I should really be packing for NQC instead of writing, but I didn’t want to leave without posting an update. After all, it’s been a little while since the last post! So “what’s up?” The first thing I would like to let y’all know is the September issue of SGN Scoops is out. My column,…
Tuesday morning dawned in Louisville and as the sun rose, so did I, ready to meet the day. Paging through the program book to the schedule page, I checked the time again on the showcase. 10:30-11:30 AM. Chapel – Mark Trammell Qt. East Hall A-B. It was going to be a good morning… With a…
The click of my high heels echoed in the hall quickly becoming lost in the countless sounds of other footsteps, voices and the occasional cell phone ring. I had just come from the Exhibit Hall and was anxious to weave through the crowd and find a seat in the arena. The buzz urged me to…
Hello everyone! I just returned home from a GREAT week in Louisville, Kentucky at the National Quartet Convention, and now I’m “stocked up” and ready for the September give-a-way!

The Life And Times Of A Gospel Songwriter by Dianne Wilkinson and Daniel Mount is an autobiographical work of one of Southern Gospel’s greatest writers – Dianne Wilkinson. Dianne has always been my favorite songwriter, so maybe I’m a little biased, but I think all would agree that without her pen, this music we so…
Another year of the National Quartet Convention came to a close on September 15th, 2012. It was a wonderful week, and even though a good night’s rest was sorely lacking, I was sad that the event had to come to an end. On the positive side, one of the best line-ups of the week was…
Ever since NQC announced on Twitter that they were bringing the Parade Of Pianos showcase back to Convention, I’ve been looking forward to seeing my hero’s grace the stage and watch them blend beautiful melodies on the ivory keys.
