Love the Crabbs music but it will be interesting to see how they hold up over the years with different arrangements instead of reworking the same arrangement.

He has said for some time, now, that he desires to preach. And with all the kids have gone through with their family changes, I know I'd have trouble maintaining "business as usual". Rather than speculate on all that's happening, maybe we should pray for all involved, believing that God will be honored in all that transpires.

We just booked him for March, 2008, to sing and preach in the AM service and do a concert in the PM service. Think he's going to be an active servant for The Lord!

Why did he leave his family? Is it a solo career he seeks? Its sorda unfair to them for him to walk away from a decade plus ministry to be solo.

There is rumor he is talking with Clint Brown's ministry in Florida. Don't know what that means. Jason said last week (from the stage) that he’d like to pastor.

It's a strong ballad. In another 10 or 15 years, someone will record it a little differently and have a powerhouse single with it. There's a gem in the Crabb catalog that most people haven't even heard. It's from their "Crabbgrass" recording, and it's called "The Crossing's Wide". This is another big song waiting to happen for somebody. It could go over well right now, because it wasn't one of their better-known songs. It's a great one.

Also, I guess they will sing some from the Crabb Farewell project and put that on the table as well. I have heard announcements from everybody in the Crabb clan concerning their future plans except for Jason. Are they waiting for convention to tell his future plans or did I just miss it?
