KATHY CRABB WEDS IN VEGAS
David Bruce Murray's blog page at www.musicscribe.com is reporting that
Kathy Crabb tied the knot this past weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada.

After a little investigating.. Murray said: "A person named Kathy Jo
Crabb definitely did get married recently in Clark County, Nevada, but
verification that this is the matriarch of the Crabb Family has not
been made at this point."

According to Clark County public records Kathy Jo Crabb married Steven
Ray Hannah on April 15, 2006.

What... in particular?

1. For the news to hit the grapevine?
2. For David to find out about and post it?
3. For Chuck to find out about it from David and post it.
4. Thump, thump, thump... Another one bites the dust...

DBM did some fast investigative work to get the information... We
worked together... I am happy that DBM and I can help each other. We
are not in competition.

[TommyDale]

All of the above.

I'm just wondering why someone would post the news if they aren't sure
it is the same Kathy Crabb we all know.

Actually, we were sure. We just weren't at liberty to bluntly say it was
her.

We were told by a source that it was the Crabb Family's Kathy Crabb, but the
person who told us didn't give us permission to quote them...and neither
Chuck or I is in the habit of posting news we can't back up with a source or
a fact. I did a few Google searches and uncovered the marriage record posted
on the internet last night, so that essentially confirmed the other source.
At that point, there was only the slimmest of chances that it was different
person. A couple of details weren't precisely the same as our source had
given us, but all the big details were verified...specifically that Kathy
Crabb got married in Clark County, Nevada...so I posted the facts we did
know for absolute certain last night and went to bed.

By the time I got up this morning, Sogospelnews.com had verified it is the
Kathy Crabb of the Crabb Family.

By the way, here is the groom's photo:
http://www.century21.com/meet/office_detail_agent.aspx?pk=-1&sa_key=10277088&office_key=10007154

It was basically one of those situations where you ask yourself, "Do I sit
on this and wait for them to issue a press statement saying what we already
know (which I've seen drag on for days in some cases), or do I publish what
I know to be true and let the rest of the details come out on their own?"

That's the biggest question. I'd think it dishonest to post that "Kathy
Crabb" was married in Vegas if it's not the SG Kathy Crabb. At least wait
until you know for sure what you're talking about.

It's almost as bad as that Duke Lacrosse story. The season canceled,
students tried and hung by the media, and now we know that forensic evidence
seems to disprove the allegations. That and the accuser was passed out
drunk...

I hate to say this, newsguys, but I hope for your sakes that the Kathy Crabb
in question is the one you're suggesting it is.

No. I think the biggest question is:
What is the scandal about getting married in Vegas?
This whole thing has been presented as a cloak and dagger investigation.
"After a little investigating" etc.
So, DBM and Chuck, what is the scoop on this?
Can't be just a normal wedding of two people in love with all this cloak and
dagger stuff.

KATHY CRABB MARRIES STEVE HANNAH
The Crabb Family office has confirmed that group manager Kathy Crabb
and a Nashville area real estate agent, Steve Hannah, were married in a
private ceremony in Las Vegas this past weekend.

Kathy and Steve, reportedly, flew to Nevada early in the weekend,..
tied the knot,.. then returned to Tennessee in time to attend church
Sunday morning.. and a Crabb Family concert Sunday afternoon.

According to the CF camp,.. the couple met earlier this year in
Nashville,.. they will reside in Hendersonville, Tn.

[chuck...@sglive365.com]

There is no "cloak and dagger" stuff here... it's only what people read
into it. I said "after a little investigating".. would you rather I
said.. "after Dave did an internet search.." What's the big deal?

I have talked with the CF people.. and they have no problem with our
handling of this news item. They got married.. May god bless them!
...end of story? Probably not.. but that's alI am reporting...
everyone else will add the junk they want.

Chuck

[Jr.]

LOL!!

There's no cloak and dagger. It's just that I don't print any more or less
than I know to be true. The first story as you read it on my blog tells you
exactly what I was at liberty to say at that time. The official information
Chuck received from the Crabb Family office now verifies that every thing I
said WAS true, down to the last detail and it's posted right above my
original story on my blog.

