The dogs, the tennis shoes, the "why are you taking my picture" look on his face. Does Mr. Combs have a pr guy. If so, he should be fired. If not, he should get one soon.

I know he made reference that he was going to move his family, but at the same time, talked as if he wasn't exactly sure what the Lord had planned for him. Didn't know if someone had heard since it has been several weeks since he left the station. Does anyone know what Rodney Baucom, previously of Joy FM, is doing?

Jeff and Sheri Easter (and of course Charlotte) will be on the Grand Ole Opry tonight. It ought to be a fun time. I got to spend a little time with them this morning and they are all very excited about the upcoming taping of "We Are Family" In Mt. Airy NC September 28-29. Jeff & Sheri, The Lewis Family and The Easter Brothers - that's going to be a night to remember! Heads up to all you “Nashvillians” out there.

No album has ever been released under "The Easters". That's just the way it's been for 22 years (Char was in grade school in those days). That's how they started and that's what the group was built on. I just wanted to tell everyone that is still saying "Oh they don't let her sing" or "They don't feature Charlotte" to go read my comments back and forth between other people in the comment section of that "Wednesday round up" post. That should answer some questions. Take Care God Bless -ME #65 Q-man,

Don't know whether it's new material, or a "best of" type collection, but Martins' fans will want to keep their eyes & ears open.

The answer is the same way calling the Gaither Vocal Band instead of Bill Gaither does for the GVB. No matter how you spin it, Jeff and Sheri Easter sounds like they are the only two people in the group. The Easters sounds like the entire troupe. You said in another post that they were always known as Jeff & Sheri Easter, but I thought I saw some tracks or something that said the Easters. I could be wrong. If they were always known as that, I can understand not changing it now. However, it still sounds like a duet. :-) Imagine your whole family going to meet the president and were introduced as Jeff and Sheri Easter. Wouldn't if feel as if you and the rest of the family were not noticed? :) #50 Madison

As for allowing Jim to sing more, he is featured on about every third song so I think the Booth Brothers do a great job of featuring him equally. As for being "scattered" as you put it, every group can have an off night, timing wise but almost every time I've seen them, their timing and program have been very thought out and carried out. Are we even discussing the same group???? Was this thread supposed to be a venting session about the groups we don't like and why????

The guy that created this site did this to solely spread the disease commonly known as "Gossip" "A man who lacks judgment derides his neighbor, but a man of understanding holds his tongue. A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret" (Proverbs 11:12-13). I cant believe people actually get into arguments over such pitty topics.

Does anybody know the deal with the Booth Brothers and the CD on their website that has the song "Look for Me at Jesus Feet"? is it a table project or will it make it's way to retail?

A whole lot of TAG stuff is very late - including Rick Cua and a Parade of Pianos CD Featuring Roger Bennett and Dino. I've heard the Crossway CD "A Beautiful Thing" and enjoyed it. I'm not a critic by any means, but I do know what I like and I like the direction they are going with this CD. I just hope they can get it into retail stores soon.

Maybe she's working for both companies on a consultant-type basis. And I wonder whatever happened to Crossway's cd that was supposed to have been released a year ago through Word? Seems it got delayed a couple times, then cancelled. I read somewhere it was coming out this past May as an independent, but no one seems to know anything about it. Has anyone heard anything? Are they tied in with the Kathy Crabb/McRae/Mike & Kelly Bowling conglomerate? Sounds like Crystal may be doing double-duty. Maybe she’s working for both companies on a consultant-type basis.
