From Ricky Atkinson’s email newsletter….
Some have heard a rumor about RAC now being a quartet, so I will address that issue, since I’m answering that question almost every day…. Our good friend, Gene McDonald formerly of The Florida Boys and a regular on the Gaither Tour, who is also a full time soloist, is the subject of the talk. Everyone and their blog, and their websites are reporting that we have an awesome QUARTET, HAHA! Well, we do ALTHOUGH….. that’s not quite official. We are definitely thinking about it and anyone who was there when he sat in with us at NQC knows how brilliantly powerful the sound was, well you kinda just had to be there. Chuck Peters reported it as one of those rare NQC moments that stand out in your mind, and you just had to be there to witness it….. it was pretty special. Gene will be working a few dates with us in October, and we will talk and go from there… I will say this, you just never know!!
If any of you readers happen to catch one of the concerts with Gene, please report back and let us know how it goes.
I’d love to know which dates Gene will be at . . . any of them in Georgia???
Diana, the dates weren’t specified that I saw. If I find out, I’ll definitely post the info. Maybe I’ll stick Nate on that one!
I emailed Ricky about the dates. At this point they aren’t sure if Gene will be able to do both of the concerts they are talking about so he has asked me not to mention them at this time. If I get an update I’ll pass it on!
Thanks! I’ll be watching for the update.