Here's what you can get into sometimes, though, and we've seen this happen.
A story will break just as a rumor. No one will check into any facts or
verify anything, but the rumors will fly back and forth for weeks. No
credible news source will say a word...(can we say Kingsmen? can we say
Bishops?).

Now, in my opinion, a little "investigative reporting" goes a long way
towards clearing the air. Singing News has traditionally never done any sort
of investigative reporting and they have their reasons for this, but that
shouldn't stop other news sources in SG from doing investigative reporting.

I'm not saying the Crabb Family would have issued a "no comment" on this.
They've always been pretty forthcoming with news...I'm just saying there
have been times in the past when stories regarding OTHER groups were allowed
to become bigger messes than they would have been if they had just told
their fans what was going on and let the chips fall where they may.

This, in my opinion, is the key difference between reporting the news and
simply regurgitating the press releases groups send to news agencies
whenever they get good and ready. That's the type of news reporting Chuck
and I are trying to do. Chuck had already sent emails to the Crabb Family
requesting an official word from them. Once I found the marriage record on
the internet, I went ahead and broke the story and then Chuck followed up
with the official confirmation as soon as he got it from the Crabbs.

[Jr.]

Yes, but I am sure someone here will make something of them running away to
Vegas to get married.
They always do. LOL

I'm certainly not going to add any "junk" but I will ask the obvious
question, "Wasn't this a bit quick?"

Wasn't one of them - already - married!?

So, Chuck, what everyone else, but you, have to say is considered junk?

[p1t...@yahoo.com]

Hmm, it seems to me that Las Vegas is a fitting place to start a
marriage with someone you have known less than 4 months......

Ouch...

I don't know much about the Crabbs... But wasn't she already
married!?

[bethjo...@bellsouth.net]

Do you think she'll keep "Crabb" as her last name... yikes!

[buggirl]

I hope not! How tacky would that be?

[p1t...@yahoo.com]

Don't know if she was married before Gerald, but she had children. To
my limited knowledge, she and Gerald didn't have any children
together.....someone else may know otherwise.

[bethjo...@bellsouth.net]

No they didn't have children together according to the 700 Club
interview last year. She had Krystal and Kelly and he had the
others... kinda a Brady Bunch thing...

Someone posted on another board - before they were all deleted...that
Gerald was engaged. I noticed on his website a photo of he and a
woman... but not sure... Craziness...

I just wonder how the kids deal with all of this. They have to be
bombarded with questions every night about "Where's Gerald?"

[Snowy]

bethjosh2,

you said...I just wonder how the kids deal with all of this.

I can imagine the pain and heartache they live with everyday.

[Allan]

!? I really shouldn't ask - it always turns out even worse than I
expected.

[TommyDale]

I always thought the boys and Terah were Gerald and Kathy's children,
and Kelly and Crystal were Kathy's from her previous marriage.

[Carol LeFevre]

Well, I am totally confused but that is understandable since I don't
follow the Crabb family. Can someone explain who's who? Is Gerald the
Dad? Who is Kathy, his first, second, third wife?? Or is it, Who's on
first and What's on second and.......makes about as much sense.

[TommyDale]

Gerald Crabb is the dad, the current songwriter of all songwiters. He
was married to Kathy, who had two daughters from a previous marriage.
I don't know about Gerald's previous marriage (if any) but I see he
pastored several Church of God churches, so I would hesitate to make a
statement without knowing all the facts. I couldn't care less,
actually. I just think the APPEARANCE of this thread gives an
impression of something was amiss.

Here is Gerald's website: http://www.geraldcrabb.net/

There has been so much told that you could easily get confused.
Recently I read where
Gerald's kids had "disowned him" but if you look at his photographs
taken just a couple weeks ago, his kids look like they're okay with
their dad.

[Allan]

Yep - it *would* be comical if it wasn't so sad.
