January 2007
My connection to the EWUM church goes back several years when my former choir director, Al Jessup, accepted their Director of Music Ministries position and asked me to sing in a couple of special programs. One program I really enjoyed was an old-fashioned church sing where the choir and worship team performed old-time hymns and Gospel music. I sang an up-tempo version of 'Unclouded Day' that was well received, especially with Al's expert piano accompaniment. We had a terrific time on that warm Sunday in June. I also had the opportunity to sing 'How Great Thou Art' there a few months later as Al went home to his eternal reward.
Dianne and I took in the New Years Eve Gospel Music concert that was sponsored by the Tradesmen. It was wonderful to see such a turnout - the place was packed. Jerry and I also attended the Watchmen anniversary concert on January 7, which was also well-attended even given the ticket prices. It is terrific to see Southern Gospel music still well received in Southern California.
I hope to see you at one
of the future concerts of the Cross Road Quartet or other groups soon! |
