Singers Of Southern Gospel Music

[prophet1]

Yes, can you clarify what you mean by this, prophet?

Yes, the daytime programming on our local Christian Radio Station is a grunge/goth whining style that I can't stand.

I can't relate to those emotions.

But in the middle of the night, some station plays old sermons, and such.

Anishinaabe

[heartstrings]

Are the Smoky Mountain Hymns series considered Southern Gospel? Because I like that. 

The only ones I've heard were Bluegrass.

[heartstrings]

Here is one done with dulcimers.......

[2bLikeJesus]

I have that album as well and really enjoy it. 

[heartstrings]

Makes me want to get my mountain dulcimer out and play it.

One of the easiest stringed instruments to learn.

That and the autoharp (I have a 21 chord Oscar Schmidt)

[heartstrings]

We have one too. It hasn't been played it in a long time.

[honebee873]

I would love to play a guitar or something like it! I just wasn't blessed with that talent though. :/ I would rather sing and let someone else play for me, but when I don't have anyone else, I play the piano. In my older years I struggle with doing two things at once lol

If you really want to do it, you're already halfway there.

Extremely rare is the individual who can't learn to play an instrument to a moderate level of acceptability.

Extremely common is the individual who doesn't put the necessary work into doing so.

 

Contrary to what many believe, it is also true of singing.

[2bLikeJesus]

There is no way I could ever learn to play an instrument or by any stretch of the imagination, sing.  I am tone deaf, and unable to match a sound by tone to one that is played so I am always off when singing.  I can only sing at a range natural and comfortable for my voice and it that is way way off from everyone else...well then I am making a "joyful noise".  I am also almost completely deaf in my left ear (indistinct buzzing sound only) and therefor that creates issues as well.

I have a great voice and am a wonderful singer, but everything they sing at my church is in the wrong key.

i also suffer with the buzzing sound. Thought it might be tinnitis, but tinnitis is more of a ringing, a reverb, if i understand correctly.

Not sure what the buzzing sound is, but I hear it from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep. It is loudest when I am my tiredest.

[2bLikeJesus]

Mine is not a constant buzzing sound, it is just all that I really hear if I cover my right ear and try to listen to someone talk or music.  If I need to wake up earlier than usual with an alarm then I have to pray my right ear isn't into the pillow or I never hear the alarm until I roll over.  A cordless phone in my house is a disaster because I can't triangulate where a sound is coming from with only one ear.  I hear the phone ring but I couldn't tell you how far away, what direction, or even what room it is ringing in.  I should probably invest in one of those alarm clocks for deaf people that use flashing bright lights or something to wake you.  

 

Of course I never have to worry about sleeping past 7:15 am.  My cat can somehow tell time and if I am late for his daily 7 am feeding he is standing on my chest at 7:15  ready to rip my lips off.

I have constant ringing or whatever it would be called, in both ears, a little louder in the right ear. It's probably tinnitus or something like that. It began in 2008 and hasn't ceased since.

 

When there are other sounds around I can mostly ignore it or not notice it. It's when it's very quiet that it really stands out. I often run a fan because the sound of the fan seems to drown out the buzzing or ringing sound.
