I hadn’t even considered that Gloria had replaced Bill with the Vocal Band! I’m still laughing over that one!! But I was at the Friday concert and I was so glad to see Gloria and to hear and see her on her recitations before Then Came the Morning and There’s Just Something About that Name. Bill seemed a little tired but otherwise normal.

I was not in Memphis to witness, but I didn’t mean to imply Gloria filled in for Bill in the Vocal Band; I meant that she filled in for him as emcee of the Homecoming Concert.

Funny, though. And the comments may be right … Gloria singing Bill’s part might have been fun!

Please tell me this post was tongue in cheek and you don’t actually believe she sang his part.

I dunno…some of the GVB arrangements et al have a really convoluted (read: difficultly pleasant and musically interesting) bass part, which I enjoy much. Indeed, I think Gloria could master Bill’s notes, too…especially with the right condenser microphone and mixer settings.

I love to hear Gloria sing. She has a warmth reminiscent of a quality baritone in her own alto range. Hymn Classics by the BGT remains my favorite Christian recording. Part of its charm for me is hearing Mike singing the stacks on all three parts.
