As concert time was approaching, I overheard their conversation. The Ms. turned to her husband and said. “This year don’t go and get me anything for Christmas. I don’t need clothes, jewelry, shoes or anything like that. Don’t need anything for the house. So just don’t go hunting!†The Mr. turned back to his wife and said, “But honey I want to show you how much I love you! I gotta get you something.â€
Their conversation went on for a couple of minutes, back and forth. Looking a bit dejected the Mr. said “are you sure there is nothing you want?†The Ms. was quiet for a moment. She leaned into him and said…YOU! He chuckled and then the Ms. said, “You brought me here tonight. You know how much I love gospel music!”

As we talked it came about the older groups in gospel music. I mentioned to them about a convention of gospel music enthusiasts that have a convention in Nashville, TN. The group is the Facebook group-WE LOVE OUR SOUTHERN GOSPEL MUSIC HISTORY. It’s a two day event and features some historic artists that still brings excitement to the stage.
The WE LOVE OUR SOUTHERN GOSPEL MUSIC HISTORY GROUP (WLOSGMH) is a Facebook community that evolved as like-minded people saw a need to tell the history, to share photos, those “you should have been there†stories, facts, collectibles, memorabilia and more importantly teach the history of southern gospel music. There is some good debate on talents and contributions as the group covers the full spectrum of southern gospel music from artists to promoters, songwriters with radio and TV programming personalities.
In two and a half years over 36,000 gospel music fans have joined this history community. Much of the history comes from personal experiences and relationships of group members. Yet under the guidance of WLOSGMH Facebook administrators Harold Timmons, Ann Downing, John Crenshaw and Hannah Kennedy the group remains focused on history, sharing of music, photos and history. With constant care, the page remains focused to the vision of providing a place to share and keep the history alive.
The Holiday Inn Nashville Airport serves as convention headquarters. Lodging, food, merchandise area, convention gathering rooms and lots of music friends will meet March 21 and 22, 2016 to create new memories and share in their loved southern gospel history and music.
So this year if you are looking for the perfect out of the box gift that will delight and keep you clapping your hands, pattin’ your feet while creating new memories surrounded by gospel music history and legends, then give the Nashville getaway to the WLOSGMH Convention March 21-22, 2016.
