This is an old clip, but no less powerful for its age:

Amy Rogers: I noticed the redesign the other day. It’s my resource on a lot of discography related stuff.
Brian: Looks great. Last time I visited I thought about how it could use a little modern sprucing. Thanks for the site…I’ve used it as a resource numerous times. That site has the...

Dawn Spencer: For sure GVB isn’t as good as it was with Guy. I would go see Guy in concert before GVB now. I think with Guy leaving it has or will hurt GVB ratings. Miss you Guy!!!

Meagan: This is a link to what I think you are looking for. If you go to Gaither.com, there is always a link to a promotional package recently seen on TV. Here is the direct link. Hope this helps!...
Gail: What was the promotional 800 number that Gaither advertised at the end of the program on Hallmark today 11/20/09. It was 1-800-771 ????? I didn’t get the rest of the number. Did anyone...
Bev: This is great especially since we don’t get any of the gospel stations on our cable.
Meagan: I think this is a great thing. Besides PBS stations and country music stations, I do not know of another secular channel that carries Gaither programs or other Gospel music programming....

DeAnn: Burman Porter is one of the best out there. As it comes to PSQ being in secular venues – they are backing up Wynonne during her Christmas tour and then doing some SGM while Wyonne...
Daniel J. Mount: I’ll say you can blame it on being 25 if you like.
Blame it on whatever you like! Fact is, my reason is simple enough: I have no interest in any secular music.
Amy Rogers: OK, well I tried! Usually people tell me I’m too young, so …
Meagan: I agree, Daniel. I do the same, nowadays, also I have a small bit of interest in secular music as well. I enjoyed the harmonies of Naomi and Wynonna Judds when they performed as The Judds....
Meagan: SG is my primary love, but I do occasionally enjoy listening to other genres.
Meagan: I can’t say that you can blame it on that as I am 25 also and I know of her. Good try though! Haha!
Daniel J. Mount: Oh. And Burman Porter was hardly shabby, either. And Wesley Smith (now of Dixie Echoes fame).
Amy Rogers: I clear forgot about Aaron McCune. I my dad might have some other PSQ music, historical relics by now.
Amy Rogers: I only have about 2,000, and a portion of that is Primitive Quartet.
(jealous pout)
Daniel J. Mount: My interest in PSQ comes from the fact that they had an absolutely incredible lineup when I first discovered Southern Gospel in 2004—John Rulapaugh, Kerry Beatty, Tony Peace, Aaron...

Good question!
Perhaps it isn’t protocol to give standing ovations at the White House (based on the classical concert tradition).

They did stand at the end of the concert, but were pretty much prompted by the host to do it then.

When was this? That was an awesome perfomance of an awesome song. Couple with an incredible location, I might add!

It’s so funny that you posted this! I just watched this on YouTube at random the other day. It’s such a stirring performance. I love it!

Protocol is to only stand when the President stands.
If he would have stood, they all would have.

I remember watching this on TV live when I was like 8 or 9. GVB has always been my dad’s favorite group, and their definitely on my top 5 list. I haven’t seen this clip in ages, but every time David Phelps does his thing, I always get chillbumps!!! He’s got to be the best tenor in the world, at least in my book. Wes Hampton is good, but nobody can replace Phelps entirely.
