Saturday News Roundup #31
In the news
- Canaan Records is offering a free digital download of a complete sampler CD of tracks from Canaan artists. Visit http://www.canaanrecords.com/sampler/index.html and input your email address and the code “FREEGIFT”.
- The Gaither Homecoming Tour is scheduled to make an appearance in Dothan, Alabama on January 30. Impressively, according to this article, the event sold out all 2,800 seats in four hours’ time. (The article also says Bill Gaither is “known in Southern gospel circles as the king of the genre.” Interesting.)
- The court case resulting from the accident that killed Canadian Gospel singer Warren Parker of the Parker Trio has been resolved. The lawyer for the drunk driver that killed Parker and left the scene of the accident was able to get his client probation by persuading the jury that the driver was disoriented and “not coherent enough to register that someone had been killed.”

Hey Daniel, about the Crossroads thing … Did you try that? All I’m getting is one song by the Mike LeFevre Quartet – “Didn’t It Rain.”

Same here, Daniel. The link promises the sampler CD, but when you sign up, you only get the LeFevre song. Wonder who got their wires crossed?

We were able privelidged to get to know the Parkers when they sang at the summer camp a few years in a row. He was great—funny. We were shocked to hear of his death.
