Hi My name is Kathy Beverly and I have ordered your CD’s. I wonder if it is possible to get the lyrics to any of your songs? I want to sing a few of your songs as a special at church but it is hard to listen to the words and write them down. I have, Just Thinking, Purpose,……Gone to Meetin, Sing Praises. I love your songs and listen to your CD’s all the time. How can I get the lyrics to your songs? If possible that is….thank you and God Bless you like you have me with your songs!

If you ask him, he’ll be GLAD to do it.
That’s how I got to hear it a second time.

Though Jack’s solos did move the audience, he didn’t do the one you mentioned. That would have been nice to hear. (Like I would need an excuse to go see them again if they’re in driving distance! )

Inspirations/McKameys is always a great concert. They are some of the most down to earth people you will ever meet, and their ministry is always a blessing.
And Daniel, you are so right about Jack Laws. After talking to him for 5 minutes I felt as though I’d known him all my life.
The last time I saw the Inspirations, Jack sang “I Cannot Find the Way Alone” – they sing it a capella, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house when they finished.
The very first time I met Peg Bean, she hugged my neck like I was her own son.
They don’t make ‘em any more real than the Inspirations and the McKameys.

Inquirer, there’s nothing I can say besides that your point is well taken. I can’t believe I didn’t know about their rendition!

I like the format…I liked the other one as well.
This one is a little easier to see..
I have never seen the Inspi’s live…but I have seen
the McKameys. They are not my favorite “style” of SG,
but 2 things jumped at me in their presence:

#1. They really communicated their songs and reached the audience (not everyone was there for them)..it was a multi-talent event.
#2. They seemed very “real”…ie genuine, sincere, etc.

Those 2 things made their set very inspirational to me.
…and they were better musically than I expected (based on what I had heard from their recordings/radio)….and finally…I very much agree with Joshua’s comment on your statement about being “simple minded”…Amen!…that’s because you seem “real” as well!…keep up the good work!

Daniel…

For what it’s worth, I like the new format of the blog.

I’m not sure why you were “shocked” at the Inspirations doing “Glory To God In The Highest”…ithey were among the very first people to record the song(in 1992!), and their arrangement of it is as good a quartet arrangement of it as there has been. It’s been a staple of their repertiore for nearly 15 years now.

The Inspirations are not my favorite group, but whenever I have seen them, they always put on a great concert. Keep being ’simple-minded’, I believe Heaven will be filled with mainly that type of people.
