Three Bridges to Disband

It's a sad day in Southern Gospel Music land. First the Florida Boys announced that they are retiring and now it seems to be offical - Three Bridges is disbanding. It appears that Mitch Kenitzer and Dave McVay have resigned from Three Bridges.

I first heard of this last week but was told that there was still hope of a mending of ways but alas it looks like that is not to be. It's a shame when a group that has just hit its stride so to speak, implodes. Inside sources site artistic differences as the main reason for the break up.

Three Bridges recent song "A Little Song Comin On" went to number one on the Singing News charts. This was there second number one song with "In The Sky" being their first.

Ivan Parker Interview

I have to say I am excited about the Ivan Parker interview that is scheduled to be aired tomorrow on the Morning Show. Ivan is always fun to talk to and this time was no different. Ivan talks about the music on his new Southern Gospel album, "That Was Then This Is Now". He gives insight into the music on this CD.

I actually caught Ivan off gaurd somewhat with one question about how he resists temptation on the road. Ivan,(like myself LOL), is a handsome man that is away from home for a large part of the year so I thought that I would ask him how he stays pure. His answer is something that all men, and women, can benefit from hearing.

Ivan Parker also discusses being the first solo act to be invited to sing on the main stage at the National Quartet Convention. He reflects on the loss of his long time friend Anthony Burger and more.

Its going to be a great morning of music and Ivan that you won't want to miss.
