Syncopated clapping is not on the beat and not even. In other words, it isn’t on one and 3 or two and four, but say something like on one, the second half of four and then one. At least that is my perception of what he meant. It is likely worse than my scenario.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is syncopated clapping?

I thoroughly enjoyed the concert review. I don’t get to go to a lot of them, so these kind of things let me know what goes on “live.” I love the Booth Bros, though I have never seen them in person.

One quick note about “Orphans of God”: the first time I heard that song, it was sung w/ a soundtrack by some orphaned/abandoned girls from India (I believe) in a college chapel. Not a dry eye in the place by halfway through it. A professor went to them afterwards and emptied his wallet because he was so touched (it was not an insignificant amount, either). The song is different from most SG, granted, but really listening to it will convince you of the never-ending or waning love of God. Thanks, Joel & Twila, for one of my favorite songs!

I don’t understand, All three groups at a church for a L O. When I called to have just 1 group come to Ohio they want to charge $4 to $5K. How do you get all three to come for a LO.

I missing something ???

I can get 350 people to come, out but after I pay for printing, Building Exp., postage, tickets, Food, Gas to travel to drop off fliers, give-a-ways, Help and the Cost for the Group, I’m in the hole.

How many people were at the concert in FL

I think the artist was right that said he/she would “find out everything they did wrong” on the blog. I think honesty is refreshing, but I get the impression that Doug can’t or won’t enjoy anyone or anything that isn’t 150% perfect. And I do mean perfect. I think someone forgot that everyone is actually human. Yea, human. Every heard the word before?

Overall, nice review, but every time I read his concert reviews I cringe because I know he’s gonna capitalize on the “nitty grittys” of the concert rather than just enjoying. I’d hate to sing to a crowd in which I knew Doug was present. I could sing my best and really feel the Spirit and still Doug would leave saying everything he thought I did wrong. I’d hate to see him review a local group’s concert. He’d pick them apart so hard that when he was done there’d be nothing but feathers.

For what it’s worth - I like Daryl Williams, personally and professionally.

I also really like the tune Orphans of God. I think it’s a little like fine wine (or grape juice, if you prefer). You’ve got to savor it a bit to really appreciate it. I heard it on the last Avalon record for almost a year before the lyric finally picked me up and body slammed me into a box of Kleenex. It doesn’t surprise me that an audience might not get it the first time around. By the way, Joel didn’t write this one alone so give Twila Labar, his co-writer, some props too.

Group of the Year and a concert in the Dallas area that actually came close to 1000 people. Having seen a multitude of concerts NOT well attended, the Booth Brothers are finally getting some name recognition around here.

One other note, I could tell by all the upside down frowns as fans left that concert that the crowd didn’t “get” the Booth Brothers either. Keep up the good work guys!!!!!

“FYI,
Daryl has been re-writing “He’s Still in the Fire” for 5 years now

This song was written by Tim Hill”

oops - I shouldn’t write from memory without checking the facts. re# 8 - I thought Avery enjoyed the concert. There were good things there about each group, obviously his favorite was the Booth Brothers. I for one have never really enjoyed the Talley Trio in concert, obviously many others, (including my wife) disagree with my assessment. I don’t see anything wrong with that.

I also didn’t get the impression that Doug didn’t enjoy the concert. He had many nice things to say about the groups. But you can count on Doug to let you know where improvements stand to be made. I love that about this blog. And I’m sure that there are many SG groups that cringe when they are mentioned here, but his CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is usually right-on! Great post!

I enjoyed the post. One of the things I most appreciate is the honesty of your reviews. You and David Bruce Murray have brought a sense of integrity to critique that has been missing for years.

Re #8: “It just seems that you don’t enjoy the concerts you talk about.”

I certainly didn’t get that impression from the review. Obviously the majority of voters for Group of the Year didn’t agree with your assessment.
