Greg & Heather's Southern Gospel Concert Blog, Comments from the Back Row

My daughter and her family came into town for my 60th birthday. Thank you guys!
It was the first time Brandy or Michael or grandson Mik had seen the McKameys. They really enjoyed the music and the powerful message in the songs.

This was the first time we heard The Collingsworth Family.

First, let me say this is the friendliness church we have ever been in. There were greeters outside in the parking lot, in the vestibule, and again inside the sanctuary. As we sat there (we are always early to make sure we get the ‘right’ seat) church members went up and down the aisles shaking hands, even young elementary aged children were greeting everyone. We felt very welcome. As we leaving a lady was helping, what appeared to be her mother, into her wheelchair, a deacon came rushing over and offered to wheel her out while the daughter pulled the car to the front. You can’t beat that.

The Collingsworth Family was outstanding. The harmony was great. They bring a grand piano with them in a trailer they tow behind the bus to all performances. I’d like to have watched them get it up on the stage. My only negative is the concert was much too long to not have had a break.

• Dove Brothers – Great as always, Burman Porter is back as the bass singer. We will miss David Hester, but Burman is back!
• Chuck Wagon Gang – Very good, still miss Dave Emory

Thsi was a small pentecostal type church, with very friendly outgoing people. It is definitely a country church. This little old lady kept hollering “hal-a-lou-yer, praise the Loaurd!”

We just saw The LeFevres last month, still great sound.

This church is in middle of no-where, I know I say that a lot, but Broxton is a one light town, and this church is 15 miles outside of town. You stand outside the front door and you can’t see another building or house. The pastor is an interesting man. He looks like he stepped out right of the early 70s, leisure suit, hair, and long sideburns.

Michael Combs was great, but a little long, he kept repeating parts of his testimony over and over.

The church is large for the middle on nowhere. It’s about 11 miles west of Bainbridge, Georgia. The members were friendly to us. The pew we sat on wasn’t bolted to the floor and I almost knocked it over trying to sit down. Then later, when the LeFevres took a break, Mike sat down in choir loft and his row of seats wasn’t bolted down either and he fell over.
This was the 1st time were heard the LeFevre Quartet. We really enjoyed them. They invited us to join then in Cairo next month. We will go.

It is Brandy’s birthday, so they, Brandy, Michael, and Mik, came to see me.
Legacy Five just seemed ‘off’. Harmony was ‘fair’, group interaction seemed ‘off’. It was the shortest concert we’ve ever attended. They seemed in a hurry to sing and get out of there. We love these guys, but this night was disappointing to all.
