NQC Highlights 2014: Day 4
It was great to see Matt Felts sing with the Lesters. Brian said this was only his fifth time to sing with them but he did a great job. They included their signature song, “He Didn’t Throw the Clay Away”
The Whisnants sang “New Day Dawning,” which they have sung at every NQC I have attended or watched online. In my opinion, NQC would not be complete without that song. Dean and Kim Hopper joined in on the last chorus.
I could have cried when Connie Hopper came on stage to sing, “I’ve Come Too Far.” She is one person I would love to get to know: the epitome of class and grace and sincerity. I am so grateful for God’s healing touch on her once again. I hope He leaves her with us for a long time yet. She hadn’t sung in about six weeks but I couldn’t tell. She did great. They ended with a chorus of “Jerusalem.”
I enjoyed getting to see Freedom since I’ve never seen them in concert. Unfortunately, they only sang one song. The group consists of John Rulapaugh, Dale Shipley, Preston Garner, and Burman Porter.
I always love to see Archie Watkins and Smoky Mountain Reunion perform. The highlight of their set was Eddie Dietz singing, “I Just Want to Thank You, Lord.”
Gold City sang, “I’m Rich,” another song which is sung every year but a fan favorite.
It was really nice to see The Mylon Hayes Family. Great sound and stage presence. I hope to hear more of them in the future.
The Mark Trammell Quartet sang mostly new songs, making me want to check out their latest CD. It sounds really good.
I loved Legacy Five’s set. They ended with “He Made a Change.” Ernie Haase joined them on the last chorus.
I also really enjoyed Old Paths. They tore the house down with “Long Live the King.”
The Perrys were outstanding as always. A great set tonight. They ended with “If You Knew Him.”
Tribute was the last group to perform.
