Murray Gospel Explosion - July 1st

We helped started the week of celebration of our nation's birth with a Gospel singing in the Central Park Amphitheater in Murray, Kentucky. Singing with us for the evening of Gospel music prior to fireworks were the popular Smith Family Trio of Fulton, Tennessee. A great crowd enthusiastically received the Gospel in song from both groups.

The gospel event was sponsored by the Bank of Murray and was one of many simultaneous activities in the Park -- a great family venue. The evening was capped off with a gigantic fireworks display.

Gaither Suites at Westpark - June 30th

Our close friends, the residents of Gaither Suites Assisted Living Center in Paducah, invited us into their home once again for an after-dinner evening of Gospel singing. As usual, the Echoes sang some of our favorite songs, and then invited the residents to call out their favorites from the hymn books passed around in the "parlor."

We always enjoy visiting with the residents afterward, shaking hands and offering words of encouragement. Actually, the most encouraging words come from them. We'll be going back before too long.

Pleasant Hill General Baptist - June 24th

We visited with the folks at Pleasant Hill General Baptist Church for their annual Homecoming. Although it started out as a rainy afternoon, which resulted in the noon meal being held in the church, we sang up a storm inside, while the rain subsided outside.

It was good to see both old and new friends, as we had not been to Pleasant Hill for a good while. Everyone enjoyed a good Spirit and fellowship during the afternoon.

Glorybound Christian Entertainment - June 8th

The Echoes continued a pretty busy Spring season, returning to Stella, Kentucky (near Murray) and the Glorybound Christian Entertainment venue. Always held at the Goshen Methodist Church Fellowship building, and hosted by Joe Lawrence, we always have a good time singing to attentive and appreciative audiences at Glorybound.

This time, we sang with two soloists -- Jeff Prater and Ivan Hughes. Both men have beautiful voices and a great testimony. We enjoyed very much sharing the evening of Gospel Music and worship with them.

There for a while, it was "iffy" if we were going to be there. Sharon's youngest daughter, Tammy, is expecting Sharon's 6th grandchild any time, and Sharon was on Grandmother-Madelynn sitting duty when the big event's time comes. But, the stork waited, and Sharon was at Glorybound, rarin' to sing.

No Singing Notes For Some Time

Well, well..... Where have the Singing Notes been? It's not that we haven't been singing pretty regularly. It's more like David has been so busy that he hasn't had the time to compile brief notes about the various singings the Echoes from Calvary have been having. Well, if you've missed them, SORRY ABOUT THAT!

Let's try to get this back on stream....
