Right now, the NQC Silly Season for group turnover seems to...

Something odd on the Singing News website
Yesterday, I posted a link to a Monument Quartet press release posted on the Singing News SG Wire. Today, this press release is no longer visible on the SG Wire page and does not come up when their news stories are searched, suggesting that the story has been pulled.
But here’s the strange part: If you...

For about a month after the Quartet Convention ended, there were no lineup changes. Now it seems like they are happening all at once.
Almost precisely a month ago, Monument Quartet split into two groups, the Monument Quartet and the Tribute Quartet. Monument’s Marshall Pugh kept the bus, the tour...

I started a thread on the Singing News forums asking this question. It will be interesting to watch the responses.

A faithful reader of this blog emailed me to ask if I could add a button for clicking to return to the home page. Since she hadn’t realized this yet, and I decided it was not immediately apparent, the title of the blog serves this purpose. Clicking “www.southerngospelblog.com” at the top of...

If you will look at the second box in the sidebar, you will notice a new feature. I plan to highlight a featured article every month by posting a link to the post and to an Adobe PDF version of the article in the box.
I’m doing this because I can put quite a bit of time into these articles, and...
