National Quartet Convention 05

This week is one of my favorites. The National Quartet Convention is on (this Monday through Saturday) featuring many of my favorite Southern Gospel groups. To listen live visit http://www.solidgospel.com/ or listen to 950 AM (for Idaho blog visitors).

This is not the vocal stack that you hear in many of the "live" concerts. The broadcast is taken directly from the mics of the vocalists bypassing the vocal stacks that give that smooth sound in concert. It's a fantastic way to find out which groups are legitimately good and which groups fake it.

I can tell you, from what I've heard so far, the Perrys, Brian Free and Assurance, Crossway Quartet, and the Reggie Sadler family are for real. There are several who are just awful! Some quartets need to spend more time practicing their licks instead of hitting the links.

Overall, though, it's been a fantastic auditory experience! There's nothing like SG!
