Greetings from sunny Florida! Today, the annual Jubilee At Sea sets sail for the Bahamas with over 1,500 Southern Gospel music fans, artists and other industry personnel. On the list of artists you'll find on board the m/s Celebration are the Mark Trammell Trio, the Primitive Quartet, the Perrys, Karen Peck & New River, the Dixie Melody Boys, Brian Free & Assurance, the Tribute Quartet, the Whisnants, Jeff & Sheri Easter, the Pfeifers and dozens more.

During the next five days, we'll visit Freeport, Nassau and Half Moon Cay before returning to Jacksonville early Saturday a.m.

In the meantime, I'll be out and about snapping a few photos here and there to share with you later. If service permits, I'll try to post them during the week ... but we'll see how that goes.

Those of you who are subscribers of Singing News magazine should be on the look-out for your March 2007 issue. The cover features one of the most celebrated groups in Southern Gospel music and you might even find a few surprises found with the issues' pages.

And just so you'll know, Mark Trammell has been whistling the tune of "Gilligan's Island" today. If I wind up marooned on an island somewhere...
