But as the video starts, the four singers on stage are Greg...

Do playlists slow down iTunes? I apologize for two question posts in a row, but it’s a slow news week in Southern Gospel so far. (But I can’t say that without anticipating it somehow becoming a self-defeating prophecy.) Jeff Foster does have a good post up on NQC Conduct, but there’s little to discuss in the way of news...

Are the feature interviews too long? Are the feature interviews I do for this site too long? I realize that what comes out to eight or nine pages when formatted may be more than most people want to read on a regular basis.

NQC Thoughts: Booths being torn down early Danny Jones has a thought-provoking post about how most NQC booths are torn down early on Saturday (or, in 5%-10% of cases, Friday). Though this might matter less to people there all week, like me, or people who are there Thursday-Saturday, he pointed out that this keeps the Saturday night attendees (well...
