland label looks to be coming back (David Bruce Murray floats a “magic three” thesis about the need for a third established record company here). My first question about the Homeland resurrection is, yeah but will the new Homeland be any better at paying its bills and royalties than the old one? I […]

From one of our farflung correspondents:
Total meltdown at Gaither.com over the cancellation of Jubil…whatever in Memphis. Just a total meltdown. The issue is that no one from Gaither announced this and folks red it on The Singing News website and not on Gaither’s official site. The kids running the site apparently feel like those folks […]

The media info says that Southern Gospel Music fans and Music Memorabilia collectors may visit eBay to bid on.. “a beautiful leather sofa with two matching […]

As you may have seen from a comment in the Second Mile thread, it looks like Buddy Mullins and his wife, Channing Eleton and Paul Lancaster have formed a new group. See here. I kind of like the name, about as much as I did Second Mile, for what that’s worth. I had heard that […]

Update: Several commenters have asked about where Buddy Mullins’ wife, Kerri, is in all this since she was the third member of the trio. I only know what I read, but I assume that whatever transpired amongst Mullins, Henderson, and Eleton, Kerri Mullins went the way of her husband. And just for grins and giggles, […]

By now you may have seen the clever “news” bit about the Dove Brothers on Letterman. Here’s Chuck Peters:
They didn’t actually make an appearance, but the Dove Brothers were mentioned on CBS Television’s The Late Show with David Letterman. During one of the segments on last night’s program,.. Letterman pointed out humorus […]
