NQC 2005 Coverage - A Mixed Bag
Saturday, September 17, 2005
The 2005 NQC is nearing completion and with that comes the end of a hectic schedule for many artists and industry members. For example, I bounced from one showcase to another, spoke at the Southern Gospel Promoters Association Breakfast, filmed several bits with INSP for future programming, did several radio interviews with members of the media that are in town for the event and so on. Mind you, I'm not complaining - but it sure did cut down on the available time for things like sharing these photos!
These photos are from the camera of Dean Muz, who writes Canadian Connection for Singing News every month. Check out the view in Dean's lens.....
No, this is not a scene from a scary Hollywood movie, nor is it a nightmare that occurs after eating too much spicy food. This is Tim Lovelace preparing to umpire the celebrity softball game.
It was good to see Steve "Rabbit" Easter at the 2005 NQC. He made several guests appearances on the NQC stage, playing a wide variety of instruments.

Okay, I'm just wondering here....is Kreis French (Kingdom Heirs) asleep? I know it's a long tiring week, but..........
