Try it…you’ll like it!

Sometimes, I guess you could call me an evangelist for gospel music.

Tonight at work(where I'm typing this from), I was talking to a friend on the phone, and describing the radio show on Sunday mornings I co-host. Naturally, I was asked about the kind of music we play on the show, so I decided to give her as direct an answer to her question as I could.

I have recorded a number of my favorite gospel songs...old and new...from my personal collection into the hard drive system our station runs on...so I decided to give her a mini-concert over the phone. For the next several minutes, I played her songs by the Blackwood Brothers, Gold City, Legacy Five, the Florida Boys, and even(naturally)the old Couriers Quartet!

She is a hardcore Amy Grant/Mercy Me/Jars of Clay fan all the way(even thinking that Terry Blackwood was part of the Blackwood Brothers...she knew him from Andrus, Blackwood, and Co.)...and she was not really familiar with the gospel quartet sound. But with each song I played, she found she liked gospel quartet music more and more....which made me smile...because I've always maintained that gospel quartet music is irresistible if you like good music!

So tonight, gospel quartet music got a new fan...proving that people with open minds and ears can fall in love with it when they only give it a chance. But most of you know that, right?
