There was a time when the need for "community" pulled folks from their homes to country churches for worship and fellowship. Today, we are crowded into cities, surrounded by stimulation, and bombarded by noise. Yet, we are often no closer to each other than we were our pioneer ancestors. Now, more than ever, we need community, fellowship, and a place to turn our hearts toward the things that last forever.
If the Homecoming Friends look like they're having fun on the :What A time!" video, they are! Packed into this 90-minute video we featured artists Jonathan Wilburn, gold City, Jake Hess, David Phelps, Eva Mae LeFevre, James Blackwood, Ivan Parker, Ann Downing, the Reggie Saddler Family, and the Pfiefers, just to name a few. The Crabb Family make their big debut with "Please Forgive Me" while the Lewis Family perform a tune - "this Flight That Is Leavin' Soon" - that's guaranteed tp make everyone a bluegrass lover. Another bright moment is "Scatter Sunshine" featuring the trio of Woody Wright, Jeanne Johnson and Stephen Hill. Also included us a real show-stopper, Anthony Burger's piano medley of "Great Is Thy Faithfulness," "How Big Is God" and "How Great Thou Art."

Himself, The Cathedrals
"The Cathedrals: A Farewell Celebration" captures this legendary group during one of their finest - and most emotional - hours. This video was taped at a live concert in the Ryman Auditorium on the Nashville stop of the group's 1999 farewell tour. The farewell celebration, hosted by Bill Gaither, attracted some of the biggest names in gospel music. Shown paying musical tribute to the Cathedrals are the Statler Brothers, the Oak Ridge Boys, Sandi Patty, Guy Penrod and others.

You'd recognize the sound anywhere - the rich, deep bass voice, the clear resonating lead singer, the close 4-part harmonies, the excitement that only a Southern Gospel Quartet can create. Put it all together and you have the Cathedrals, probably the best-known gospel quartet. The sound of the group has always been woven around the two creators of the group, Glen Payne - lead, and George Younce - the bass. [Bill Gaither]
