I’m with #15! That was my first thought…somebody opened the wallet and Tim had a revelation from the Lord!

#23…priceless!

#23 LOLROTF!!! Classic, just classic!

In the real world people come and go all the time without much hooplah! Back here on Fantasy SG island we have to have a reason why someone would leave what many would view as a “dream come true” gig not realizing the work and effort that it takes to be on the road. Can we not let them be and figure out what they need to do without all this?

I guess we are so “big in our own eyes” we feel we need to justify why we have done something. If it is what you need to do, in the words of Mike, “JUST DO IT!!!” No need for further explanation because it is your life and you have to make decisions based on information that nobody else has or needs to have.

I see no problem with Tim’s actions.

But in any case, I thought both press releases were well done. It was good to see a group openly acknowledge the contributions of an outgoing member.

Likely the reason that people like Scott Fowler have had to get press releases out early is because of the information superhighway/rumormill that can do more damage than good because more often than not at least some of the information is incorrect.

Eric,
Actually, it was DBM who alluded on MusicScribe, then Doug tied the pieces together - but the “inside information” was leaked elsewhere

Eric - and unforturenately the initial release came from apparently from Tim, with a later comment from Scott. It may have been a knee-jerk reaction to comments like the previous thread on non-announcements.

If it had been the press spreading rumor (does not look like it, in this instance), we could blame the press. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I REALLY like blaming the press for anything I can.

You are right Wacky Thinker. Why should people spead the rumors when they are not sure of what will happen next. Let the artists breathe for a change and get their thoughts together. It was also let out on this website about the artist who hit the number one spot for September in an earlier thread last week. That information according to Singing News policy was not to be let out in any way shape, form, or fashion on any print or internet media format. The rules were broken and it is unfair for everyone else who abide by the rules and then some don’t.

I seem to remember a recent thread about NOT announcing a group member’s departure until the replacement was hired. There was some bashing of that practice (which is probably not as wide-spread in the top-tier groups as was purported). Now, Tim and Scott are being trashed for what probably amounts to jumping the gun in their announcement. Some of us are never satisfied!

Eric#9 Right on! I agree. people are always ready to jump on the band wagon when there’s bashing going on and you hear lots about the bad and the ugly. But when there is a positive thing happening it’s not worth mentioning. We love Three Bridges here in Ohio. They sing in some of our biggest Nazarene Churches. Their harmony and blend is actually better than it was. Scott is young and energetic and his Christian Contemporary background has lent a new twist to the Bridges.The tenor, Eddy, is not the highest,but he blends beautifully, and Elliott is a master as master co ceremonies and southern drawl in his voice hits the note everytime. I don’t understand why they are not on the convention line-up as well as other venues. Of course unless there are people that feel threatened by their continued success. And we all know it’s not what you know, It’s who you know. And we think the Presidential race is political.Obama and McCain wouldn’t stand a chance in the SG circles. There are some nasty people out there. Good Luck and God speed Three Bridges! I await their new cd coming out in August.

I’d guess that maybe a little raise probably talked Tim back into coming.

I think that the situation was resolved like this: when Frank’s wife Libby was transferred to Dallas, there was no regular flight between Dallas and Nashville, where Legacy Five is based. But, sometime during the auditions for a new tenor, a regular flight between the two cities came into exisitance. So Frank stayed with the group.

Can anyone back me up on this and tell me if it is correct?

i heard he decided to stay after he decided to leave, before he decided to announce he was leaving, then stayed……

Bear in mind too, that L5 formed and practiced prior to 2000 I believe, so they may have closer to 9 years of tenure and of course were it not for his promotion, Roger would be there making two previous tenors being the only personnel changes it would have had.
