More digging back into the tape vault posts.We are once again deep into Unky Cliff's Gospel tape stash with a double offering. First up are the wonderful Golden Jubilees and their glorious bass singer Joshua Hankinson. This tape series has really opened my ears to the Jubilee Quartet tradition that preceded the 'Hard Gospel' Quartets like the Soul Stirrers. One thing that seems to be true in this singing tradition as opposed to hard gospel is that it is not so hard on the singers physically and so they seem to enjoy greater longevity. The second offering today is a perfect example of that, I don't think that any member of the Gospel Christian Singers is younger than 75 years old and yet their harmonies are still sweet.

The Sunday service here is the best to which I have ever listened and the only one I have awaited with anticipation. Whether this says something about me, the music, or the current state of church services, I leave others to decide.
Thank you for feeling my Easter Sunday with joy and hope!
That is to say "filling my Easter Sunday with joy and hope."
