Gerald’s Favorite “Driving Group”

  Wednesday morning was bitter cold – just one step outside my hotel room proved that!  Then again, when my gaze fell upon the mountains and I saw nothing but white peeks, the temperature no longer mattered – it had snowed in the mountains!  Now if seeing that didn’t cheer you up, nothing would!  It…

Laughter, Singing and Surprises

Crisp, cold air blew in my face as I emerged from the elevator into the cool morning breeze.  It was Tuesday morning, and we were up early and ready for the second session of the Great Smokies Praisefest!  While driving down the street toward New Hope, I couldn’t help but notice the majestic Smoky Mountains…

The 22nd Annual Great Smokies Praisefest…

Navigating up the steep drive with our SUV, my thoughts were drawn back to spring when we motivated up a similar incline to the Mansion Theater…and the very first “Praisefest Branson.”  Only this time, instead of Branson, Missouri – we were in Sevierville, Tennessee.  Men in bright orange vests waved flashing red sticks, directing us…

Finding Jesse James in a Gospel Singing…

The realization hit me once again – I was sitting in the middle of a cave!  Our seats for Thursday night at the Lester’s Homecoming were in the middle of the ballroom, I’ll tell you what, no matter where you sit in the cave, the experience is unforgettable!  Our emcee, Mr. Duane Garren, began the…

A Cave, A Bat, And A Gospel Sing

The legends and heroes of Southern Gospel Music have lived their lives on the highways – offering fans a variety of venues in which to see them perform.  From the beach to the mountains, haunted hotels and famous concert halls in NYC, small country churches to stadiums, fabulous cruises and the cherished all night sings…

Three Theaters, Two Quartets and a Trio

Eleven Days of Southern Gospel Music.  Sounds like heaven, eh?  For me, the last day of this great event at Silver Dollar City was on the first Saturday in September.  Even though the Southern Gospel Picnic had two more days to go, this one was the last day that I would attended.  So, who occupied…

The Echo of a New Bass Singer

During the Southern Gospel Picnic at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri, fans had the delightful opportunity to see Legacy Five sing with their new bass singer, Matt Fouch, in Echo Hollow.  Among the thousands of people who were swarming the amphitheater, this lone blogger found herself a front row seat on the right side…

Rain, Poncho’s, Umbrellas and SGM

Umbrellas lined the walkway to the Opera House at Silver Dollar City on the third day of the Southern Gospel Picnic.  Another gloomy day at the park!  I, along with a long line of fans, waited for the 2:45 show with Ivan Parker, and unfortunately, standing in the rain for thirty minutes was a part…

Gloomy On The Outside – Ready For Gospel Music On The Inside!

The second day of the Southern Gospel Picnic at Silver Dollar City began with thick, grey, thunderclouds and a heavy downpour of rain.  Much to our dismay, the only form of transportation from our car to the park’s entrance was an OPEN TRAM (shuttle)…well, we could have always walked.  LOL  (I think not!)  So, we…

The Most Attended Festival – Southern Gospel Music

A cool breeze caressed my face as the tram shot forward and whirled around the curvy road to the “City” entrance. Squeaky brakes brought our ride to a stop and then we hopped off and walked through the gates. A smiling worker dressed in a long cotton dress and a bonnet scanned my season pass…
