Some dislike singers which they say are dancing or preforming? This is usually in Southern Gospel. The singers are there to give a message by song. There have been many dedicated musicians and singers alike who are stone cold faced on stage. There are also preachers like that. Singers or preachers who are filled with the spirit and because so are energetic when singing or preaching doesn't bother me in the least. A good example is the late Anthony Burger. The man was by anyones standards a concert pianists. Yet he chose Southern Gospel Music and was associated with several groups.
One of Burgers things to do was to lay down on the piano bench while still playing the piano which annoyed the singer {not really}. It wasn't disrespect. Rather it was like the late Wendy Bagwell's stories {such as Here comes the Rattlesnakes} which were part of his music ministry much like a preacher telling a funny event he remembers giving his sermon. I see nothing wrong in it.
Southern Gospel took off in large part because of the promotion by a blind preacher and his wife who traveled the south and had both a TV and radio show called Mulls Singing Convention.
There is also the older Bluegrass Gospel which comes mainly from the Blue Ridge & Appalachians. Groups like The Stanley Brother, The Easter Brothers, The Carter Family, Bill Monroe were among the earlier ones. They use Banjo, Fiddle, Acoustic guitar, bass fiddle, Mandolins, as instruments. That personally is my favorite. On the other hand my favorite longest owned album is Willie Nelson's Troublemaker album. IMO his best work. I learned to play a six string by that album. It's older traditional Gospel songs and he doesn't skip verses LOL.
The regions own heritage, church doctrines, age of those attending, and very often the talent by ones within a church usually sets policy.
Excellent album, cva66snipe. Excellent album.
