If you do not like southern gospel...
 

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.

Great job! I love Southern Gospel. I am trying to get a quartet at my church. Btw, How goes it Brother Flemming?

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

It goes VERY well. How are u?

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

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

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

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

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

I can hear the bass vocal. Very nice.

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

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.

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

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

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

Let's see if I remember....


AND the LORD said...HUH
God loves you...HUH


so on and so forth


:D LOL

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

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

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

Well, you can breathe without singing, but....


:D LOL

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

:ursofunny

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

Some of us are having problems with just breathing. :)

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

Well, there is that, too. :D

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

Well I don't like it but I had to pop in this thread anyway...I heard the bass, good singing man!

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

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

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

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.

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

Everybody knows God Rocks! :D

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

A Gold City song.

I love Southern Gospel.

Those who don't are heathens!:D

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

I agree witya brudder, but around here, we iz outnumbered! :D

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

So, does this mean you have graduated to full hick status? :D

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

Upon this 'ROCK' I will build my church!

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

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

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

Amen and Amen on that!

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

And by "around here" do you mean planet earth? :evilglee

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

No sir! :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

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

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

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

I love southern gospel and all types of country sounds.

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

No worries....


as someone I used to post with says...












Money Cometh! :D

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

Ok. Buh-bye! :D:D:D

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

Just messin'. I actually respect musicianship wherever I find it.

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

The is no music but Southern Gospel. And anyone who doesn't like Southern Gospel is as lost as two boys singing Contemporary Gospel!:ursofunny

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

You naughty little Fred Sanford you! :D

Re: If you do not like southern gospel...
 

I felt you were messin'. :)

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!
