Inspirations Concert

Last night, Grace, Rachel, David and I went to the Inspirations Concert in Lakeland. This group is my all-time favorite Southern Gospel Quartet and most of the family feels the same way. I appreciate the fact that they have stayed conservative in their music and haven't changed to more contemporary styles. We were surprised when we got to the concert and realized that another one of our favorite groups was there also - The One-Man Quartet. Matt Dibbler was not able to travel with the group this weekend and Chris Smith was traveling with them in Matt's place. On top of hearing the Inspirations singing 25 songs we were privelegded to hear Chris Smith and his one man quartet sing two songs as well.
