The last day of the cruise was a full day at sea. We were on our way home. This was sad for me because I so wanted to spend more time exploring the Bahamas! But even the best vacation must come to an end. On a brighter note, I was determined to enjoy every minute…
Home of Blackbeard
The Golden Age of piracy lasted for thirty years…from 1690-1720. It was said that when a pirate slept he didn’t dream of going to heaven but to his favorite port of Nassau on New Providence Island. Why? Nassau was well suited to be a pirate base of operations because its waters were too shallow…
The Shallow Sea
Half Moon Cay, or, San Salvador, was the second destination on our tour of the Bahamas. At 9:00 AM, the announcement was made that you could begin disembarking for the island. At nine o’clock, I was in the Coconut Lounge eating breakfast and looking out on the turquoise waters. We agreed the day before…
CD Review: Hymns and Harmony – The Whisnants
To one generation, hymns relive memories of the past. To another, they are a new sound just discovered. On the Whisnant’s Hymns and Harmony CD, they are both. In 2012 the Whisnants released a project titled “Hymns and Harmony.” The idea for this recording originated in a conversation between the Whisnants and Greater Vision –…
GIVE-A-WAY: Book and CD!
June is here and with it comes a brand new give-a-way! This month we are giving away two prizes – a book and a CD. The music selection comes from the Whisnants; a family group based out of North Carolina. Their 2012 release, “Hymns and Harmony,” contain a number of hymns such as He Keeps…
The Black Snake and the Gospel Sing
The doors of Old Bethel Baptist Church stood open (as you will soon find out, in regards to the title of this review, that’s NOT a good thing!) Anyway, the church sign stood tall reading, “The Whisnants in concert – 7 PM.” I parked my vehicle and joined the others in our march towards the…
Singing in the Sun!
I think it’s pretty safe to say that not every Gospel Sing you attend has a whale painted on the side of the building…but the Myrtle Beach Convention Center does! If you’re in Myrtle Beach, SC in mid-April, you can walk right in that convention center and enjoy Singing in the Sun. This five day…
New Photos!
Hey everyone! I just wanted to alert ya’ll to a new photo album on the Photo page. The pictures are from “NQC 2012” and highlight moments from main stage, the exhibit hall and a few afternoon showcases. You can visit the gallery HERE – enjoy!
NQC 2012 – Monday Night On Main Stage
“The Exhibit Hall opens at four o’clock,” the announcer said over the intercom, “if you are in the exhibit hall, and you are not an exhibitor, please exit immediately. Thank you.” I smiled to myself while vacuuming the carpet in my sister’s booth. Every year the same thing would be announced. Fans were simply too…
Cd Review: More Than Enough – The Whisnants
The Whisnants have released a new project this summer (2011) entitled, More Than Enough. On this recording you will continue to hear the sound that the Whisnants have established themselves in. All the songs fit their style musically and vocally – you won’t find anything out of the ordinary on this Cd. One thing I…
