NQC Votes To Stay In Louisville

After all the hoopla among Southern Gospel fans about whether or not the National Quartet Convention would be moving to Nashville, TN in 2007, the NQC board voted to remain in Louisville, KY for an additional year (2007). They also left the door open to stay in Louisville thru 2009.
 
I don't think the majority of fans were so much opposed to the idea of a move as they were opposed to Nashville being the other option. At least, I know I wouldn't have minded it going to another venue, but I didn't like the idea of downtown Nashville. I've been there in the past for Gospel Music Week, and I think the Louisville facilities . . . though showing age . . . are better suited to the type of crowd NQC attracts. Also, there's the fact that NQC fans welcomed the move to Louisville in the early 1990s because they felt the town of Nashville didn't want them there . . . not a good idea to move back, even if it is better now than it was then. Nashville is the country music capitol of the world. The same could be said for contemporary forms of gospel music. Southern Gospel will always feel like the red headed step child when it comes to getting respect in Nashville.
 
That being said, I would be in favor of a move to somewhere other than Louisville if the alternative could offer a similar "in your own little SG world" setting. That's the underlying factor that has made Louisville so well loved by NQC fans.
