| From the broadcast
the weekend of Sept. 6th & 7th, 2008: |
When our Featured Artists on this broadcast, the Dove Brothers, dropped
by our studios two weeks ago for an interview, their enthusiasm for their
current "Life" CD was readily apparent — even though it's been
out since spring (April 15th). It's already produced two radio hits, "You
Don't Know God's Love" and, most recently, "You Would Think He Would
Learn." The group, as you know, includes two actual brothers, McCray
and Eric Dove, along with Jerry Martin, David Hester
and pianist Jerry Kelso. The album's title is interesting because,
as you heard the guys explain on the program, every song on the CD is, in
some way, about life. You can reach the Dove Brothers at
office@dovebrothersquartet.com
or by phone at 910-863-3808.
The Dove Brothers' CD featured on this program, "Life," is
available from our mailorder service, Springside. Just call 1-800-38-MUSIC
to order. You can order easily from our webstore by
using this
link to go directly to this item. (Orders over $40 in the USA qualify
for free shipping.)
 This was our annual All-Quartets Edition,
celebrating the start of the National Quartet Convention, Sept. 8-13,
2008, in Louisville, KY. (Info about the NQC can be found at
www.natqc.com.) Quartet music has
always been the foundation for what we call Southern Gospel, and, although
many trios and even soloists are part of the field today, quartet music remains
a mainstay today. Technically, I suppose we could have included mixed quartets
on this program, but, as it worked out, they were all male quartets. I always
especially enjoy this program and, judging from your e-mails in past years,
this is a favorite of many of you, too.
The "Yesterday's Voices" feature on this broadcast with the late
James Blackwood will probably be the last "Yesterday's Voices"
feature for the season. But, since response has been overwhelmingly appreciative,
you can be sure this feature will be back in the future.
