Re: National Quartet Convention
Barb,
Quartet singing is one of those things that I enjoy and appreciate in person every great once in a while but I would never buy a CD or listen on a daily basis. I feel the same way about bluegrass music. I can appreciate the talent and enjoy a few songs if they are not too nasally but have never bought a bluegrass CD.

'Quartet music' is not what it once was...the stereotype Deac gave re this is ridiculous.

Me thinks you have not listened to southern gospel music lately? Sis Barb added a few nice selections.  but everybody has their preferences.
What is yours?
Myself, I enjoy many kinds.....from southern gospel, some contemporary,
bluegrass gospel, church choirs, and I love instrumentals!
It's good we have a selection huh? 
But.....one type of music I just can't take a liking too is anything
called rap, or Christian rock, or Christian metal?

Re: National Quartet Convention
When I think of Southern Gospel quartets I think of deep theological songs like this one.

We do have our preferences, and I guess the old gospel choir sound is mine.
However, the new changes in SG have brought me back to my roots. SG just isn't the 4-part harmony, swinging on a mic stand sound of the Blackwoods, Statesmen, or Cathedrals.
Even the family sound of the Speers and Goodmans has been replaced by the Collingsworth Family, the Crabb family, and the Wilbanks family. Trios like the Booth Brothers, Jim Brady Trio, Greater Vision...they have a great sound, YET they fall under the banner of southern gospel.

I know what you mean! Oh my word I loved the Happy Goodmans and the original Hinsons. My daddy watched the Gospel Singing Jubilee faithfully every Sunday morning when I was a child coming up. That's where I grew fond of that music, listening to those great old groups sing!

When we moved to Nashville we went to church with Vestal Goodman for a few years at Christ Church until her untimely death.
