Saturday News Roundup #23

A couple of stories I didn’t get to this week:

• One I should definitely have mentioned earlier: Songwriter Roy Overholt, author of “Hallelujah Square” and “Ten Thousand Angels,” passed away.
• The winners of the Diamond Awards were announced. This year, the voting evidently had a strong turnout among Isaacs fans.
• Canaan Records brought in Southern Gospel fan Tim Pruitt, who looks quite a bit like Santa Claus, for photos with artists and fans during NQC. Their photos are here.
• Wes Burke over at Burke’s Brainwork noticed a compression issue I evidently missed when reviewing the Mike LeFevre Quartet’s newest CD, Nothin’ but Good.

Several artist bloggers have shared their takes on NQC. Worth reading:

• Keith Waggoner (Liberty Quartet)
• Wes Hampton (Gaither Vocal Band) *One sentence particularly worthy of note: “I’m pretty sure we’ll be back again next year.“
• Madison Easter (Jeff & Sheri Easter)
• Paul Jackson (Prophets Quartet)
• Debbie Bennett
• Breanna (Crist Family)

I still have a stack of CDs picked up at NQC to review, and until I’ve reviewed them, I’ll refrain from posting an upcoming reviews schedule.
