GPG Branson monthly singing January 28-30, 2011

Friday:
What a fantastic weekend we had this past weekend!
We finally have settled (for now) into a nice facility for the GPG each month! It's called The Night Light "The Beacon Of Branson". It's a Christian place for night people, really thoughtful. (No drinking...)
We had such an amazing time with just a great line-up!
Who sang: Brad and Tana Bolin, The Willhites, Jack Freeman, Charlie Norman, Us...lol, John Hernandez, Stu Martin, The Lakins, Scotty Nalli (sp?) (and his 2 sisters), 4 His Glory, Mark Dean, Jaimee Brewster, Rachelle (and Mark) Bryant (George's oldest son and daughter-in-law), D.K. Brewster, Julie Renee', The GPG Trio, Tony Pippen, Randy Plummer, Ginger Boles, Joe Chambers, Bob Morse, Voices Of Glory, Eric Hinson (and his group), and Aaron Walker.
About the new artists:
There were a few new artists, as well as of course regulars. Like I said in previous, Rachelle Bryant is George's (newest) daughter-in-law, and wow...should definitely hear her sing! :) (She and Mark and Aaron's in a band called Rushing Wind, a contemporary Christian group.)
I don't know if any of you watch "America's Got Talent" or not, but "Voices of Glory" was (a couple years ago) in the top 5 on there. They're so great!
Hinson's a name you may be a little familiar with, and for good reason...The Hinson's was some of Southern Gospel's top family groups. Ronnie and Kenny had another brother that didn't sing with them, and he has a son names Eric. So yes, Eric Hinson is most definitely related to "The Hinsons", the family that the Southern Gospel family loves so much...He and his wife, and another guy (sorry, don't know his name) sang a few songs, and just wow...(The Hinson sound...)

Ok, now to Saturday. The songwriter's showcase was earlier in the afternoon, then in the evening was the Variety Gathering. I'm not going to go through who was there too (just look at the list, and that was basically it...)

Sunday: Since they were renting the Night Light for the whole weekend, they figured they might as well use it on Sunday too, so from 2-4 they had several (of the same) artists come and sing, and it was still just really great!
We didn't sing on Sunday, in fact, my Grandma and I were the only one's that went...but I still had a great time just sitting and relaxing and LISTENING to everyone else sing... :)


Well, this is long enough, I think I better finish this one off, ha-ha!

Hope you all have a safe and blessed day!

Love y'all,
