I don’t mean to hurt anybody’s feelings by asking this, but why in the world are these two people, their musicians, and their “music” SO popular? The whole shtick seems so very insincere. Sort of like musical alligator tears at times, in a manner of speaking. With a couple exceptions, most of the time the music itself is hokey, and the words feel contrived and trivial. The diction of most all of the singers is rather unprofessional. It mostly sounds like a group of wanna be Country-Western musicians who are singing “sacred” words framed by the music. And, don’t get me started on the spoken moments by Gloria Gaiter. How overly-sentimental can you get?? it’s pushing the envelope beyond normal in terms of sentimentality. It’s a bit like a Jerry Lewis telethon in Country-Western format style. That is my two cents.

I have stopped buying the new Gaither
videos coming out because of the songs. Where has our past gone? The quartets to me do not have the old convention style once treasured and loved. We need to see more groups like the Speer Family.

GospelMusicFan, my apologies. After I browsed your site more and clicked on more links, I realized that the dates on the links are the dates you posted them, not the dates of the concerts/events/etc. Sorry - - My bad.

GospelMusicFan, you answered a TON of questions I had. And you gave support for all of it. Thank you very much. And I do appreciate the warmth of your posting…a very welcome attitude.

BTW, I think you have the wrong date on:
“12.28.07 Ann Downing at Kinmundy Christian Church’s Holiday Gospel Showcase ” because the info that announcement links to says the concert is on the 30th. (Just wanting to be a blessing

Comment: A few years back on the way south , we stop in the FCC for a Sunday morning service. We were running late and had a hard time finding the church for the first time. We stop at a car garage where we asked two grease covered men where the church was located. They said “Oh, you mean Ken and Wesley’s church. Those people are hard working people will do anything to help someone out.
What a testimony for a church!

Well I was at a Gaither Event in Myrtle Beach where BG was unable to be there do to a Medical issue. Mark Lowry was the host for the entire event. He did an outstanding job. As far as the suggestion of Guy Penrod taking over, well the man has a Great voice but there was a moment when he spoke and I have to tell you it is not his thing. So I would say he is NOT the man for the job. But if and when there comes a time to pass the torch I’m sure BG and GG have someone in mind. And I have to say that some of Gloria’s little speech’s are very moving, they can get a little long winded. But I will say she is a wonderful interviewer. I love the interview work she did on the Isaacs DVD.
Happy New Year to everyone!

#20 Buick, EH is highly overrated. He has gotten some good breaks mostly by his association with the Younce family. As this was recently discussed on another Avery topic I won’t be redundant, Nepotism and favors can’t be discounted in this case.

Scott, (#5) there is one thing in your over the top emotional tirade that I agree with;
“Carol Cymbala gets it.”

Buick (#4) and Alan, (#13) we disagree about GG but I appreciate the tone of your posts.

natesings is correct. Marshall has an awesome voice that gives a great fresh treatment to old standard songs. BUT, BG is so darned loyal to his friends that he seems to put loyalty above talent sometimes. To wit: EH (as I think the entire blogosphere seems to agree. Doe anyone think he is better than acceptable as a tenor - and perhaps not even that?)
