One by one, the folks in the lobby made their way into the auditorium for the last night of the Truthseekers’ Homecoming. I felt like I was the last person to my seat! As I slipped through the door on the right side of the theater the Truthseekers were already on stage singing Who Am…
Crowd Control
The harsh weather of Thursday night was behind us. Though cloudy and chilly, no tornados loomed on the horizon! Yes, that’s right – I just said tornado. Mother Nature has a way of showering her presence upon us and we experienced that first-hand the night before when the electric went out! It just so happened,…
Bus Power
Dark foreboding clouds hung in the sky and unleashed a downpour that kept me from driving the speed limit. The windshield wipers were on high and everyone (well, the sensible ones!) was driving slow. We had just crossed over the Illinois border and drove right into the storm. I glanced at the clock on the…
February “Firsts”
There is a distinct feeling you get when you do something for the first time. Maybe your heart thumps a little quicker or your hands sweat. It’s not that the thing is scary, it could actually be very exciting, but knowing that the task is at hand can be both exhilarating and something that…
Photo Album: Truthseekers Homecoming 2013!
We spent a delightful two days in Marion, IL at the Truthseekers Homecoming in February! The Marion Civic Center is one of my favorite auditoriums to see SGM performed in. The theater is beautiful, the people are wonderful, the atmosphere there is rare at Gospel Sings and when you put all of those things together…you…
“If It Takes a Cow Bell” – Ivan Parker
Quickly, I slammed the car door shut and darted to the sidewalk. It was a cold February evening for a jaunt amidst the town square in Marion, Illinois…but for a Gospel Sing, well, it was worth it. The Civic Center sits on the corner of South Market Street. I rushed along the walkway, crossing…
March Memories – Make Some More!
Happy March everyone! I’m hoping that this month will be one that makes memories for us all! With my travel schedule picking up in March, I’m hoping this month will be the beginning of many good times to come. (Not to mention St. Paddy’s Day and Easter is right around the corner!) The first…
Make Some Racket!
Many phrases would have been appropriate to title this concert review…how sad it is there can only be one! Though, snatch phrases from the evening like, “Excuse me ladies, if I spit on you,” “George’s Birthday,” or “who did he think I was?” would be perfect, don’t you think? But I digress… The Truthseekers…
Featured and Favorite Highlights of 2012
It was Saturday, the 22nd of December 2012 when I checked my mail box and pulled out the January 2013 issue of the Singing News Magazine. Wow…another year really has come to an end, hasn’t it? Well, it has! So, as we launch into another year, I want to pause for a moment and review…
Video – Ivan, would you like some help?
I love blogging…but sometimes writing about something just isn’t the same as seeing it. This video is one of those moments! – and by far, one of my favorite highlights from the Truthseekers Homecoming I attended two weeks ago. Brian Free and Ivan Parker…they give each other some good humored grief sometimes! I guarantee this…
