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
