Don’t be shy…

In my most recent entry here, I asked if any of you had ideas or topics that I could write about here.

The response has been a little slow so far, and I hope it's not because none of you care, or you're a little put off that I would make such a request.

I know there are a number of you out there, and part of the reason I started this blog was to share myself with you, and maybe say something that might brighten your spirits or your days. I want to interact here. A very dear friend of mine expressed concern privately that I might be down, or in low spirits.

Nothing could be farther from the truth...I am in a good mood of late...God has shown me in many and various ways just how much He really does love and care for me.

As have many of you...and for that, I'm humbly thankful and grateful.

I am expecting my unexpected tax refund any day now, I have heard wonderful things from many wonderful friends, and I am immersing myself in His music as much as possible these days.

I am very fortunate to have at my disposal a number of the finest gospel singers who have ever lived, and hearing them sing their songs of praise and testimony is a constant blessing and source of pleasure to me. And I have ideas on new topics for my history articles...I can hardly wait to write them for you.

But I've just been grinding my gears when it comes to my private little corner of the web...so knowing that this isn't so much about me as it is all of you, I'm looking forward to finding out what you might want here.

The coming month will be a big one for me, and I want you all to enjoy it along with me.

So how about it...what would you like?:-)

I would like for you to run a series about old time gospel music.Example- who was the popular quartets and etc: from 1940/1950. Thanks

adkinsdean's avatar John,
I can understand your problem -- it seems that certain topics: ministry vs entertainment, appearance (hair, clothes etc), stacks, bands (and lack thereof)and so on, have been discussed ad nauseam. Finding a "new" topic is difficult. Please, I'm begging, don't resort to "who is your favorite tenor etc" or "if you could put together an all-start quartet"...when I see those threads, I immediately stop reading.

Something to ponder...what if the Blackwood Brothers plane crash had not happened. Would the Blackwood Brothers have made the same impact without JD?

I would like to see a feature "Where are they now" feature or something of the liking on living singers who are MIA. Please forgive me if there is already a feature like this that you are doing. Or if you could lead me in the direction for this information. Thanks!

Another thing I'd be interested in your comments on: What percentage of a group's recordings do you have to have before you are in a reasonable position to offer educated opinions on what a group's best lineup (or vocalist at a set position) was?
