Attended a concert by The Dixie Echoes several nights ago and I was pleasantly surprised. They were great and did the entire program with piano and bass. What a pleasure it was to actually hear vocals again and without stacks and tracks. The music was real and very clean.

Thank you Dixie Echoes for preserving the sound many of us miss so dearly.



Seaton -> RE: Dixie Echoes (8/26/2008 7:50:31 AM)

One of the best quartets on the road today. 'Nuff said.....



takenaback -> RE: Dixie Echoes (8/26/2008 10:30:45 AM)

I agree, D.E.'s are top notch. I got to hear them with their new bass singer, Pat Barker, for the first time this month at GOGR. (Well, ok he's been with them for a year but still seems new to me) But, anyways, he did an outstanding job on "How Big Is God?" I've been singing that song over and over in my head since that night.

They are a fun bunch of guys too. I visited their product table and they were more than happy to cut up and allow me to photograph them.

I can't wait to hear them again. Looks like I'll have to wait until Oct. 9th when they will be at Dollywood for SGMA day.

The Dixie Echoes are AWESOME!!! No doubt about it...my one of favorites[;)]



DOVEFAN -> RE: Dixie Echoes (8/26/2008 11:27:59 AM)

agreed. [:D]

I saw them Sat. night, and I really enjoyed it (as always)
They are on my list of favorites without question!!!!!!



wdburke -> RE: Dixie Echoes (8/26/2008 1:06:15 PM)

Saw them last week and came away very impressed. Like I said in my concert review, aside from all the stylistic discussions of the vintage quartets versus the (arguably) more mainstream quartets, you have to be REALLY GOOD to pull off an entire concert with a piano, bass, and two mics.



dixiebass1 -> RE: Dixie Echoes (8/26/2008 1:38:52 PM)

This week marks one year since i joined the DE. I can't believe it has been that long. I can't thank all of you enough for the kind words about the group. We are having a ball and I hope it shows. Keep us in your prayers. Hope to see you all soon.

His,
Pat



CzarofSGMR -> RE: Dixie Echoes (8/26/2008 3:07:13 PM)

Pat, it was great to meet you and spend some time with you at GOGR. You guys are first class all the way and I wish you all the best.

Congrats on your anniversary with the Echoes!

Sir,
I really wanted to speak to you at GOGR. I got to spend time with Randy on Fri & Sat. We had a great conversation at the breakfast.

Mike Allen and I sat at the back of the hall together on Friday night during your stand. Not only were we impressed with your sound and style...We were blessed immensely! We made sure on Saturday night that we were back in the hall when you guys sang. We were
really glad you did HOW BIG IS GOD again...and LITTLE IS MUCH, was just overwhelming....both nights!

Thanks for singing those great songs with such skill and sincerity.
Hope our paths cross again soon. Randy asked me to send him some songs. Maybe I'll live long enough to hear you guys do one.

Time sure flies. I hope your law enforcement career is rewarding. We miss you in So. Gospel. Any chance we'll hear you again in the future?



RevSlade -> RE: Dixie Echoes (9/8/2008 4:08:22 PM)

I too love the sound of the Dixie Echoes. I'm curious though and maybe only the members of the quartet can verify this. It's my understanding that Randy sold the ownership of the group to Stewart. Can anyone verify this? I thought that would be a big news item to appear online somewhere as well as in the industry mags.

Pat,
Ya'll were great at NQC. I look forward to hearing the group again next time your in the area. And I meant what I said about your performance of "How Big Is God".

I got the new Live DVD and Cd, they are wonderful, i really am enjoying watching that.



StewartVarnadoDE -> RE: Dixie Echoes (9/22/2008 2:49:42 PM)

RevSlade...#14,

Someone just brought this thread to my attention by email, and I thought I could clear up anything. In August of 2007, Randy sold half of the Dixie Echoes to me, and the other half to his son Randy Jr. So, I'm NOT the sole owner. Wish so many of the older group names going away when the senior members retire, Randy thought it was best to pass the torch now, so that the Dixie Echoes can continue for many years to come. Our 50th anniversary is just around the corner, I've now been with the group 10 years, Randy Jr. has been here 19 years, and we plan on carrying it on as long as the Lord intends!

It's no secret, we just don't tend to put out press releases on every thing that happens.

God Bless,

Stewart Varnado

Worthalotbuckeye -> RE: Dixie Echoes (9/22/2008 2:56:04 PM)

Happy to hear the Dixie Echoes will keep on keeping on!!!!! You are seldom in our area, but Hubby and I come to some of your concerts when we are in Florida during the winter months and always look forward to it!!!

Qtman is correct, I have responded to posts before, but they have always been in some form of my name. ie.. Stewart_Varnado or SVarnado etc. Truth is, I post so seldom that I forget my screenname and/or passwords.
