MikeW called to tell me that someone was setting up a website for current and previous Southern Gospel Groups and The Pioneers had a page. We are working with the website owner to load more photos and all the remaining Pioneers Quartet recordings.

A little history on the group. Three very dear friends of mine and I started the Pioneers Quartet in 2000. We had been with another group before starting our own. From 2000 to 2005, The Pioneers recorded 3 CDs, the final one, "Songs of Jesus" was recorded at Goldmine studios in Gadsden, Alabama.

Those years were the best in my Southern Gospel Music life. The Pioneers sang in concert with groups such as The Perrys, Legacy Five, The Joymasters and our favorite buddies with The Palmetto State Quartet. We recorded a live video with Palmetto State to a huge crowd at South Cobb High School in 2003. TBN produced it.

The first CD, "From Atlanta To You" was our first recording and, in many ways, my favorite. The photo on the cover was taken at the TV57 studio where we had just done a live 30 minute program. During those years, The Pioneers appeared on TV57 every 3 months.

I don't mean to go on and on, but those years with The Pioneers are very dear to me. If you go to THIS LINK, you can click on the CD and listen to any of the songs. It's hard for me to pick a favorite, but "I'll Live Again" is a good toe tapper.

:slappy

I look forward to all three CDs being loaded when we get them to the webmaster. You might be talking about "Hard Trials". That was a pretty good one from the "Songs of Jesus" recording. Thanks for checking it out. If you ever liked "The Lettermen" sound, A Song Was Born sounds a lot like them. Harmony was what make the vocals tight 8)

Yep, Hard Trials. I'm not hitting on all cylinders today.
 
Hey strangers! (Guess I'm the one that's been the stranger though!)

I have sent the remaining music clips and some more photos, along with a bio of the group (it's probably more like a story, after I was through with it) that should be loaded to our page within a day or two. A good friend of mine named Larry Wade put this site together to honor some of the past groups, along with some present artists and groups, that sang in many churches in the Paulding and surrounding areas over the last couple of decades. Some of these include Southern Grace (some will remember them as the Gospel Express), Faith Singers, Journeyland, New Creations, and several others that are on the site. Many of the pages are complete with bios and music, and some are in the process of getting built. I want to commend Larry on doing a great job of getting this site together, as I know he has been doing some very time-consuming tasks to create the pages on the site. I hope you'll visit, and leave some comments on what you think. If there are folks here who remember other groups and have pictures and other items that he can make part of the site, he is ready to accept them. It's great to be able for me to relive some great memories from our group's singing days, and I'm glad someone felt led to put these groups together in one place for many to see and enjoy!
