Southern Gospel news roundup There has been enough in the way of news over the past day or two that I decided to put it all in one post. There’s an increasing amount of NQC-album buzz. From monitoring various forums, it looks like the most-anticipated albums are Legacy Five’s Know So Salvation, the Perrys’ Look No...

Interesting Photos: Olivia Collingsworth as Anne of Green Gables The Collingsworth family recently visited and posted some pictures from a family trip to Prince Edward Island. One particularly caught my attention–this one of Olivia as Anne of Green Gables. Her hair is naturally red, and she’s about the right age, too. If I recall correctly from literature...

Am I Predictable? Am I predictable? I like being predictable…usually. You can usually accurately guess the kind of post I will make. But tomorrow I will make a post that is rather out of the norm for me, just for fun. And I thought I’d explain in advance, to save the trouble...

Shiloh signs with Crossroads Crossroads announced yesterday that they’d signed Shiloh, a moderately progressive Southern Quartet (both in appearance and sound). It’s the first time in a little while that a group on one of the indie labels has moved up to one of the major Southern Gospel labels (Crossroads / Daywind /...

Concert Review: Mercy’s Mark 2.0 Last Saturday, I drove down to Columbus, Ohio to see Mercy’s Mark at Garry Jones’ home church, Potter’s House Church of God. About 300 people attended, with approximately 31 of them being 25 and under. The Pfeifers opened the concert with a seven-song set. After the Pfeifers were...

Their last website had a ’90s look, and I’m thrilled to see them move into the 21st century. The strongest point of the new design is that it has sound clips from last year’s hymns project; the weakest point is...

After I tried everything I could think of, I emailed Adam Edwards (Southern Gospel Critique). We determined that it was a flaw in the theme itself, and he tracked it down and fixed it within a few minutes. This is as good...

More Themes I ran out of ideas on themes to post, so I’ll just have this one up for now since it’s the only one I customized and I don’t have time to customize #1 or #3 today. It’s no accident that I put my picture up here. Though it’s mostly a stretch, there is a little bit of truth to the...

The Collingsworth Family joins the Homecoming Tour Maybe this was announced previously and I missed it, but my most recent Homecoming catalog came in today, and one paragraph in an ad caught my attention in a big way: Fall Festival Celebration Weekend, October 5-6, 2007 Friday, Oct. 5: Concert – 7:00 P.M. An Alexandria Harvest tradition…gather...

My third favorite Cathedrals lineup All right, I’ll bite. Doug Harrison has a post on the bloggers roundtable with a hilarious punch line: However, I can neither confirm nor deny that I will be wearing a paper sack. Nor can I comment on reports that we will be meeting in a top-secret super-secure underground bunker beneath Freedom Hall...
