A highlight:
Q. You had your first concert a few weeks ago. How did that go? How busy has your schedule since been?
A. My first concert went really, really well! It was just a good feeling to get out there and see the fans again, playing the piano for people is what I do, so, it felt great to share what I do with all of the people who were there that night.
Since then, my schedule has been hectic-in a different way! I knew this solo thing was going to be ALOT of work-and believe me it is-but, now I am responsible for EVERYTHING! So, I am busy with everything from ordering product, to maintaining my website, handling dates, mailing out website orders, coming up with new musical ideas, practicing, writing new jokes and comedy material, the list goes on….AND on top of that-just trying to be a good Dad and Husband. Wow….no wonder I’m tired everyday!

I recently had the opportunity to interview Stewart Varnado. He has been the pianist for the Dixie Echoes since 1998. He also helps promote several concerts each year, most notably the J.G. Whitfield Memorial Sing every June and the Suwannee River Jubilee, one of the largest outdoor music festivals in Southern Gospel.
Among other things, we discussed his new role as a shareholder in the National Quartet Convention, his tribute to Roger Bennett at the 2007 Parade of Pianos, and the release of his newest project, A Southern Gospel Decade.
