Crabbs —
So you’ve no doubt seen that the Crabb Family is back together again, sort of (h/t, DY). A reader writes of this latest reunion gambit, “I can’t get excited about them getting back together cause seems like every year they are at it again. It’s really like they never went away.” Precisely. How can we […]
Thanks to reader RK for first alerting me this a.m. to Justin Ellis’s departure as the all-purpose keyboard player for several of the various Crabb family spin-offs out there. This comment suggests he going to work for John Hagee, which makes sense since one of the Crabb twins and his wife signed on with Hagee […]
Well then, the news that Mike and Kelly Bowling have sent the third member of their group’s most recent incarnation packing, hired Terah Crabb Penhollow to fill out their trio, and (yet again) renamed themselves – this time, as The Bowling Family – has certainly created a lively conversation, hasn’t it?
I’ll explore some of […]
Our favorite (and maybe only?) Irish reader, Irishlad, mentioned a clip of the Crabb Family singing the old Hinsons classic “I Could Still Go Free” and so I went and tracked it down. Take a look (the embed feature has been disabled, but it’s worth clicking through to).
I remember this moment vividly from NQC […]
So as you’ve probably seen, Jason Crabb signed with Spring Hill. Brandon Coomer (whose avfl welcome to the blogosphere is long overdue) makes some salient points about the signing. David Bruce Murray follows up here.
First, I’m not sure why anyone would sign with a label that has a website as badly out of […]
Via Daniel Mount, I see the Crabbs are staging a “reunion” at NQC. Huh? The engines on their buses haven’t even had time to cool down since the family’s “retirement” and we’re already having a reunion? This seems like a fine example of taking a good idea, running it into the ground, and breaking it […]
Perhaps the approach of the Crabb Family’s final concert has seeped into my subconscious because even though I haven’t been consciously thinking that much about it lately (in fact, hadn’t thought about it in months until I read this), I woke up this morning with “He Came Looking for Me” running through my head. […]
Too much A lot has been said about Gerald Crabb ebaying a Singing News #1 plaque for “Don’t You Wanna Go.” I was mostly content to let people talk themselves through this one — until I read a comment that suggested gospel songwriters who don’t hang on to every last piece of hardware their best […]
Here’s what Gerald Crabb has to say about the ebaying of Crabb memorabillia:
Why would Gerald put a # 1 plaque on Ebay ?
First, because I live in America and in America after you have reached the age of twenty one you have rights. One of those rights is putting items on Ebay if you are […]
Somebody (Gerald Crabb?*) is selling off a bit of the Crabb Family legacy before the farewell tour is even over (hat tip, JB). Ouch. Current bid: $2.25. Double ouch.
*The Ripley, MS, connection is the tip off that this is probably Crabb.
