NQC By Internet, Friday, Hour 4

Snapshots From Friday Evening
9:01 The Talley Trio has the audience sing "The Old Rugged Cross," then Debra Talley introduces the Florida Boys. They open up their set with a 1970s sounding arrangement of "I Can't Even Walk."

9:08 The Florida Boys are singing "On Some Sweet Day" featuring tenor singer Harold Reed. They did this on Monday night, as well.

9:11 53-year veteran baritone Glen Allred is featured next on "More About Jesus." That's 53 years with the Florida Boys, not his age. Allred performed with the Oak Ridge Boys previously, when he was still a teenager. The Florida Boys were known by a different name when he joined them, incidentally. See my Florida Boys Biography for more information.

9:16 The Florida Boys are doing the same songs in the same order as Monday night. They were singing "Tell Me Why" when Solid Gospel's DJ broke in to interview Ronnie Page and Shaye Truax.

9:23 The Kingdom Heirs open up their set with "I'll Be A Friend To Jesus," a song they also performed earlier in the week at the Vintage Quartet Showcase. The internet mix has too much tenor, no baritone, and very little bass...sounds like the group is singing good, though.

9:26 Next up is "Sing, Shout, Dance," a song from their new CD. The mix is better now...still too much tenor, but it's OK on this tune since he has the melody most of the time.

9:28 "Good News From The Graveyard" is a cool bass feature song.

9:32 The band is featured on "Keep On The Firing Line" with a touch of the "Overture from William Tell" thrown in for good measure. They were awarded the Favorite Band Fan Award last night. After the song is finished, Adam Harman is prompted by Steve French to reprise his piano part with no help from the rest of the band.

9:36 Arthur Rice is featured next on the title cut from the group's last CD, "Forever Changed." What a voice.

9:46 After some commercials and DJ ramblings on Solid Gospel, the Reggie Saddler Family takes the stage and opens with an a cappella rendition of "The Lord's Prayer."

9:50 "I've Got Me A Home" features Reggie, with his family providing back up. He draws the audience in by throwing in lines like, "How am I doing?" and "You people in wheelchairs are gonna like this verse."

9:53 "Any Time, Any Place, Anywhere" features the ladies of the group.

9:57 Reggie lists his rules for the men his daughters are allowed to marry. His wife "Sugar Baby," then sings the classic "Precious Lord, Take My Hand."
