John Crenshaw, noted gospel music historian, will be teaming with Charlie Waller of the Grand Ole Gospel Reunion to bring a monthly gospel music history lesson to the world wide web.
Mr. Waller and Mr. Crenshaw have enjoyed a long association with each other through the Grand Ole Gospel Reunion, so it was only natural that this monthly column be featured on the Grand Ole Gospel Reunion web site. Web master Alan Kendall has been working overtime to make this endeavor an initial success.
Crenshaw has been a frequent contributor to many gospel music publications including the Singing News. He most recently has been a staff writer for Southern Gospel News with his monthly SG History 101 articles. He has been a contributor to "The Gospel Greats" and "Heritage and Legacy of Gospel Music" radio programs and has also contributed to several books about the recorded history of gospel music.
Mr. Waller says, "John has been a help to me at the Grand Ole Gospel Reunion for many years, and I'm glad to have him join with me in the project to keep the history of gospel music alive."
The anticipated launch date for the new site is November 1. Be sure to follow the links at http://www.grandolegospelreunion.com for all the details.

Good luck John...we'll miss you as a staff member here...but I am honored to call you my friend.
Hey John,
I know that I am just one of many who enjoyed John's informative articles that appeared here each month. I'm sure that he has expanded the knowledge base of SG fans through his extensive research. Thanks for keeping the legacy of good ol' gospel music alive.

John, you can't just leave me uninformed about Southern Gospel History. Where should I go, and who should I go to?
Congratualtions to John, on his new endeavor.
Don't be discouraged though, A History article will continue on this web site also.

Melvin, While we wish John all the best at Grand Ole Gospel Reunion, and we will be visiting him there ourselves, SG History 101 will continue here at SoGospelNews. Be watching November 1.
Thank you all for your kind words. I certainly have appreciated the opportunity that Southern Gospel News has afforded me to share about these pioneers of the past. It has become a monthly labor of love.
God's blessings on your new endeavor ...
John's knowledge of gospel music is incredible. I have known him since he was a teenager, and I never cease to be amazed how much he knows about things that occurred before he was even born.
John, I have been a fan of yours for a long time. Having been a "gospel singer and pianist for about 59 years, I know or have met most of the people you write about. I still enjoy reading about the "old-timers". Keep up the good work. Jimi
