Comments on: Open thread http://averyfineline.com/2007/12/18/open-thread-5/ Criticism and commentary on southern gospel music Wed, 23 May 2012 10:28:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3 By: Wes http://averyfineline.com/2007/12/18/open-thread-5/#comment-363467 Wes Fri, 28 Mar 2008 16:25:22 +0000 http://averyfineline.com/2007/12/18/open-thread-5/#comment-363467 This is to all the unlearned people who want to bash Young Harmony for being successfull. Ist they have billboards up for a reason and they call that Marketing !! And they do get alot of call off the billboards. Something maybe others should do if they want to be working more than just 1 or 2 days a week. I would say that the guy who was laughing ( #7 Andrew Jackson ) at the billboard ideal really knows nothing about Marketing or Promotion. And its probably no fault of yours for being unlearned or trained in this field, because I know things could be rough out there on the road ( if you are on the road ) working the 2 days a week thing. You need to work at least 3 days to be up to par to even think about getting your own billboard . And you may say to yourself, why would I want one? Maybe because it gets more Bookings, Humm.. SO next time you want to laugh at someone, you need to take notice and ask yourself, How come I have overdraft charges in my bank account and Johnathan doesnt..? Could it be because he is a marketing Genius.. I think so !!! Not to mention a Great Guy.. Johnathan may God Blees you even more so you can help Andrew Jackson get his own billboard and get some of those overdraft charges off his ban account..

I did know that he sang with The Stamps during the Elvis era...but so did Richard Sterban of the Oaks. Who came first? Anyone know? The most notable thing I know about Strickland is that he married Naomi Judd! (And there was trouble in paradise at one time there too...but I guess they kissed and made up!) Do you think Gaither will do a Judds reunion video next? Which SG artists will make guest appearances to sing the hits of the Judds? EHSSQ will probably cover "Rockin' With The Rhythm of the Rain" or "Have Mercy"...or both?! I don’t know much about Larry Strickland.

They could always sing good, but since Joyce's recent conversion at a Nashville revival, I can't help but think that she's singing with a genuineness like never before. I truly admire her for being bold enough to make a public commitment to follow Christ, after having been in this industry for so long. She gained a lot of respect with me where that's concerned.

Usually a master would not revert back to the artist but I'm wondering if the actual original 2-track analog masters still exist (let alone the 2" multitracks); and/or whether or not they've been digitized. With all the changes in ownership, label mergers and dissolutions, I'm wondering if they're still in a vault somewhere, being kept for possible future remastering or just archival purposes.

I won't reveal who that is...... I have no idea about a label or if they even intend to finish the CD or continue touring. I do know that Jay Demarcus has produced what has been done so far. Time will tell. Practical fellow:

The story listed Larry Strickland on the by-line and contained many self-congratulatory lines, ending with the humble thought, "Most importantly, Larry brings his beautiful bass voice back into gospel music." I know nothing of Mr. Strickland and the press release may well have been written by someone else, but I think he needs to remove his name from authorship if he's going to be so gushy about his own talents.
