Saturday News Roundup

Posted in: News Roundup — Daniel J. Mount @ 7:00 am

A couple of stories that didn’t get mentioned earlier this week:

• Gaither.com staffer Emily Sutherland recaps the Gaither Vocal Band Reunion taping here.
• Wes Hampton shares his take (and a couple of photos) on his blog.
• David Bruce Murray posts that a Bluegrass song will be the next #1 on the Singing News chart. The most likely song to move into that spot is Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver’s current top 5 single “Help is On the Way.”
• The Dan Keeton Quartet has had its first lineup change; tenor/manager Dan Keeton announced that Chris Little (baritone) has left the group. Dan is taking auditions, and encourages baritones to send demos to dan@dankeeton.com or 1552 S St Hwy 207, Rush, KY 41168.

One more thing. This is the first time I’ve done this, but here is a preview of the next few weeks on our weekly Friday CD reviews feature:

• 8/1/08: Charlotte Ritchie, Bridges Over Blue
• 8/8/08: Keith Plott, There is One
• 8/15/08: Gordon Mote, Don’t Let Me Miss the Glory

    David Bruce Murray: …not gonna happen.
    Daniel J. Mount: I wish I had more recordings of Denver. I only have one or two on compilations, nowhere near enough for me to really know the level of talent he was—though, I must say, YouTube and...
    Neil Enloe: Speaking of vibratos, don’t forget Denver Crumpler. About the time we think that we don’t like something in particular, someone comes along and makes it work.
    Elisabeth: i LOVE her voice. i don’t see her as so-go material at all, but that doesn’t stop me from listening. thanks for the link to her song list…i’ve been listening to...
    Sandy: I feel that Susan has a beautiful voice, and I am pleased to see that she has chosen, or her producer has chosen to include some hymns on her album. Although, if you notice the hymns chosen...
    martha: Welll…she’s very talented!! Happy to here there’s going to be hymns on her new album…because a whole lot of people will buy it. Don’t know if I can see her...
    
  
  
  • NQC to move to Indianapolis? (65)
    FJW: If for some reason my tour group doesn’t or can’t renew its package again next year, I will not be coming any more to Louisville just due to the uncomfortable seats that are...
    Ron Hostetler: Indy is a great convention city. Lots of hotels and restaurants within walking distance from the convention center. And it’s only 2 hours (or less) from Freedom Hall, so...
    KC: People will always resist change at first. But, Indy is cool with me. I’ll be there.

    Meagan: You’re right! I absolutely love it!
    Daniel J. Mount: You’re welcome! The all-live version of “Treasures Unseen” is incredible.

  • Site Updates (11)
    Daniel J. Mount: Thanks, DBM! I’m putting that to good use now.
    Daniel J. Mount: No problem! The plugin seems to be written by default to have it that tiny. Fortunately, I know enough CSS and PHP to re-write the underlying code.
    bwarner: Unintended consequences. Thanks for fixing it.
