Booth Brothers: Declaration
Wow, two blog posts in two days! I suppose the adage "when it rains, it pours" is true in this case. I would've covered the Booth Brothers' latest album in my post yesterday, but it was already long enough, and this project has pretty well blown me away. From the first track, they mean business, both in song choice and the wonderful producing by Lari Goss. To go through track by track would be a tad extensive, and somewhat biased on my part. I thoroughly enjoy any Booth Brothers project, and I truly appreciate their friendship to me, especially Michael's. I am sure I barely know him, but from what I do know of the "real Michael", this album displays his character very well.
Michael's recital on the bonus track, Statement of Faith, showcases his conviction for the Gospel very well, if not solely in the emotion in his voice. In addition, the choices of several songs set this album apart in my eyes, with such tracks as I See Grace, which I wrote about last month, and my personal favorite, We Believe. The latter is such an amazing song both in the arrangement and the lyric. Musically, Michael showcases his very wide range by handling the first solo, which is in the lowest key. In fact, just mapping out Michael's lowest and highest notes on the track, he uses nearly two octaves, going from a Bb2 in the first verse up to an A4 at four minutes fifty-three seconds. In fact, when the Booth Brothers first started singing, Michael did not sing tenor. The brothers' father, Ron Booth Sr. handled the tenor duties, while Ronnie sang lead and Michael sang none other than baritone. What a wonderful gift.
Two other favorites from the album are The Gospel Song/Before the Cross, and Absolute Peace. The first few lines of the latter truly captivated me: "When I listen to the news, with its gloom and doom reviews; talk of war and nations in distress. I'm reminded of God's Word, how my every prayer is heard, all my fears are calmly laid to rest. I shall hold fast my faith in the Lord, for He promised to be faithful to His Word. With tomorrow in His hand and His perfect master plan, I will trust Him and have absolute peace." Such simple, yet sweet and true words.
After several bloggers posted a joint review of the album, I knew what to expect out of Then I Met The Master, but even with that foreshadowing, I was pleasantly surprised, not only by the arrangement, but by the soundtrack. The transition from the a capella choral track into piano and eventually full orchestra is quite lovely. One can liken it to a well written movie...the introduction, increasing action, climax, and resolution fit together and are timed very well.
All in all, this album is one of my top listened pieces. I am thrilled to see such continuing quality from this trio time and time again. Who they give the praise to, though is key, and I believe a large part of their success. They could let their gains go to their head, but instead they turn them and use them to further their ministry, as it should be.

Phones, Gold, and the Dying Dollar
It has been a coon's age since I have posted! Lots has been happening...both in my life, the technological world, and the geopolitical world. Exciting stuff! First of all...why I've been gone so long. I was recently promoted at my workplace, one of the two Sam's Clubs in Springfield, specifically 4985 on the south side of Springfield. The Club's opening was July 23, 2009, and I started out as a cart attendant. In October, I moved inside to cashiering. That...didn't work so well.
It didn't work so well in that I am good at it, but it didn't challenge me physically or mentally...it didn't even satisfy me, just bored me. By February, I was doing two or three days a week in carts, then usually weekends on register. As of April 20th, I moved back into carts. Two and a half weeks ago, though, I was asked if I would be interested in working at the Connection Center, which is where I have been now for just over a week.
Having never worked with cell phones much, let alone plans (my Club deals with AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile plans), I had no idea what I was getting into. I love technology, and keep updated on computers, but phones had never been my forté. However, I am adapting to the role quite well, especially since the current generation of Android-powered smartphones have the same characteristics of a laptop of just a few years ago. Connection Center is challenging, but I am enjoying it immensely.
