Legacy Five launches blog

Posted in: Other SG Bloggers — Daniel J. Mount @ 6:00 am

As several other bloggers noted yesterday, Legacy Five just launched a new blog, at http://legacyfive.wordpress.com/.

So what makes this any different from a newsletter?

It’s easier for the fans to interact with the group and each other.

This “community site” concept is one that Crossroads has been helping several of its artists launch. Legacy Five’s has the potential to become as strong and active a community as the Talley Trio’s site (http://talleytree-o.com/) if they can remain consistent with updates.

Gaither Vocal Band tenor Wes Hampton has a fascinating post up (with pictures) from Athens, Greece … where the Gaither Vocal Band was set to do a concert that night. It’s an interesting read; check it out.

Welcome Jeff Foster to the Southern Gospel blogosphere! He has launched a blog at southerngospelperspectives.blogspot.com.

Jeff, you’re off to a great start. Keep up that pace and stay positive, and I’m sure this won’t be the last time I’ll be mentioning you here.

Oh, and the Monday after NQC is a great time to start a blog. I should know. :)

Guest Posting during NQC

Posted in: Other SG Bloggers — Daniel J. Mount @ 5:08 am

Last year, in addition to the National Quartet Convention-related posts I made here, I made guest posts to the Talley Trio’s community website, www.talleytree-o.com. I will be reprising that role this year, and, in addition, adding four other sites. (Yes, I will be one busy writer!)

So, in addition to the posts here, you can keep up with my NQC-related posts at:

Post of the Day: Gold City trio concert review

Posted in: Other SG Bloggers — Daniel J. Mount @ 5:49 am

Billboy, a regular contributor to the SouthernGospelForums.com website, posted a review of a Gold City concert he saw last night. Apparently, they’re singing as a trio right now, skipping the bass solo lines where necessary. His thoughts are an interesting snapshot of a group in the interim between changes.

Post of the Day: Inspirations Concert Review

Posted in: Other SG Bloggers — Daniel J. Mount @ 8:05 pm

RogerBennett_Fan, a poster at www.SouthernGospelForums.com, posted a detailed review of a concert by the new Inspirations lineup here.

It’s a better review than some of the ones I write, so adding that to the level of curiosity about the new lineup, I thought it was worth passing along.

Mickey Gamble launches blog

Posted in: Other SG Bloggers — Daniel J. Mount @ 7:46 am

Crossroads exec Mickey Gamble has launched a personal (i.e., non-company) Southern Gospel blog, Gospeleer. His first post, on iceboxes and iPods, is a must read.

I speak to this firsthand when I say that sustaining posts of that length and level of complexity on a multi-weekly basis is well-nigh impossible. But if he can mix in-depth commentary like that post with shorter posts on current events, he definitely has what it takes to build his site into one of the best Southern Gospel commentary sites out there.

Diana Brantley launches new SGConcerts.com

Posted in: Other SG Bloggers — Daniel J. Mount @ 7:37 am

Some time back, I purchased the domain www.sgconcerts.com, thinking it would be interesting to set up a site where contributors from across the country could submit concert reviews. I still think it was a great idea, but it was before its time, and the various contributors couldn’t find the time to write entries.

The site had gone for months without an entry when I decided to hand the domain over to its most frequent contributor, Georgia’s Diana Brantley. She’s picked up the ball and run with it. She attends Southern Gospel concerts practically every weekend, and she’s been consistently getting posts up with song lists, commentary, and (what makes her posts fairly unique!) YouTube clips.

Welcome Diana Brantley to the blogosphere!
