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…
The exhibit hall buzzed with fans when the doors opened on Wednesday of the National Quartet Convention. Everyone I spoke with agreed that, compared to the day before, there were many more fans in the building! Even as I sat writing this at ten minutes to seven, there were still a considerable amount of people…
September 11th has always been connected to the NQC in a special way. Probably because, if you’ve ever heard Gerald reminisce about it, the National Quartet Convention was going on the Tuesday morning the towers fell. It was quite different to look down at my program booklet and see 9/11 faded on the background where…
The 44th Annual Brumely Gospel Sing was once again held at the Cowan Civic Center in Lebanon, Missouri. The Sing began on Wednesday and went through Saturday.

Brian Free and Assurance singing their new single “I Want To Be That Man” from their brand new project Nothing But Love. Brian said that they just received their tracks a few days before they went out that weekend, so this was BFA’s very FIRST time singing it! Can’t tell, can ya’? They look like…
Lyrics with value. Though every artist will tell you that they are hard to find, Brian Free and Assurance have sifted through sand and soil coming out with a sack full of gold…or, a jewel case full of heavenly treasure. Brian Free says he searched through 1047 songs to find the ten for their new…
The fourth and final concert that we attended while on vacation is one that I look forward to every year – the Superman Festival. For four days the city of Metropolis, Illinois is the hub of festivities. Booths line each side of the street displaying all kind of goodies (including peanut butter funnel cakes!…very…
“Lord, won’t You do a new thing Use me like You never had before I’ve seen the tried and true thing It made me want to serve You even more I want to let my light shine, so everyone can see And be the kind of witness, that You would have me be Just like…
