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.
