I have a busy weekend coming up, with doing a seminar on the Faith of America’s Presidents and catching the final stop in Signature Sound’s summer tour just for starters. Since, like Adam Edwards, I too have quite a few things to catch up on before heading off to NQC Thursday morning, I will take a few days hiatus from the blog, at least unless some news story jumps out and demands to be told.

It’s been announced that next Thursday, the various Southern Gospel bloggers will be meeting for a conference at NQC. We’ll be discussing the role blogs should play in Southern Gospel music. Of course, we’ll be looking at it from our perspective as blog owners. But what do you, the readers, think?

Should a blog be consistently upbeat, and ignore personal scandals?

Should a blogger look for little errors, personal and professional, in the Southern Gospel world, and focus on them?

Or should a blog strike some sort of middle ground?

Ed Hill’s Prophets Quartet (Bill Baize, Paul Jackson, Ed Hill, and Mike Allen) announced a meet and greet appearance on Friday night at NQC:

Fans, artists, and industry professionals alike will get a chance to spend time with all four members of the Prophets Quartet on Friday, September 14, 2007.  Group members Ed Hill, Bill Baize, Mike Allen, and Paul Jackson will be available in the SGMRadio.com Booth (booth numbers 1033, 1035, 1132, and 1134) from 4:30-5:45 p.m. and again from 9:00-10:30 p.m. that evening.

“Since we weren’t going to be available throughout the entire week to perform any, we thought this would be a great chance for us to reconnect with some old friends as well as get to know some new fans,” mentioned Ed Hill of The Prophets Quartet.  “We are really looking forward to the evening.”
