Spring 2010 - What’s Up With FQ? I have read in the “Singing News Magazine” that 2010 is the one hundredth anniversary of Southern Gospel music. Of the thousands of groups that have sung about the Good News of Jesus Christ, we realize that the Foundation Quartet, with it’s almost twenty years of history, isn’t a huge part of the story. We are, however, proud to continue the tradition that makes up this musical heritage. I came across a great definition of heritage some time ago. I keep it on a sticky note on my desk. It says that heritage is history with a future. Today much of our musical history seems to be downplayed and pushed aside, which makes its future look bleak. If you are fortunate enough to attend the National Quartet Convention, our Midwest Convention, or watch any of Gaither’s Homecoming events or videos, you know that it is anything but bleak. Many new groups and many of the old ones have young and talented “kids” just getting started in this ministry. In 2010 and as far into the future as the Lord allows, the Foundation Quartet will continue the heritage of Southern Gospel Music in our little niche. We hope that you will be a part of this year’s ministry by attending some of our concerts, sharing the Good News by giving our CD’s to friends that you know would be blessed by them, and telling others to check us out on our website to get to know us. The Lord, of whom we sing, and you, our Gospel Music friends, are the reasons this ministry continues. We are looking forward to seeing your smiling faces again and meeting new friends where we’ve never sung before. Check our schedule, find a concert near you, and bring friends. We’ll see you there!