For the first time...thanks to my new position...I am VERY excited about the release of a new cell phone. The Galaxy S series by Samsung is releasing on all four carriers. At my Club, T-Mobile released it first, as the Samsung Vibrant, on July 15. July 18, AT&T released the Samsung Captivate, and Sprint is taking preorders for the Samsung Epic 4G, which differs from the other three carriers in that it is about one and a half times as thick (14.6mm as opposed to the Captivates 9.9mm), and features a slider-type design with a full keyboard. I am not sure at the present time what Verizon's version will be called, but regardless, the phone is VERY nice. Especially for AT&T in that it is just as powerful as the iPhone 4 (I'd say a bit more powerful), is powered by Android (mostly free apps as opposed to the Apple App Store's 80% non-free applications), and it is available. Out of eight that we received on the 16th, three were sold on the release date ALONE. Since I have been off work the past two days, I imagine that it's possible that we could have all of them sold by now. Exciting stuff! The Galaxy S series features a 4-inch AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode), a 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 16 gigabytes of internal flash memory plus the ability to hold up to a 32 gigabyte MicroSD card. 720p HD recording, a 6-axis accelerometer...all-in-all a VERY powerful device for such a tiny package.
Okay. I'll step off my soap box. Gauging by the way I get fired up about just THIS phone, I think I'll do pretty well in my new position.
I mentioned the geopolitical world earlier. Well, you surely know my stance on Biblical eschatology, and just viewing the world through that "third-lens", there are all sorts of things happening. Out of fourteen meetings between Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, only ONE has gone well. That was the last one, in which the subject of a strike on Iran was notably avoided. Also, the US Dollar's demise as the once world standard currency is becoming more evident even within our own borders. For instance, this story just eight days ago details how competing currencies are being accepted in mid-Michigan, pointing out that the Coinage Act of 1965 says "private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash, unless there is a state law which says otherwise." There is plenty of evidence out there of the dollar's demise, as gold continues to rise. I see many commercials for gold buyers on television and there is a wide misconception among folks I talk to on the subject that the value of gold is rising, when in fact the value of gold is staying stable, but the strength of the dollar is weakening dramatically.
Well, I am all typed out for now. I'll have to post again soon and not be silent so long.
Keep strong in the Faith!

Remembering The Cathedrals
So...I had a VERY blessed night last night at a wonderful concert in Springfield, MO. A local quartet, The Ascension hosted a concert featuring none other than Legacy Five, Mark Trammell Quartet, Greater Vision, and Danny Funderburk, "Remember the Music". The first half featured each artist individually, then the second half featured a "makeshift" (so to speak) quartet of Danny, Gerald, Scott, Mark, and Glenn. Naturally, Fowler sat back on several songs so he could watch his heroes perform. It was a very Spirit-filled time as the four former Cathedrals' members reminisced on times past, a couple bus stories, and different songs that hadn't been sung in years. Glenn did a phenomenal job "filling in" for George, as Gerald Wolfe put it. Personally, the most timeless moment of the night was when Danny started out on Somebody Touched Me. He didn't even get the first phrase out before the audience erupted in applause, and it just got better. Unfortunately, with my mother in vacation in Washington, I had no camera to record video with, but as many folks were there, I'm sure there'll be videos on YouTube in no time, and I'll have those up.
Upon scouring YouTube for several minutes, I've found one video from last night's concert of Greater Vision singing Hallelujah Square. Slightly blurry, but the audio quality is grand, and Chris Allman's qualities shine on the video. I will make more blog posts as more videos from the concert "pop up".
I REALLY look forward to videos of the Mark Trammell Quartet from last night. They really shined, and I was very impressed by the new sound, and how well Pat Barker has already gelled with the group. The new tenor, Joel Wood, is also a class act, and through the performance, I could hear distinct similarities between his and Eric Phillips' voices...perhaps it was just me. I look forward to what is in store for the Mark Trammell Quartet, though!
Legacy Five also did a wonderful job. It was only the second time I've had the opportunity to see them live, and still not on a concert by themselves, as the first time I saw them was the first concert of the Jubilee Tour they did with Greater Vision and the Booth Brothers. I would still like to see them on a full set soon, but Gus Gaches gave a stellar performance last night.
