Truelove Quartet is a local group based out of Lebanon, Missouri. They love fellowship, so when they book a concert in their hometown they bring in another group to sing with. Towards the end of May, they sang in the Cowan Civic Center with Brian Free and Assurance and I was happy to be there…
There’s something about ice cream and Gospel Sings…they just go together, ya know. On Saturday afternoon I had those two exact things at my fingertips. A scoop of Vanilla ice cream in a Styrofoam bowl in my hand and a seat under a tent at the very place two quartets and a duo would perform…
“We make 1700 pies every year,” said the lady at the concession stand. For a moment I thought I missed what she said, surely she said 700 instead of 1700. Then she continued, “We begin making them in March; once a week twelve of us get together at the church and form an assembly line…
“Everybody ready?” asked the driver, “Here we go…” The golf cart holding myself, my sister, mom, grandma and another lady bumped down the hill to the big white tent. I was sitting on the back, facing the parking lot and had to turn my head to see where we were going. The tent was decorated…

The band played as I and a stream of other people walked from the exhibit hall to the main auditorium. Four thousand people would be in that room for Friday night’s concert at Singing in the Sun. Right then, the voices of those thousands were singing a medley of both old and new songs lead…
The sun was past its zenith, the tide was out and the waves reached out to touch our feet as they sank in the sand while we walked along the shore. To the pier and back; that’s as far as we would go. Stretched out on beach towels and chairs were people trying to soak…
The Meramec Music Theater in Steelville, Missouri has a concert series every year for Gospel Music. I was happy to be at the first concert this year in March with The Whisnants and also April’s concert with Brian Free and Assurance. What made BFA’s concert extra special, was that it happened to be on my…
Every seat in the Main Street Music Hall was sold on Saturday night…as it was last year. The Booth Brothers were the featured artist for the closing night of the Great Lake of the Ozarks Gospel Sing and 1000 fans were in their seats and ready to go when Todd Foreman walked on stage. After…
