Daniel,

Ever thought of finding out whether Stewart would even be INTERESTED in moving on to L5?

I think it’s cute for all of us to do this speculation, but these are people with lives and families…not playing cards or chess pieces we can simply move around at a whim.

Stuart would be an excellent pianist for L5. Of course, no one will ever replace Roger.
I would love to see the group go to all live music and skip the tracks. They could excell at that.
But, the Dixie Echoes would be in a pinch for a while.

I would love to see the Dixie Echoes stay together, don’t mistake me at all. My comments were much more in the line of speculation of how L5 would change with such a move than out of hopes that someone would notice it and give Stewart a call.

Thanks, anthonydrummer, for the chuckle I got when I read your suggestion of Nic Succi being the pianist for Legacy Five!!!!! Not that he’s not a very gifted pianist, but somehow I just can’t see him fitting in with this particular group!!

I think Stewart would go well with L5, BUT, would that really be a good move for Stewart? The DEs are not that far from home and family(Franklinton LA), he owns a house in FL, with the DEs he has 3 other guys in the group his age that I think he gets along with well(in L5 they are all older guys with families)…Randy treats him well allowing him all the space he needs to sell his solo CDs….well, just personally I would much rather that the DE stay the way they are for the next 10 years or so….to me they have the best sound and personel they have had for many years and I would like to see them keep it all together!!

anthonydrummer,

Group changes are a simple fact of life in Southern Gospel. Accepting it as a fact of life, the speculation is just regarding who it will be, not whether it will happen.

My Lord son, you want as much or more shakeups in personnel than anybody I’ve ever seen. Southern gospel fans are the world’s worst to want a musician will go from group A to group B, and then complain about too many personnel changes 15 minutes later. Here’s an idea…maybe they should hire Jeff Stice, or Matthew Holt, or Nic Succi, or Jerry Kelso.

That did not escape my attention, either, and I guess it’s been in the back of my mind ever since.

Jon, you bought up a good point. Roger did seem to be ‘grooming’ Stewart for something for a while. I remember him bringing Stewart on stage to play for L5 on stage at NQC a couple of years ago. Coincidence?
