The biggest change for us is that before becoming Crystal River we sang all acapella and now we have music. Other than that, the style of singing is the same. Great lyrics plus great harmony equals great songs Carbon Monoxide is odorless, colorless and tasteless. You don't even know when you are exposed until you show the symptoms. We had no way of knowing. We are just thankful to be alive! The original idea was to form a trio, and then add a bass singer later, as the finances became available. After recording a couple of CDs, and establishing a "sound", we decided to leave it like it was and remain a trio. God has certainly blessed our trio for the last eighteen years I was a very strong willed child and when Daddy died in the plane crash I hated the world and God. It took many many years for me to find peace with this and to know that God loved me and had a reason for all things that he ALLOWED to happen. Click on an image to change Feature Article

 “Best Convention Ever”. Those words and sentiments were echoed again and again at the close of the Mid-America Gospel Music Association’s Ninth Annual Convention held November 7 and 8 in Farmington, Missouri.
 I have been so blessed to have lived long enough to have seen some of the great groups of yesteryear. I have great memories of seeing the Statesmen with Rosie, Jake, Doyle, Big Chief, and Hovie. I remember seeing the Blackwood Brothers singing in the Arthur Godfrey Show
 Most of the articles I have read have been more like advertisements from politicians running for office. The people in this industry who hold the reigns simply don’t care! The Government that is SGM has become a Communist Regime.
 We need to look into our relationships and remind ourselves that this is important and definitely worth fighting for! We aren’t to be fighting one another, but rather fighting FOR one another.
 Many think that getting your part is all there is to singing in a quartet. But, when you sing in a group for any length of time, you begin realize that if a quartet does not BLEND vocally, it will never really sound good, or minister to the crowd
 The gift of encouragement doesn't require a paid position or an office. As this boat we are all in gets bigger, it's more important than ever for us to cover each other in support. We need to encourage one another to press on, continue to walk forward, hold fast to our gifts and never, ever give up
 There is a logical and orderly method to succeeding in SGM and it works just like God’s law says it should…you start at the beginning and you grow from there. How does this compare to the current system in SGM? You know – Send a song to radio – Wait a few months – blah, blah, blah, blah
 I let you in on a private worship moment to let those of you who are perhaps living at mach 9 like I am currently that the Lord has you (us) in mind. He can be found in all of life if we just pay attention
 As we here in the Houston area recently braced ourselves for the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, many residents were wondering aloud the age-old question, “Why do bad things happen to good people?”
 1. Is the health of gospel music deteriorating or is it stronger than ever?
2. Does a new independent artist have a better chance at succeeding today than 20 years ago? ...  In October, we were thrilled to attend a concert where Carroll McGruder and Priscilla McGruder received Lifetime Achievement Awards individually at the UPCI General Conference in Greensboro, NC
