While reading the comments about the constantly changing faces in groups, I started wondering how these guys can make it financially when they bounce from group to group. I think that Pilgrim moved his family to Lynchburg, then the OTGH disbanded, etc. Now he is with another group. This has to be hard on families and finances, and I guess,, only shows how much some folks sacrifice to continue singing their favorite music. I don’t think guys in groups of this level make that much money, but maybe they are backed by “rich uncles” or spouses who have good jobs.

Williams was quoted on another site saying that he was in for the rest of the year.

I have a friend who knows them and said that Daryl Williams has taken the job full-time. He was filling in on piano but when the lead came open, he took the job permantly. Yeah that is Jerry Pilgrim hiding behind that beard. They have had some changes but no more than most groups. I hope this lineup stays because this is an all-star lineup. Williams is a great singer. Pilgrim is an awesome bass singer (my top three favorite) and Felts is unbelievable (top 5). Pugh is a really good baritone as well. They still have the full band right?

Good call on Jerry Pilgrim. The neard and lack of gray hair threw me off.

I believe I read somewhere that Monument Quartet’s new bass is Old Time Gospel Hour Quartet’s former bass, Jerry Pilgrim.
