You all know by now that this Chicago native with a Jewish father and British mother knew very little about the South and its glorious ways until I met my husband: Grits, the Grand Ole Opry and yes, even the Gaither Vocal Band alluded me.
I know – I hear the gasp of shock from all of you who live below the Mason Dixon line. The first time he showed me a Homecoming on tv, I asked, “Why are they all sitting on the stage?” When my husband finished laughing, I followed it with, “…and how do they know the words to all those songs?” …he still hasn’t let me live it down.
While I still don’t know all the songs and harmonies of this amazing group, I’ve come to love and appreciate their great talent and faith. I especially connected with Bill Gaither recently when he appeared on Talk of the Town after me and referenced the School Board from The Music Man as the start of the great four-part male harmonies (The Music Man was one of the first musicals I ever saw and to this day continues to be one of me and my family’s favorites!).

[…] Ricky, I was introduced to a whole new world of music – Southern Gospel. When I saw my first Gaither Homecoming on TV, I wondered how everyone knew all those songs without looking at any words! (And wondered why […]
I clap my hands and cry holy
I posted a link to this page on my Facebook page so my friends can come check this really cool website out! I’m a big fan!
Loving God, Loving Each Other is my favorite of all time! I do love many of their songs, though! This is my favorite because it tells of the greatest commandment “Love God with all your heart, soul and strength. The second is like unto it… to love your neighbour as your self” It’s how we are to live…in a song!
