Then do not read this thread! :D You have made yourselves clear. The majority here do not like SG, but there are a few that do.

For the last year and a half, I have had the honor of serving as assistant pastor to Bro. Wendell Jellison here in Tennessee. Once in a great while when his daughter Lana and son in law Tim are in service with us, I get the honor of singing bass with them. The following clip is from last Wednesday evening's service. It was taken from a digital camera, so the quality is not what I would like for it to be. You will hear harmony, but my bass is a little hard to pick out.

I am not particularly a SG man, but I do love music so I checked it out anyway. You all sound good and I good hear the bass.

God Bless

Thank you, tstew.

My range is still there, but my vocal quality is not what it once was. My voice is not nearly as smooth. Preaching has taken it's toll on the ol' vocal chords. I use the same techniques preaching as I do singing. I know to sing from the diaphragm, but sometimes when preaching, the exuberance of the moment over-rides the brain! :D

I like Sherri Easter, The Crabb Family, The Hoppers and others. But I don't particuraly care for quartets. But I do like to hear harmony.

You just have to remember to breath like a dog pants and you'll be fine. :)

I remember the first time a teacher instructed me on breathing from the diaphraghm. I asked you mean I sing and breathe at the same time? :crazy

Thanks, MM. I come out of retirement when I get the opportunity. One of these days I will go too long between gigs, and will be a baritone. :D

For me I like a lot of different types of music. I listen to alternative Christian like Stellar Kart. I listen to the Crabb Family. I listen to Byron Cage. I guess you could say I listen to everything from the twangiest to the bangiest.

No, no. Nothing so drastic. Now, should I ever arrive in front of your house with a pick-up load of junk asking for directions to the salvage yard, then you will know I have been converted! :D

According to my monthly Singing News right here on my desk, once again SG numbers are going through the roof! We are NOT outnumbered. We are just victims of the Vocal Minority! :D

You SO bad! :D

There's a good one in Owensboro I recently found out about. I happen to know where there's just enough junk to make a good first load for me and Reuben. Problem is we ain't got no truck. lol! I told him we need to start looking for someone with an old 3/4 ton Ford that would like to trade for a good running Chevy Celebrity. Car bodies are up to $180 a ton right now. Tin is up to $120. Back when I was junkin, I got $35 a ton for tin and make good money at it. We could make a killin right now. Time to pray me down a good old junkin truck! :D

I do not like some music, but when it is played well, I give honor to those that have worked skillfully towards perfection. (Translation:they are better at what they do, than I am at what I do! :D)

Remember, good is the enemy of great!
