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.
