Guess Who

As we all know, gospel singers travel a lot of miles and apparently,
some of us get bored from time to time. This beautiful rendition of
“God Is Great, Good and Merciful” was left on my cell phone’s voice
mail not long ago by one of my fellow artists…see if you can guess
who the mystery singer is.

    Tim Duncan? Mike Allen? Tracy Stuffle?

    Some of the falsetto sounds like a bass singer sounds when he’s faking the tenor part as part of an onstage skit.

    Michael Booth. Why? He was fun on the plane back from Norway and I swore I heard this song while he was trying to find his ‘concert’ voice backstage last month(OK, maybe not).

    Well Lauren, That HAS to be Michael Booth, or Pee-Wee Herman has your cell phone number. Only Michael Booth would do something like that. I’m just glad there were no animals in the house when I played that. Some of the neighbor’s dogs might have started howling though. He sounded like he might have had the mother of all head colds when he recorded that. He could have been under the influence of NyQuil, which might explain why he left that on your cell phone. He’s kinda like Southern Gospel’s Forest Gump. Like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get!:)

    I have to go with Michael Booth as well, but I cannot really tell for sure.

    P.S. Lauren have you ever considered recording a cd with Kirk, I think it would be an excellent cd because you two sing beautifully together. Just an idea I have had for a while.

    Hey Lauren,

    I am Lee Ann and I saw you about 10 years ago. I am 29 years old and my mother had taken me to one of your concerts. My friend and I were talking and she had asked me if I knew who Lauren Talley was? I was like who? She gave me a video to watch of The Broken Ones and I messaged her back and said I know her! I saw her 10 years ago! I told her that your name didn’t ring a bell, but I never forget a face. You have grown up so much hun. Wow, I feel extremely old. lol. Have a great evening! God Bless.

    Sincerely,
    Lee Ann

    It has been awful quiet out in Talley land lately. I think our ring leaders are still letting us chew on the last question posted. Everybody’s waiting for Lauren to reveal to us who the Pee-Wee Herman impersonator is that left her that message.:) I think they’re afraid to get everybody going on the football thing again. It’s easy to get carried away on that one.

    Hey Lauren, Who are you guys picking out of the final four in the playoffs now that Indy and the Titans are out of it for the season? I’m sure you guys are catching tidbits of the games here and there between concerts since everything is pretty much happening on Sundays when you have to work.

    Hi everyone, We are still awake and still here, haha. We have had a new post ready for several days with the big reveal:), but we’re having some technical difficulties getting it on here for you to see. Sorry for the delay. We have some exciting things going on and coming up soon. One tidbit I can give you– we have a brand new official website ready to be unveiled. It has so many new features, and we can’t wait for you to see it. If all goes well, it will go online tomorrow. The address is http://www.talleytrio.com/ SO check it out. It has all the dates for our 10 day “western tour which begins Friday 1/23 in Ft. Smith, AR. We hope to see many of you on this trip or somewhere very soon. Thanks for reading, posting, and “talking amongst yourselves” when we’re away. God Bless!!

    You guys had everyone wondering if everything was ok Roger. I was wondering myself. I was wondering if you might be in playoff mourning after the last Titans game. We’re all going through that in Maryland right now. Everybody seemed to be so somber at work today. Oh well, that’s how it goes. Come on NASCAR season! I regards to Louise’s question it’s 17 degrees here in Maryland right now according to Weatherbug. That’s pretty good compared to Saturday. It was colder than an Eskimo Pie here Saturday. It was minus 2 degrees when I left to go to work early Saturday. I actually didn’t make it to work. The cold finished off my Truck battery and I started having problems about 10 minutes from the house. I don’t think I ever remember it getting that cold in this part of Maryland before. We got some snow today.

    I forgot something. Roger, I was flipping through the gallery and saw that photo of you with that frying pan the size of a manhole cover. That looked like enough food to feed a village. I hope you were sharing some of that with Debra or Lauren. KIDDING! :) I also saw the photo of you and Sue Dodge. I didn’t know you produced her work. My Sister Susan and Brother-in-law Tim are good friends with Sue and Amos. Tim is a Foursquare pastor also. I think Tim is in the same district as Amos.
