What Makes A Legend?

When considering the artists who are to be invited to the annual Gospel Legend's Reunion, I take into account what kind of witness for Christ the individual artist has displayed, how long the artist has continued in the field of Gospel Music, even if not always on a full-time basis, what kind of reputation the artist has among his peers, what the artist has contributed to Gospel Music, whether the artist is admired and loved by the public, and of course, can I afford to the artist.  I have invited a few artists with some trepidation, wondering whether they would be difficult to work with, only to find that they were very humble and quite cooperative.  Actually, every artist that we have ever had at the Gospel Legend's Reunion, has been absolutely great to work with, and they have been willing to do everything in their power to make each event a total success.  What blessings they each have been to me, and there are great friendships that are being cast every year through this great reunion. 

Next year, the Gospel Legend's Reunion will take place on August 1 & 2, at the Goodlettsville Cumberland Presbyterian Church, 226 South Main Street, Goodlettsville, TN., and will offer opportunities to be up close and personal with these great artists.  On Saturday, August 2, we will be having a "Front Porch Reunion & Bar-B-Que" in the gymnasium where the "Legends" will gather on a large stage set up like an old fashion front porch, will sing some songs "off the cuff", tell some "road" stories, answer some questions, and will share some "good ole down-home eats".  Each evening you'll be entertained by a band under the direction of Nick Bruno, and will hear each of your favorite "Legends" perform your favorite songs.  We hope to have some "Lady Legends" in the mix next year as well.  Actually, some invitations have already gone out to some ladies. 

We've been asked by Channel 57, LIVE-TV, Atlanta to air the 2013 Gospel Legend's Reunion video, that is still in the process of being edited, and we hope to have videos available for purchase soon as well.

Believe me, all 24 guys that were part of the 2013 Gospel Legend's Reunion are Legends!

Blessings!
