Comments on: NQC 07 http://averyfineline.com/2007/02/02/nqc-07/ Criticism and commentary on southern gospel music Tue, 22 May 2012 18:29:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3 By: skyline singer http://averyfineline.com/2007/02/02/nqc-07/#comment-124085 skyline singer Wed, 19 Sep 2007 18:28:36 +0000 http://averyfineline.com/2007/02/02/nqc-07/#comment-124085 This is in response to #31. Could you please enlighten us with your definition of "doing something for gospel music?" If you mean endless miles of travel, countless hours of rehearsal and performance, and 10's of thousands of your own money spent to keep your group on the road, then we more than qualify. We were blessed to perform on main stage and it had nothing to do with "buying our spot." As you can imagine, that can't happen. As to your asking Clark Beasley to "wake up," Clark is not even on the board so he has no input into talent selection for the NQC. Now as to your question about our radio presence. We have appeared on compilations from the Eddie Crook Company, Rick Hendricks Company, Rhonda Thompson Promotions, and Journey Records during the last 5 years. We have consistently charted songs in the Singing News with our last 2 singles reaching #35 and #18 respectively. I find it hard to believe that your radio station does not receive any of these compilations. We also perform a full-time schedule of about 175 dates per year. Thanks for your interest in our group. I hope this clears up any confusion as to our worthiness to appear at NQC. This is in response to #31.

GVB & EHSS were both invited and both declined. I've gone from an EHSS supporter to an "anything-but-them" guy. ...then not even having the dignity to show up and graciously receive the awards...guess who I won't be voting for this year?? Good point, Cathy.

To me, they don't care about the fans like before. The majority of fans are at NQC period. All groups should be there regardless of when or whether they sing. How can SG music be attractive to the younger ones if they feel all these groups don't get along??????????? Here is something you can take to the bank….EH&SS, Gaither, and all the others

Thats great, Im sure Charlie Burke giving up his post to his son Greg may have helped the soloist cause. Someone please tell me what have the Skyline Boys done for Gospel Music. Chuck is also reporting that they are singing on the Main Stage. Ive always heard that this NQC Board could be bought. Well now I beleive it. Ive been Playing Southern Gospel Music for 10 yrs. and have never even seen them on a compilation Disc. Have they ever charted on Singing News? How many dates do they do a year. Clark Beasley needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Ron F. Now I have heard it all, Chuck Peters is reporting that Ivan Parker will perform on the Main Stage.

NQC can and will do whatever they want. It does not revolve around EHSSQ. If they were invited and have declined, maybe they don't feel the need to be there. Makes no difference to me. There are a lot of great groups to listen to. I don’t think EHSSQ not showing up last yr. had anything to do with this yrs. fan awards. NQC can and will do whatever they want.

Thursday evening is rockin' though. I gotta give 'em that. More than anything, I'm VERY dissappointed in teh slashed Fan Awards. No Qt of the Year, No Bass, Baritone, Lead, or Tenor Awards - pretty much "no nothing." Could this be because EHSS declined the invitation last year? BTW, EHSS WAS INVITED AND DECIDED NOT TO COME THIS YEAR! It's not NQC's fault. I'm dissappointed in Ernie in this case... I must agree that I was dissappointed in the Fri-Sat evening lineups.

Then all would be on equal footing--those who wear hats and those who wear rugs, without having to embarrass one group or the other. Equal embarrassment for all, I say.

Is Driven listed anywhere?

Could it be that these artist who aren't at NQC have found it more financially advantageous to, say, go to South Africa, sell out a theatre, and shoot a video that will sell like mad in the states? Maybe its more (or less, imo) than just Ben's hat. Could it be completely monetary? Could it possibly not have anything to do with clothing at all?
