Aaron Swain of Swain’s Musings just posted an extensive interview with Michael English, lead singer of the Gaither Vocal Band. It is a fairly long interview (~26 minutes), so don’t start it thinking this will be a quick one-on-one. It was great to hear the interview, but I was most taken aback with the last few minutes where Michael was talking about things he read online that were said on blogs & forums that were very hurtful and discouraging.

If you don’t have much time for the interview in it’s entirety, listen closely to the last few minutes and consider your comments and opinions that you might have posted or vented about while online. Not just about Michael, but in general. There’s not one thing wrong with offering constructive criticism, but to just blurt out comments off the cuff without thinking of who you might be hurting is just plain wrong and sinful.
We will all certainly be held accountable for ALL actions in this life, and that includes everything we spout off about on the ‘net. Just because our comments don’t usually have a face to them to the general online public, you can be sure that there is a record of everything we put on the web, both positive and negative.
I can’t imagine being the one that posted something to discourage someone along the way and make them want to or actually give up and quit. Can you?
Fellow blogger, Brandon Coomer, has launched a brand-new tribute site to one of the greatest quartets in the history of SG.
He gives details of the launch here: http://coomercove.wordpress.com/2009/11/30/goldcitytribute-com-launches/.
It must have taken Brandon a lot of time and effort to get this online, as it is loaded with a ton of historical information on the group. Be sure to check it out!
Mickey Gamble, one of the owner/managers of Crossroads Records, has launched a new blog called ‘Gospeleer’. Be sure to stop in to read about the Southern Gospel industry from a label owners’ perspective.
Just heard that fellow blogger Aaron Swain (http://swainsmusings.blogspot.com/) is in the hospital with complications from a ruptured appendix. Please help me pray for this young friend of mine.
My friend and fellow blogger, David Bruce Murray (www.musicscribe.com) posted this video from Professor Dean Adkins here and it was too good not to share with you.
This is a clip of Lee Roy Abernathy and Shorty Bradford – The Happy Two. They advertised themselves as the world’s greatest two man quartet. I know several of you are into classic groups and this is simply amazing! Enjoy.
Daniel Mount breaks the news that Miley Cyrus’ “The Climb” will be released to Southern Gospel radio by promoter Rick Hendrix. Since Daniel had never really heard her sing before, I thought I’d include the video of her new single.
www.SouthernGospelForums.com has been launched today. Site owner Daniel Mount has announced the official launch here.
