Gold City News

Gold City email newsletter of February 11, 2013:

It’s been a great couple of weeks for Gold City. Since we last updated you, we’ve sang at TBN in Hendersonville, TN, Soddy Daisy, TN, McDonald TN, and took a trip to Palmetto, FL, where we sang once again for one of gospel music’s best promoters, Bill Bailey at his Winter Concert. We were with our friends, the Mark Trammell Quartet, The Freemans, Tony Gore, and Jeff and Sheri Easter. From there, we had two concerts each in GA and AL before heading the bus toward Jacksonville, FL to board a ship, which is where we will be for the next week on Templeton Tour’s Singing At Sea cruise to the Bahamas. Danny, Jerry, and Chuck will each have some of their family on the cruise, so this will make for a special time.

DID YOU CATCH US ON TV?

The concert at TBN mentioned above was a special tribute to songwriters that the Southern Gospel Music Guild produced for that television station. Gold City sang two songs that night–"Peter James and John" to honor songwriter Dianne Wilkinson and "I’m Not Giving Up" by Squire Parsons, another honoree of the evening. The show aired for the first time last Friday night, February 8th, but will be rebroadcast at other times. Check the station’s website, www.tbn.org for further broadcast information.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY

Gold City could not do what they do without the love and support of our wives, who are just as much a part of this ministry as we are. Without their sacrifices and their blessing for us to leave out each week, we could not pursue our calling, share our music and minister the gospel to a lost and dying world. We hope we show it more often than this one day, but especially on Valentine’s Day, we want to say to Barbara Riley, Holly Riley, Micki Pelfrey, Kelly Elliott, and Anjeanette Howe we love and appreciate you very much!

CHANGES

Most of you know by now, Dan Keeton announced his departure a few weeks ago to pursue his life-long dream of starting a non-profit agency for childhood victims of abuse. So, we’ve been sifting through all sorts of applications and audition mp3 files to locate a new tenor. We do not have any announcement to make at the present time, but those of you who seeing Gold City in the next couple of weeks will be seeing and hearing a new face and voice on stage. Robert Fulton is riding the bus for a while with us during our transition period. He’s got an amazing voice with a super high range. We’re not sure what fans are going to love more–his musical ability or his great personality. You decide while he’s visiting on the Gold City bus for a while as our tenor search winds down.

CHECK US OUT IN SINGING NEWS MAGAZINE

The February issue of Singing News has hit the newsstand. You can read a Valentine’s tribute to our wives on page 3. On page 46, our trip to Times Square Church in New York City is chronicled, complete with photos of this beautiful and historic place.

DANNY’S FAVORITE QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations." -Chuck Swindoll

THIS WEEK

Gold City will be on the Singing At Sea cruise from Feb. 11-15 this week, but we will keep you updated on all the latest news via Facebook. Make sure you "like" our page, "Gold City Quartet" today! Have a great week!

Ernie Haase and StowTown Records Present New Single by Beyond The Ashes, "Living In The Moment"

Living In The Moment

Hello My Friends,

Read this quote slowly and let the words sink in:

“Be reverent before the dawning day. Do not think of what will be in a year,
or in ten years. Think of to-day.” – Romain Rolland

I love that quote! I know how hard it is to take your mind off of the future or off of the past. Trust me, I REALLY do! I read great quotes and Bible verses all the time to keep me focused. One tool, more than anything else, has been a new song I can’t stop listening to. It’s called “Living In The Moment”.

I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce you not only to this song, but also to the newest StowTown Records artist, Beyond The Ashes. Their debut project is the newest project Wayne Haun and I have been producing for the StowTown label. It is called “Living In The Moment.” (Recorded at my request, of course. :) )

This song is a great resource. As a matter of fact, their whole album is just amazing! You are going love it. The release date for this project is March 5, 2013.


Remember, take a moment to live and glory in the day that the Lord has made for YOU. Yesterday is the PAST; the future, a PONDER; right now a PRESENT! Rejoice and be glad in His presence TODAY! Psalm 118:24

Think of it this way …

If this life is one act
Why do we lay all these traps
We put them right in our path
When we just wanna be free 
I will not waste my days
Making up all kinds of ways
To worry about all the things
That will not happen to me 
So I just let go of what I know I don't know
And I know I only do this by

Living in the moment
Living my life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
I got peace in my heart
Got peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going,
I'm already home
I'm living in the moment
(Lyrics from the song “Living In The Moment”)

Living in the moment is a healthy way to be at your best for the calling God has placed within your grasp. Good Spiritual health includes mental health, too, you know. Your attitude is everything!

So enjoy the song(s) and get to know our new friends Beyond The Ashes. If you feel lead, share this with someone today. You can change a life and someone’s world with music. I truly believe that from the core of my soul.

Living In The Moment!
Ernie

About Steven Lawson

Steven grew up in a small town in the hills of West Virginia,where at the young age of eight it was inevitable that he was destined to sing. During his early years, you could find him playing piano and singing every Sunday with members of his family's church.

He joined the legendary “Calvary Echoes” headed by the inspiring songwriter Conrad Cooke. After his season there, Steven found himself on a tour bus with one of gospel music's premier quartets,The Dixie Melody Boys, where he sang for two years.

Steven then formed his own group, The Royal Heirs. While Steven managed The Royal Heirs, he encouraged and promoted the talents of many young artists who are singing and performing today.

Over the course of Steven's music career he has been blessed to be a part of church services and gospel concerts with many of today's top Christian artists including, The Perrys, The Wilburns, Dottie Rambo, Gold City, The Singing Cookes, and many others.
