NQC 2009: Guest Posting

Posted on: September 11th, 2009 by

During last year’s National Quartet Convention (NQC), I made guest posts for the Talley Trio’s community website, www.talleytree-o.com. This was enough of a success that I have been invited to reprise that role, as well as making guest posts to three other Crossroads artists’ community sites: the Crist Family’s, Voices Won’s (www.voiceswon.com), and Janet Paschal’s.

Throughout the week, I plan to post updates from other Crossroads artists and staff on this site. I will also be making general posts, including extended summaries of the evening concerts, at my own website (www.southerngospelblog.com).

Arden, NC: The Dove Brothers Quartet have been in the studio working on their fifth release for Sonlite Records.

The fingers of God point down specific roads. Even when we are totally lost and confused, He has signs guiding us where we should go. Sometimes He gives us directions through people He places in our paths. (more…)

This reminds me of a few years ago when were returning home from another long trip. Roger received word that his aunt had passed away and the family wanted us to sing at the graveside service. (more…)
