Slightly OT but not really as it’s to do with Peg McKamey.On their home page she states that: Gospel music has gotten bigger,more people attending,stronger songs and better music to go with it.For someone who’s being singing since 1954 she would notice the changing trends,for better or worse.I must say i agree wholeheartedly with her and that flies in the face of ones who are RIPing Sg.

I love the pure sounds of Mountain - Appalachian - Bluegrass Music. There’s nothing like it.
It’s so nice to hear actual voices and instruments and not be assaulted by loud, muffled sound systems.
One of my favorite Gospel Bluegrass groups is The Maharreys. Here is one of there songs……..pure music. Their CD “Full Circle” is still one of my absolute favorites.
Song - “Did You Forget God Today?”
