I for one love mixed groups and trios. I love Austin's Bridge and Crossway. Mcrae's as well. Annie grew up real close to me. like a few miles away.
as for hairstyles well, I go against the grain(((not cause as bald))) but I don't fit the normal mold. My Pastor here preaches a lot of times in sandals and a dress shirt and jeans((even seen him preach one sunday in jeans and a tshirt. and well, Church avg.'s about 700 a service on Sunday morning. so we do pretty good. sandals u say, well don't let the sandal's fool ya brother. hehehehe.
honestly, God in my opinion isnt looking at your clothes((unless just absolutely immodest)) but at your heart.

You mentioned some of my current favorite artists when you mentioned CrossWay, Austins Bridge, Mike & Kelly Bowling and Lordsong. I really enjoy the modern country sounds of CrossWay and Austins Bridge. Mike & Kelly are keeping that Hinson music alive and Lordsong is really in a league of their own when talking about harmony.
*Mike & Kelly Bowling's current hit "Your Cries Have Awoken The Master" is my current favorite song.

Its an age thing for the most part. I like the Traditional look and sound and I am older and have followed SG music all my life. The younger like more "non traditional dress and hair". It carries over to the P&W music in churches vs. the hymns and whether they should be "on the wall" or not. There needs to be another genre (sp) called something other then "Southern", or maybe that term should be eliminated because it confuses some folks. What I don't like is when new groups show their publicity pictures and try to look "mean" with sloppy clothes, and wrinkled up faces. These groups usually don't last long, but reach a few people during their existance. I can appreciate Lordsong for their musical QUALITY and good song selections. I have heard some of Austin's Bridge and there are some good singers there, however their appeal will be only to a younger set and that is apparently what they want. I wouldn't drive to see them though. I do believe that all gospel music fans need to work on understanding each other's tastes. I can try to appreciate your music if you can try to appreciate mine. I can try to understand P&W music if you can try to appreciate hymns.

I have to disagree with several parts of your post.
I am I guess middle of the rung((36)) but my dad just turned 69 this year. He is more the traditional suit/tie/hair just right and all. But I think he loves Austin's Bridge and Crossway about as much as I do. Their music does not appeal to only the younger set.
I love Praise and Worship and I love Hymns equally.
I havent seen any pics with wrinkled faces, have seen some with pics other than suits, and if saw my earlier post well, I go against the grain on the suit thing. I kinda see it the way my Pastor does. Jesus wore sandals. and as the song by Triumphant Qt says((and is hard to find a more traditional group than them)) Don't Let The Sandals Fool Ya Brother

It is all a matter of taste. I do believe that if we all respect each other and try to understand why a certain artist appeals to us and not to others and vice versa then we're ok. I really don't agree with the age thing either. Again, it comes down to personal tastes in music. My mother is an avid Southern Gospel music supporter. She saw the Blackwood Bros. w/ JD Sumner and The Speers when Mom and Dad were still traveling (so she supports the traditional side of Southern Gospel music). But, she also enjoys modern groups like CrossWay and Crabb Revival.

Southern Gospel was built on 4-part harmony, but with that said, I also like trios, mixed or otherwise, very much. As for dress, I think there is something nice and honoring about suits, matching or sport coat ensembles, but again I like the artists who dress more casually, too. Basically, if the music is good and the spirit is good, then I am good.

I am one of those "really cool" moms who loves the traditional quartets but I really love going to concerts featuring CrossWay, the Crabb kids, and other somewhat less traditional ones also. I have not seen Austins Bridge in concert yet, but their CD is probably the one that gets most play in my van. I respect everyone's right to like a different style of music than what I like. Like my Dad used to say, "if we all liked the same thing, all men would want to marry the same woman." I am so glad there is a variety out there so each of us can find what it is that we want to support.