Greater Vision, too, did wonderful, performing hits such as He'd Still Been God, and My Name Is Lazarus. Rodney wrapped up their set with one of my favorites of his songs, Faces. What powerful lyrics, and a wonderful audible image of how the way one lives their life for Christ can do more than what they say.
"I dreamed my life was done, and I stood before God's Son. It was time to see what my reward would be. With love He reviewed my life to count was done for Christ. For that was what would last eternally. See, I'd done my best to share that Jesus really cares, and He would save if they would just believe. Oh, but seldom did harvest come. So few did I see won until the Lord said, "Turn around, and see." Then He showed me faces of the ones who'd come because of me. So many faces that my life had led to Calvary. All those years I thought nobody saw, as I labored in lowly places. That's when Jesus smiled and showed me all the faces."
What powerful and true words.
Until next time,
Timothy

I'm Still Here!
Well...it's been a while since I've posted. Might as well address some Southern Gospel news. Steve Ladd's new album has come out, featuring some wonderful tracks from my favorite Gold City tenor. On the self-titled album, Steve covers several new songs, but also covers two of his Gold City songs, I'll Walk On, and When Jesus Saves.
I must say, though, my favorite song on the album is My Petition, a lovely track about a boy going door-to-door with a petition to the President, "with a list numbered one to ten, it said: Make a law where daddies don't work late, keep Uncle Joe and those soldiers safe, give those kids on TV all they want to eat. Put a stop to bullies on the bus. No crime, no AIDS, no hate, no drugs. Give a jacket and a job to people on the street. I said, 'Son, that sounds like a world I'd like to live in,' and I signed his petition." I encourage you to check the album out. I don't think you will be disappointed! Steve has such wonderful vocal ability and a way to communicate lyrics that I just love, and this album displays that very well.
That album was actually the reason I recently downloaded iTunes, but I have also made a couple recent purchases of a talented quartet in Oregon. Rescue is an a capella gospel quartet, and between 2001 and 2004, Tim Storms sang bass with them. If you don't recognize the name, Tim Storms currently holds two world records, one for the lowest recorded vocal note (8Hz, or the C two octaves below the lowest C on a grand piano), and for widest male vocal range, six and a half octaves, if I remember correctly. I believe that is just chest voice, too...NOT falsetto. Comparatively I have a five octave range with falsetto, roughly three and a half octaves in chest voice. Anyway... Tim currently sings bass with Pierce Arrow in Branson, along with former lowest-bass-record holder Dan Britton, who sang down to a still-staggering 16Hz, or the C one octave below the lowest C on the grand piano.
Anyway. Back to Rescue. In 2003, the group released The Difference, a wonderful ten-track album that I love listening to. In 2008, Before The Throne was released. I purchased those two yesterday and have been listening to them nearly exclusively since then. Even though Tim Storms left in 2004, the bass vocalist on Before The Throne still posseses stellar depth and range. Both albums feature great vocal percussion by Brandon Bell. It took me a few listens on many tracks to realize that the drums were NOT a drumset, but a human voice. Outstanding! For a nice demo of Tim Storms vocals, though, take a minute to watch this video of him singing That Lonesome Road from their reunion DVD.
Until next time,
Timothy

Late Night Ponderings
I haven't posted in a couple days, so I might as well go ahead and do that now. I'm quite happy at the moment...my stomach is full of steak and coffee, two of the greatest substances on earth...at least in my opinion. Eh...I have to renege on that. Cheesecake. And banana pudding. I'd better stop listing things while I'm ahead!
At the moment I'm listening to the soundtrack from O Brother, Where Art Thou?...quite good stuff. I especially enjoy the a capella arrangement of Down To The River To Pray that's included, along with the multiple versions of Man Of Constant Sorrows.
