Signature Sound-What's Up??
JLBURGZ
Garry Jones. No explanations given at all. Wesley Pritchard sang Lead and
another guy played piano(no introduction given) Obviously something BIG brewing
here!

to conclusions just yet.
Don't forget, Garry Jones is a co-owner of the group and Shane is the owner
of another group.

True, but it always comes across as fishy when there's no mention of why a
current group member is missing. Maybe they did explain, but this guy just
wasn't in the room at the time or something.
Do we know JLBURGZ? I don't remember seeing anyone post with that name
before.
One thing's for sure. We'll know next week, won't we?

Scratch my previous reply. I just heard that Shane and Garry are no longer
with the group. (My source for the info has always been reliable in the
past.) What a stinkin' bummer! I never got to hear them live. I was looking
forward to next Tuesday night, too.

It has been told to me that both members are no longer with the group.
I am not sure the circumstances, but I know it is permanent. I have
never heard them, but I am sure they are awesome.

DANG! This is pretty rotten news. I never got to hear them live either. I
was really excited that Garry Jones was back performing and had his mitts
into the music and arranging those voices. Everybody who heard them seemed
to think they were the best thing to come along in quite awhile. Hopefully
........ *sighs*....... DANG!

I didn't get any details at all on why they did or didn't leave. I just
heard that they aren't with the group anymore. I keep hoping it's not true
as well, but usually when you start hearing these things from multiple
directions, it is. Couple that with the fact that they've had an appearance
where they pretended like Shane and Garry didn't exist. I mean really . . .
if they're gone, they're gone. Tell the fans up front before the rumor mill
has a chance to crank up. If they're only out sick, tell that so the rumor
mill won't crank up.
From all reports, though, looks like they're gone.
Dunlap won't necessarily be a tremendous loss. Don't misunderstand. He's a
great singer. I'm only saying that because good lead singer replacements are
easier to find than any other part. They'll still be possibly losing that
great chemistry they had with Dunlap. However, the loss of Jones could
affect them in a major way. If they're seen as unstable and their next
project is made with less production budget or maybe with a producer that's
not quite up to snuff, they could go into a slide.

First of all, who is David Griffith? That name sounds familiar.
Secondly, I agree with David's earlier post. Shane is a big loss, but
can be replaced. Jones is the big deal. As Ernie said at their concert
in Seymour, IN: "Gary Jones, in many ways, IS the Signature Sound
Quartet."

great quartet, such as The Cathedrals you cannot ruin it even by adding
Scott Fowler to it. So, no matter who they add as lead, it should still be a
great quartet.
Hmmm. Then again, look what happened to Gold City when they added Tim's kid
at baritone.
Oh well, we will just have to wait and see.

Hate to burst your bubble. When was the last time you heard Gold
City? I heard them last Thursday and the were the best that I
have ever seen them. Granted this was a live performance. Also,
Tim was not with them. They were very loose and relaxed. Makes
you wonder if he clamps down too hard, especially on Jonathan.

If they are civil enough to do a final performance together at NQC, maybe
Jones will continue as their producer via Cathedral Records. So, who would
you like to see in Jones' place at keys? Me . . . I'd like to see them
surprise us and get someone from outside the genre, like John Tesh, maybe .

If they're civil enough to do a final performance together at NQC, maybe
Jones will continue to be their producer via Cathedral Records. If not,
maybe they can get Wayne Haun, Nick Bruno, Michael Sykes, Lari Goss or even
go outside the typical SG world of producers to get a more aggressive
quartet sound.
So, who would you like to see in Jones' place at keys? Me . . . I'd like to
see them surprise us and get someone from outside the genre, like John Tesh,
maybe . . . or Bruce Hornsby . . . I'm not holding my breath. :o)
More likely, I think they're top of the line enough to grab someone like
Josh Singletary or Stewart Varnado from an existing group. Jerry Kelso would
be good also. He can't be making much money with Ed Enoch now. Don't be
surprised if they go more for a studio type player, though. I'd love to see
someone like Art Bain or Milton Smith hit the road.

By that are you meaning the musical style or the cult type of worship?
John Tesh makes Christian music. We just got in his _Deeper Faith, Vol. 2_
today, and there's no doubt about what he's selling in terms of religion.

His Red Rock special on PBS was full of new age references spoken by him.
I have two of his Christmas CD's and they are great but I would not be ready
to put him into a SG quartet just yet until I heard his testimony. His
spoken message that I have heard is unclear as to which way he believes.
Much of it is universalistic in nature.

Hey, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I don't know how much weight your

That Red Rocks project came out quite a few years ago, though. Everything
he's done in the last three or four years has been pretty focused on
Christianity with a clear gospel message. I haven't heard his spoken
testimony either, but judging by the music he makes, there's nothing in his
recent material that I would have any problem promoting. I'm pretty sure I
read in an interview one time that he used to be hesitant about sharing his
faith, but now he's more outspoken about it. That may be why he made bland
universal type statements in the past . . . I don't know.
The new CD is not one I'm going to purchase, because it's pretty generic
sounding Praise and Worship music that we've heard a million times before. I
did get his last Christmas CD, though, and have enjoyed it.
I like some of his older music, but don't consider it to be gospel music. I
would call it "new age" music, as well, but I seperate the musical style
from the religion when I say that. Some Christian musicians have made music
that is a "new age" in style.
Of course, I was completely joking about Tesh ever joining SSQ. He already
has enough star power going that he'd have no reason to go looking for a job
like that.

Yes, they have. The press release has been posted here. Not only that, a
link has been posted to an interview with Ernie Haase that goes into much
greater depth about why the split came about.

discussed the direction of the ministry back in June.
They felt like Paul and Timothy after the meeting. Both feel they have a
ministry but it is taking them in different directions.
Garry and Shane will form another quartet and Ernie has already named his
new lead singer in another post on this board.

So we can assume he's either incapable of cohesive logical thought in this
area, or he's a troll. It's pointless trying to communicate on a rational
level with either of those types. His original statement obviously had no
basis in fact, just typical brain fart spew, so what do you think he'd ever
respond to your question?

It's called a comparison . . . not an exact duplication of the earlier
situation. In any comparison, there are also contrasts . . . areas where the
two situations do not match.
Still, it's very broad to suggest that Ernie Haase and Garry Jones have not,
at some point in time, ministered to others through their careers. It just
becomes more and more clear that you have absolutely nothing specific to
say.

Amen to that. I would say that Ernie Haase & many other singers out
there feel called of God to do this Ministry. And it IS a ministry
just as being called to the mission field is a ministry.
I do understand that there are those in gospel music(in general)
who are there to make money but many feel called of God to do what
they are doing.
