    I was wondering why Southern Gospel Picnic at Silver Dollar City was not on the list of major gospel events. It is bigger than several events on your list.

      William,
      I’m wondering why you would feel the need to question what I choose to provide for free as a benefit to the fans of gospel music.

      To be clear, though, if any major gospel event would like to guarantee they are mentioned in my weekly News Nuggets article, I am always ready and willing to sell them a spot to advertise.

    Unrelated to your post here. But I would love to see Stow Town release more Cathedrals table top projects as they did recently with Smooth As Silk. I would love to see Keep On Singin’, both versions, released on one CD.

      Both versions of Keep On Singin’ would be cool to have on the same CD for sure. Check out this comparison I put together of the choruses on “I’ve Never Been This Homesick Before” a few years ago. You’ll want to listen to it in stereo. There are three passes through the same section of the song…version A, version B, and then the third pass has version A panned hard left and version B panned hard right.

        I remember that David as you pointed out that Glen had redone some of his vocals on that project with Lee and Talley. There is one song on the Lee/Talley version where you can clearly hear Amon. So not everything was changed when Lee and Talley recut Amon and Tremble’s vocals. Some songs like the instrumental were left as they were.