Between that and upgrading my laptop to the newest version of Linux Ubuntu, 10.04 "Lucid Lynx", which came out a few hours ago, my evening is going quite well. I am working on a first installment of a blog series on Daniel's Seventy Sevens, but alas, forgot my copy of J. Dwight Pentecost's Things To Come at home, which has some research that I feel is essential for pointing out the sheer accuracy of the prophecy. Yes, I could just hop on Google Books and probably find the excerpt from the book I need, but another "rambling time" seems more appealing than switching from tab to tab in Chrome to write on Daniel 9:24-27. Besides, it is already 11:00pm, and I'm sure you've already seen how I can stray from topic at this time of night. So, thus, a fun, random rambling post.
But "ponderings" sounds more professional. Maybe not professional, but intelligent. That's the word I'm looking for. Somehow that reminds me of Booth Brother's concerts...even though I hear the same jokes at the concerts over and over again, they always are entertaining. Such is the case whenever Michael will bring up a song, but "not remember the name". Jim or Ronnie will inquire what the song is, or what it is about, and Michael will reply, "That...that song...the song about God." "Well, that narrows it down!"
See how I strayed from topic there? The topic didn't even stay consistent through a single paragraph. I might as well keep on typing...my update won't be done for another hour and forty minutes, but I am quite excited about it.
Anyway, I mentioned the Booth Brothers in that previous paragraph...I have already fallen in love with one of the songs from their upcoming album, Declaration. The song, I See Grace, features a very powerful lyric with music that somewhat strays from the typical chord patterns. It is in the key of G, thus will definitely contain G, C, and D, but the song also includes A minor, B minor, E minor, and some suspended form of F. It boggles my mind, but it is such a beautiful score to back up the lyrics.
Here in these walls, here in these rows, there are those who regret the roads they once chose. But more than the sorrow, more than the pain, there is joy for the way, and through Christ they've been changed.
There are lives free from bondage, of since once concealed. There are bodies and minds, and spirits now healed. But those who found freedom, and shook off the chains from the long years of guilt, anger, and shame:
I see grace, I see grace! In every life, on every face. Of the faithful who gather each week in this place, I see grace.
There are those in this life who've been dealt a poor hand. They've overcome and by God's strength they stand. Those who have come through unbearable loss, not defined by the past, but defined by the Cross!
I see grace, I see grace! In every life, on every face. Of the faithful who gather each week in this place, I see grace.
Story after story, one common theme: God's power and glory in those He's redeemed. Such tender mercy, time after time. In so many ways in this story that's mine,
I see grace! Grace, I see grace! In every life, on every face. Of the faithful who gather each week in this place, I see -- Of the faithful who gather each week in this place, I see grace! I see grace!
With that I will end this post. I hope you enjoyed it through all the randomness.
Until next time,

The Perrys - If You Knew Him
I'm sure you will discover as time goes on how emotional I can get about songs. Not "crying my eyes out" emotional, but a well written, anointed Gospel song can touch me as deep in four minutes as a full sermon can. A couple weeks ago, it was Greater Vision's You're Not Forsaken. Yesterday my best friend let me borrow her new Perrys album, Almost Morning. I was so excited to get to listen to it. I love their arrangement of This Old Sinner Testifies, and Tracy Stuffle really shows how much of a powerhouse bass singer he is on that track. However, the song that touches my heart very deeply at the moment is If You Knew Him, penned by Rodney Griffin and the Perrys' own Joseph Habedank.
I walked by the tomb of Buddha
Looked inside, and saw his bones.
Traveled on to see Mohammed,
Still wrapped up in his grave clothes.
Then I journeyed to a garden
Where old Joseph left Him lay.
The precious Lamb, God's own begotten,
Was no longer in that grave.
If you knew Him like I know Him
You would know that He's alive.
If you felt Him like I feel Him
Resurrection, deep inside!
You'd know He's living,
And death has died.
If you're wandering in the darkness
Come and step into the light.
Nail scarred hands reach out to help you,
To pull you safe from death to life.
Friend, I, too, have stood where you stand.
Couldn't trust in things unseen,
Just one step in His direction,
Then in Love, He ran to me!
Enjoy the message in this powerful song.
Until next time,
Timothy
