I bought the soundtrack album for my quartet and we've already staged "Christmas With A Capital 'C'" last week and had a great response... I think it's my favorite Christmas song right now!

The first SSQ Christmas is alright, especially "come make a place"....some of it is fluff though. I don't have L5's Christmas CD yet. To Scott Fowler: You're not that old are you?? I had to think that Frank Seamans last night is coming soon...any chance of a live internet feed again??? The best SG Christmas CD I’ve got is a double CD, one side Cathedrals, the other Gold City.

I am getting old and I expect that will go down as one of my best over-all performances on a recording.

I particularly enjoyed their arrangement of "Who Do You Think" that the Statler Brothers did on their "New Testament" album. It sounded very fresh and modern. "Tonight" and "Glory To God In The Highest" were standouts on there as well. Haven't had the chance to hear their new Christmas stuff. I've gotten mixed reviews, so I'm interested in what it sounds like. #50: I really liked EHSS’s first Christmas project as well.

Such as, "Glory To God In The Highest," "Light," and "Who Do You Think." I really don't like Christmas music all that well, but 4-part SG harmony with fresh, tight arrangements make it so much better.

I know it’s not the most popular genre, but there’s something about the simple twangy harmonies and the combination and blending of four good southern voices that get me every time. EH & SS is one of the hottest gospel groups in the business, and their version of this song is unbeatable. Ernie sang the same song when he was with the Cathedrals (disputably the greatest southern gospel quartet of all time), but with his new cast of young, fresh voices behind him, there is no contest. Ladies, if you like deep voices there is a great bass solo in the second verse. Eat your hearts out. Check this out:

Check it out at www.erniesigsound.com. It's only $20, and it has 13 of the 16 songs from the CD. (Unfortunately, Mr. Heat Miser didn't make it!) I've got mine ordered so I will get to see the program shortly. # 44 Doug Sword — I didn’t get to see the Gospel Music Channel presentation, but as of last week you can buy the video of it from EHSS.

If you haven't had a chance to see it, EHSS did a Christmas special on Gospel Music Network. It had several songs from the project. It was so well produced. It shows how good SGM can be when it is professionally staged. HW, I couldn’t agree more. “Every Light That Shines at Christmas” is several cuts above most Christmas projects, SG or not.
