Bill honored Henry Slaughter for writing "What A Precious Friend Is He" and had her sing it. Talked about the In The Garden Album made by The Weatherford Quartet which included Earl (my Dad) & Lily Weatherford, Glen Payne, Armond Morales and Henry. Henry said they recorded it in 6 hours. It was great to see everyone and especially to visit with Henry & Hazel, Armond, Mike Allen, Larry Gatlin, too many others to name. I was there with my Mother, Lily Weatherford.

And Sue Dodge is a great performer. Kind of an unneeded slam there. Has Kirk Talley been invited back to the fold as of yet?

Earnies suit looks like a rug and the orange one, well, enough said. I know it is style and I am just getting old. I'm sure they all had a wonderful time. It would be awesome to be invited just to be a spectator. Always enjoy looking at the pictures, but, I had to laugh when I saw EHSSQ’s picture.

And it really looks like it was an "A-list". I really didn't see anyone missing, just like in the old days. Maybe this is Bill's outstretched hand of peace to the rest of sg. It looks like the NQC big wigs were all there. I saw Less and Gerald, Claude and Connie, and almost everyone that was anyone in sg. This should be a good one. Tremendous pictures.

He stated that Bill told him that he could only do so much with the video footage but could always go back into the studio and fix the audio. So even if the singing wasn't too good, which I doubt, I am sure the final products will be great. I am looking forward to seeing them. I heard on XM radio an interview with Jeff Easter a while back.

I, for one, thought it might never happen again. I'm looking forward to being first in line to buy these 4 DVD's. With Gaither's superior video and audio, this should be the sg DVD series of the year, but jealousy seems to get in the way on most everything. No, Gaither is not perfect, nor is sg, but the product is good for the most part and the lineup sounds fantastic. I look forward to it.

Musical taste vary greatly, as we all know... but I think it is important to temper our subjectivism when sharing our opinions...after all, we are talking about stuff for TV/DVD that will undergo extensive post-production. I have always thought that the underlying philosophy of the Homecoming series is to appeal to as many different taste as is reasonable. And that has to be good for SG and "the Kingdom"!

And I will be one of the first to order the DVD's as soon as they are released which, according to Gaithernet, will be in 2008. I have ALL of the rest and have totally enjoyed them!!!! Give the man credit - he has done great things for SGM since the inception of the videos and the homecoming concerts!! One other thing, Russ Taff was at my church recently and he is a great witness for our Lord. Keep up the exuberance and over-exuberance Russ!

Or Gold City's Truth Is Marching On? There were, of course, great artists sitting on stage that never got to sing, but I'm sure it's always that way. I got there late so I didn't hear Janet or Brian Free & Assurance sing, but I heard they did great. Did you not think Jeff & Sheri’s version of Over and Over was powerful?
