I have said both to his face and to anyone i talked to, Dan Keeton is the best tenor in southern gospel music. He and I sung together in the beginning of the mysterymen and he may be the best i have ever heard, including david phelps. I wish the very best for the new group. They also hired the long term bass singer from the mystery men Chip Cooper. He has without a doubt, one of the smoothest bass voices in the business and will be a trmendous asset to the new group. We hated to see him go but we wish him the very best. Good luck guys!

Dan’s the best tenor on the road today. Certainly this is a great asset to the new Flordia Boys.
As said elsewhere, Waller is probably the most dedicated person in SG when it comes to perserving the traditions and heritage of our music: one can easily see that with his production of the GOGR and the SGMA Hall of Fame. Although I don’t agree with the concept or the timing, if anyone can make this a sucess, I feel that it’s Waller. Let’s pray for him and the group.

I too am disturbed at the timing of the announcement of this “new” Florida Boys Quartet, but as I said in my own blog, until I hear and learn more about this group, my judgment on them and their formation will be suspended.

Except for the fact that I feel that hiring Dan Keeton to sing tenor is a good move.

I agree, the timing took away from the special moment for the 3 guys but it benefited Waller and the new group. The whole thing is tacky IMO.

I certainly hope that it does allow him that time, and in fact the fact that he is going to be with them will be one of the biggest reasons why I’ll give the new group a chance to win me over.

My comment was solely in relation to the timing of the announcement.
