Road Trip Final Thoughts

I thought I would wrap up my Road Trip with some final thoughts as I sit at home listening to the live feed of the Singing News Fan Awards here on Thursday night. Jonathan Wilburn just won Favorite Lead, but they cut into his acceptance speech to run a bunch of ads...a necessary evil in radio, unfortunately...sounds like the presenters are as corny as ever...

Top 20 Male Quartets
I've updated my list of Top 20 Male Quartets after seeing most of them perform over the past few days. These are my personal favorites, in the order that I would go see them if more than one was in town on the same night. If you are new to male quartet music, this list of artists would be a great place to start.


"Wish I Had A Camera" Moments

1. I was walking past the booth for "Faith Magazine" on Monday evening and it was totally bare...I guess they didn't have enough faith!
2. On the way home, I got behind a tanker truck. It had a label on the back with the words "Non Edible" in three inch capital letters. Are they having trouble with folks trying to eat tanker trucks?

Word Of Advice
Don't stay at the Rodeway hotel on Phillips Lane unless you enjoy the sound of screaming jets 300 yards directly over your head at two o'clock in the morning.

Thanks
I enjoyed meeting several folks from the message boards at Sogospelnews and SG Nuts...several for the first time. DaJudge has posted some photos at the Nuts board if anyone is interested in seeing what some of us look like. We took photos every day of message board folks who were there.

It was also enjoyable chatting with the artists and industry folks. I'll probably leave some out, but thanks to the following for taking a moment to chew the fat during my Road Trip: Mark Trammell, Eric Phillips, Joseph Smith, Jodi Hosterman, Jonathan Farley, Josh Spencer, Bryan Hutson, Nick Bruno, Scott Inman, Daniel Riley, Channing Eleton (thanks for the "shop talk" about music software), McCray Dove, David Hester, Charlie Waller, Donna Beauvais, Ron Epley, Masters Singers, Josh Franks, Steve French, Nick Succi, Tank Tackett, Rick Webb, RP Wendall, "Big Gene" (of Holy City), John Rulapaugh, and Andrew Ishee

Also, thanks to all who let me know you read this blog during my trip. It was my pleasure to give you my view on the GVB/SSQ, MTT, and NQC events.
