Reader (and twitterpater) RF weighs in here on the the avfl Twitter feed, and/but I’d like to hear from some others of you twitter readers. Is it worth the trouble? There are so far about two dozen “followers” signed up for the avfl feed. Are other people reading directly from the avfl Twitter page or […]

After reading some other blogs it seams that even the lay person can look around and figure out simple reasons for bad sound.  I would be interested if anyone could send me pics of audio set up to evaluate.  Being a former sound man for a SG group, I used […]

Welcome to another year of live-blogging the NQC. For the newcomers, what follows is a nightly digest I put together after each evening concert. It’s written late (as I begin to write this, it is 1221 on Friday morning; as I put the final edits on it, it’s 235 301), and it’s based on a […]

So the interns (and M and C) have convinced me to try Twittering NQC this year. I emphasize “try” because I’m only half-sure I know how this whole thing works (if you’re unfamiliar and want to jump in the deep end, try this as an explainer). Nevertheless, I gather that if you want to be […]

My friend B from Nville kicks things off:
Based on the discussions, I’ve tuned into the SolidGospel.com live feed.  I’m up to the Kingdom Heirs and I have to wave the white flag and quit for the night.  Here’s my statement for the small investment of time I’ve made tonight:  The Mike Lefevre […]

From Charles Brady:
NQC really needs to question the benefit of providing live unmixed/poorly mixed feeds for solid gospel to broadcast. (What I heard last night sounded like the little kids may have been singing and doing the mixing. ) If you can’t get it mixed correctly most people just can’t handle the raw unmixed vocals..  […]

Responding to my complaints about tonight’s performances, Eric asks:
[Then] why listen if you don’t like it?
Because one pretty decent definition of a southern gospel fan is that no matter how bad it gets, we always hope it will get better real soon, and who’d wanna miss that?

I’m listening to the NQC Solid Gospel feed and Gerald Wolfe is doing his best to create for the new tenor, Jacob Kitson, a signature narrative like the one that Waldroup had (you know the one … how Wolfe auditioned Jason in that little concrete box of a stairwell over there in Freedom Hall etc).

Via DBM’s liveblogging of the Solid Gospel Monday-night feed:
9:20 PM - The Inspirations begin with “Amazing Grace.” Fans are already applauding by the end of verse one. Archie Watkins sounds like a rooster[.]
Heheh. Sounds about right to me, though it seems awfully unfair to roosters.

I just got a chance to log on to Solid Gospel to catch a few minutes of the NQC mainstage lineup and mostly have heard a bunch of ads: ads for smoking cessation, ads for religious organizations pushing their “election guides” (uh huh), and ads with Gary Casto promising to put your group in touch […]
