[Faith-talk] Christian Music History

[Joshua Lester]

The first Southern Gospel quartet was founded in 1910, by James D Vaun.
As far as the Blackwood Brothers, Jimmy, (James's son,) is keeping the
group going.
All of their music is here.

The Chuckwagon Gang is still singing, as well.
If you listen to WSM, AM 650, next sunday morning, 12 AM central, you
can hear them on the Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree.
You can listen to WSM, on the Internet.

Blessings, Joshua
