  • CathedralsTribute.com Redesign Launched (2)
    Amy Rogers: I noticed the redesign the other day. It’s my resource on a lot of discography related stuff.
    Brian: Looks great. Last time I visited I thought about how it could use a little modern sprucing. Thanks for the site…I’ve used it as a resource numerous times. That site has the...
    
  
  
  • A Hint: Guy Penrod to Return to GVB? (131)
    Dawn Spencer: For sure GVB isn’t as good as it was with Guy. I would go see Guy in concert before GVB now. I think with Guy leaving it has or will hurt GVB ratings. Miss you Guy!!!
    
  
  
  • Gaither Programming to debut on Hallmark (4)
    Meagan: This is a link to what I think you are looking for. If you go to Gaither.com, there is always a link to a promotional package recently seen on TV. Here is the direct link. Hope this helps!...
    Gail: What was the promotional 800 number that Gaither advertised at the end of the program on Hallmark today 11/20/09. It was 1-800-771 ????? I didn’t get the rest of the number. Did anyone...
    Bev: This is great especially since we don’t get any of the gospel stations on our cable.
    Meagan: I think this is a great thing. Besides PBS stations and country music stations, I do not know of another secular channel that carries Gaither programs or other Gospel music programming....
    
  
  
  • Palmetto State to appear on Oprah (25)
    DeAnn: Burman Porter is one of the best out there. As it comes to PSQ being in secular venues – they are backing up Wynonne during her Christmas tour and then doing some SGM while Wyonne...
    Daniel J. Mount: I’ll say you can blame it on being 25 if you like. Blame it on whatever you like! Fact is, my reason is simple enough: I have no interest in any secular music.
    Amy Rogers: OK, well I tried! Usually people tell me I’m too young, so …
    Meagan: I agree, Daniel. I do the same, nowadays, also I have a small bit of interest in secular music as well. I enjoyed the harmonies of Naomi and Wynonna Judds when they performed as The Judds....
    Meagan: SG is my primary love, but I do occasionally enjoy listening to other genres.
    Meagan: I can’t say that you can blame it on that as I am 25 also and I know of her. Good try though! Haha!
    Daniel J. Mount: Oh. And Burman Porter was hardly shabby, either. And Wesley Smith (now of Dixie Echoes fame).
    Amy Rogers: I clear forgot about Aaron McCune. I my dad might have some other PSQ music, historical relics by now.
    Amy Rogers: I only have about 2,000, and a portion of that is Primitive Quartet. (jealous pout)
    Daniel J. Mount: My interest in PSQ comes from the fact that they had an absolutely incredible lineup when I first discovered Southern Gospel in 2004—John Rulapaugh, Kerry Beatty, Tony Peace, Aaron...
    
  
  
  • Signature Sound leaving Gaither tour? (31)
    Meagan: On the other hand, there are often people at Family Fest that do not regularly tour with the Gaithers.
    Benjamin: Let me start by saying that I am big a fan of EHSSQ. I attended an intimate video taping for their new Christmas album that will appear on the Gospel Music Channel this Christmas. There...
    
  
  
  • Talleys single “He’s Alive” (3)
    Aaron Swain: David Phelps sang this on his first solo project in 1994, Journey To Grace. This rendition is just as good!
