Road Trip Review, Day 3, Part A

Monday Afternoon Showcase, September 12, 2005 - NQC
Comments are in blue. Asterisks (*) are beside groups that impressed me with their performances. Apologies for incorrect titles. I was guessing at most of these.

*Randy Miller (Miller was also the host.)
"Let Faith Answer The Door"/"I Surrender All" (Harmonica solo...it was great, but the audience wasn't ready for a slow song. A lot of talking was going on while Miller was playing this expressive number.)

Family Tradition
"He's Pouring Out The Latter Rain"/"He's Alive" (Their track started skipping on this song, so Miller hopped up and played piano for them. The crowd gave them a standing ovation, so they did an encore again with piano...smart...milking an equipment malfuntion to win over the audience.)

New Plainsmen Quartet
"If You Could See Where I Am"/"Heavenbound"

Pathfinders
"I'm On A Journey"/"Carried By Grace"

Chosen Ones
"The Covenant" (Probably not the title, as this song had no clear "hook.")/"I'm Not Ashamed"

Embrace
"Surrender To The Lord"/"Blood Bought, Faith Walkin' Child Of The King"

Tar Heel State (This group performed as a trio with piano. They used to be a quartet.)
"I'm Movin' Up On The Mountain"/"When I Kneel At The Foot Of The Cross"

Soul'd Out (This group was being marketed with a flyer in every chair.)
"We Shall Rise"/"Please Remember Me"

*Shiloh (The accompaniment died again, so this group sang a cappella and won over the crowd. Randy Miller went to the piano for the second song, but the lead singer said, "We'll just do it Church Of Christ style" and got a laugh.)
"Doxology"/"How Great Thou Art"

*Randy Miller
"There'll Be No Dentures In Heaven"

Angelina McKeithan
"I'll Fly Away" (McKeithan plays harmonica like Angie Hoskins sings...all around the melody.)/"Blessed Assurance"/"Amazing Grace" (harmonica duet with Randy Miller)

Northmen
"It's In The Savior's Hands"/"His Amazing Love"

Right Spirit
"You Brought Me Through"/"In God's Hands"

*Greater Faith
"Gettin' Up And Going To The Promised Land"/"Faithful Is Your Name"

*Crist Family
"In The Great Beyond"/"Worth The Trip"

Trinity Quartet
"He Took My Place"/"He's The One"

*Bradys
"More Than A Book"/"Waiting On A Day Like That"

Homesteaders Quartet
"Come And See"/"I Built The Cross"

Sunday Edition
"He Keeps Lifting Me Higher"/"What A Day That Will Be" (Sunday Edition was joined by their pastor Johnny Minick, who sang with them on the first song and played piano for the second.)

There were about five more groups scheduled on the program after Sunday Edition that I didn't hear.
