Comments on: The Inspirations unveil new lineup—UPDATED http://www.southerngospelblog.com/archives/2193 Positive Daily Commentary on Southern Gospel Sat, 20 Mar 2010 14:35:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Jeff Hinshaw http://www.southerngospelblog.com/archives/2193/comment-page-1#comment-20993 Jeff Hinshaw Sat, 07 Feb 2009 14:42:32 +0000 http://www.southerngospelblog.com/?p=2193#comment-20993 Saw the I's in Wilkesboro last nite. I was worried as not having Archie on tenor fulltime is a thought none of us want to embrace. However, I was delighted, impressed, and down right tickled with the new sound. Dallas fits right in and brings a new shot of energy to the group. David's voice is a good fit as well. You can see the enthusiasm on stage and it was refreshing. Their harmonies were very impressive given the relative short time together. I think things will be just fine! Saw the I’s in Wilkesboro last nite.

He will do just fine with inspirations. Also, this is a worthy thing to note that he is the first Filipino in Southern Gospel Music! That's great, and praise the Lord for that!

The guys were joking about him being Filipino, I guess he had filled in a few years back for a couple of concerts. I am excited he got the job. I am also thrilled a fellow PCC (pcci.edu) grad is in a full time southern gospel group, which I believe may also be a first.

Although, I would agree with you that we are probably in the minority with our wide variety of tastes within the SG world. :) Seriously, I think it will be good for the Inspirations to have a stable lineup and I am looking forward to hearing the new guys. Also, I think it will be good for Archie to take it a little easier so we can enjoy him for many more years. Daniel,

If so that would make it difficult to do both. I talked to Darrens brother a couple months ago, and if I remember correctly, he told me Darren was a full-time pastor.

Did he turn the job down? Did they not offer it to him? He's helped them out so much over the last several years that, IMO, he deserved a spot if he wanted it. Nate, that was my first thought, too.
