Last night I drove for about 7 hours to get from Tennessee to Mt. Vernon, Texas. A buddy of mine is in a gospel quartet, and while they were down here their bus blew a tire, caught on fire and burned to the ground. Just asking for some prayers for them. They lost pretty much all of their belongings they had on the bus.

is everybody OK?
-
Yeah, everybody made it out fine. Just still in shock.
-
Whats the name of the group? I know most of the guys in that business. Starting touring with my fathers group playing drums when i was 6.
-
:pray
anything I can do?
-
glad to see that at least they're ok.
this is something i'm surprised doesn't happen more often. i see a LOT of church buses in very poor state of repair.
there was one up in pa about 9 or so years ago......they drifted across the road into the path of an 18 wheeler......
any way......be glad they're ok. they can replace their belongings.......they can't replace themselves.
if they need any clothing donations, let us know.......or any other help.

Thanks guys.
Bipolar: the name of the group is the Tribute Gospel Quartet

Maybe it's a sign......

Thanks guys.

Was wondering. Toured with the Ambassadors Quartet In the early 80s. Done some studio work for Mr. JD Sumner of the stamps. And Done some work with Gold City Quartets Brian Free.
Gospel is where I got my start in music. Southern gospel and bluegrass will always be in my blood.
Bill Monroe Father of bluegrass was my cousin. He was a distant cousin. My great grand fathers first cousin.

That's pretty neat, BP. My family is full of gospel singers. My grandfather and aunt are in quartets and my cousins have a really big gospel group.
Update: The guys made it back to TN safely. We just dropped them off at their vehicles, and now we're headed home for some much needed rest.
-
Glad to hear they're alright.
-
Prayers on the way :pray

Do either of you know of a gospel quartet called The Kellys? They are from Lawrenceburg, TN.

That sounds familiar. But, with most gospel groups, the names are used over and over by different people.
Like the group I played for in the 80s as a child "The Ambassadors Quartet". We were the main one.The one that originated in the 30s or 40s, cant remember. But there were several others that used a similar name.
-
Ah yeah just wonderin' it's my girl's dad's group. There is another group with the same name though I believe.
-
Its a good thing they are well versed in the ancient art of "GTFO of trouble"
Shame about their gear, but as they are all ok this is just a :bhead moment.
:pray for their return to music which I hope will be sometime soon!

It was God's will.
-
The ironic thing about the bus:
#1 - The bus's name on the papers was "Risky Business"
#2 - this bus was used by Miley Cirus's band for three years
-
If I had to put up with Miley's crap for three years, I think I would self destruct too.
