In the course of this busy week, a few stories didn’t quite merit their own post, mainly due to another post taking precedence that day. Let’s wrap up the week by catching up on a few news items:

• Baptist Press featured an in-depth and fascinating interview with Isaacs matriarch Lily Isaacs (hat tip, JS).
• Here’s an interesting article on Cleavant Derricks (hat tip, QN).
• Harold McVey, who sang with Common Grace Quartet and (briefly) with Gold City, passed away earlier this week.
• The Dove Brothers posted downloadable soundtracks from their upcoming CD, Life, before the project itself was available–then pulled them.

One more thing. Be watching for a post tomorrow that will call for some serious thinking–and guessing.

Ernie Haase announced* on the Signature Sound message board that the group’s next DVD will be taped at the Navy Pier Grand Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois on April 30. The project is tentatively entitled Dream On, and the CD and DVD are set to be released this fall. [*Link only works for message board members.]

Based on the stats and and photos posted here, it looks like it’s a pretty impressive venue; it seats 2,000, has an impressively high ceiling, and appears to be set on the lakefront of Lake Michigan. This should provide for some interesting video footage.
