Kirk Talley CD Goes to Radio

Read the story here.

It is very interesting to see how everything has played out.

I cannot help but feel that, as time has gone on, Talley has worked hard to prove himself.

I trust that his career will be blessed by God and that he will be kept from falling by the grace of God.

 

SoGo and Tracks

Kyle Boreing has in interesting post on tracks and how that it is difficult to recover from a mistake when using them.

I am not too fond of tracks. I like orchestration, but I like spontaneity better. I remember fondly the days of the 70’s and 80’s when practically everyone had a full band. I know that economic factors figure in largely with this issue. No doubt that is why many do not have bands.

My question is this: Is it possible to see this change? Is there a widespread desire to see this change? If the answer to these two question is “yes”, what can be done to make the change feasible and attractive to the groups that depend on tracks?

Just musing…….

 

Gospel Singers And Their Income

Daniel Mount has an interesting post about Southern Gospel musicians and the fact that they do not receive as much income as many would think.

I post this close on the heels of an article about pastoral income.

This saddens me.  Why should Christians not support their own……especially those who minister to them?

We have been given so much and give back so little, yet the Lord said,  “freely ye have received, freely give.”  (Matthew 10: KJV

Surely the grace of God would motivate us to gladly do better than we do.

Just musing…….

I Hope No One Gets Any Ideas From This

In the same vein as Averyfineline’s contest ,I offer the following:

There are enough carelessly worded songs as it is……….

Keep Quiet About Politics If You Sing?

Doug over at AVERYFINELINE seems to insinuate that gospel singers should be quiet about politics.

I do not doubt that there are some things that would divide the Christian community. The present war is one of those issues. It is indeed open to debate and could cause much division. I have seen instances in which I was turned off by an artists partisan political statement. On the other hand, southern gospel music has its roots in fundamentalist/evangelical circles. That being so, why should people with convictions that are common to fundamentalists/evangelicals keep quiet about those convictions? After all, considering that many (if not all) southern gospel artists consider themselves to be in the ministry it is logical that they should express some of their beliefs. The content of the gospel is not simply the good news, but it also has to refer to the bad news, or the sin from which sinners are saved. This same sin will destroy nations (Ps 9;17;Prov 14:34). It is hard to understand how one could expect those in the ministry to muzzle themselves, or submit to someone else’s muzzling them.

Perhaps we could expect them to be quiet if this were solely an issue of entertainment. If we accept that the artist is seeking to minister, then we should give them a little wiggle room concerning the issue.

The pastor surely understands that there is often a fine, fuzzy line between politics and morals. Sometimes we must ignore it and call sin by its rightful (or should I say “wrongful?”) name.

Simply musing……
