Re: National Quartet Convention
Ugh. Southern Gospel Quartet music. Same song sung with different lyrics. I can't imagine an entire convention of it. Predictable lyrics and predictable music structure.
Prediction: every song will end with the tenor hitting a high note and the bass dropping as low as he can go.

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?

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Even the family sound of the Speers and Goodmans has been replaced by the Collingsworth Family, the Crabb family, and the Wilbanks family.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.

I did not get to go to her funeral at the church because of work but years later did attend Dottie Rambo's funeral at Christ Church and it was pretty amazing. Some of the best music at a home going service I have ever heard. There is a DVD of most of the service that is good but doesn't do it justice.
