Lori - Is looking for RT CD's!
Lori said...
Hello, how might I get one or more of these CDs? I was remembering tapes (cassette? reel-to-reel?) of the choir that we listened to when I was a child on the mission field in Africa in the 60s-70s. I remember my mother loved the choir, especially one tenor soloist. She is 74 now and I am 48, and I think it would be so fun to get this music for her to hear again. We had AG missionary friends, the Corbins, and I believe Mrs. Corbin played piano for this choir at one time? Do you know them?
Lori - It was great to hear from you! And yes, Ed & Sonja are good CBC friends of ours, but I don't remember either Ed or Sonja in RT. Anybody out there remember Ed & Sonja in choir?
And Lori the only place you can order an RT CD officially is through iFPHC.org and AG Heritage order: RTF CD 750473 $14.95. Call them toll free 877.840.5200
Or you can e-mail another RT fan, who says he will make a copy for you:
Ben says "If you're interested in getting a mp3 version of an old Revivaltime favorite, send me an e-mail." Ben Wilson - Salem, Oregon Wilsonfamily8@comcast.net

Somewhere in Kansas!
Yes, Marty Gould is alive and well. Gaylan “Rockford” Grant found him for us! I spoke with both Gaylan and Marty today.
It was great to reminisce and hear updates about Marty and Roberta. Marty was the Organist for RT on 10 different tours. Roberta came into Marty's life soon after the Space Needle event. They will be married 35 years!
Marty promised to send in some of his RT stories via the blog. He also claims to have the complete collections of RT “33 1/3 Albums” – try explaining that to your grandkids! He is trying to photograph the covers for us. We will try to get those covers posted soon on the blog.
BTW: Did you know that you can order a CD of RT Favorites? Through iFPHC.org and AG Heritage order RTF CD 750473 $14.95. Call toll free 877.840.5200
We still have an APB out for Betty Spade.

The Day We ALMOST Visited the Seattle Space Needle.
On choir tours, we spent very little time on things away from the concert itself.
For instance - I remember going to Washington D.C. and having to run into the memorials, take pictures and run back to the bus. (Whew! I’m still tired.)
On this particular trip we were in Seattle, WA. Brother Mac planned a special day that included time to visit the Space Needle. We were all pretty pumped to be able to do something off the normal schedule.
Upon arriving at the very base of the needle, we were told to quickly get off of the bus and a Fire Truck and an EMT crew showed up within minutes. Who knew Betty Spade had been ill on the bus?
For those of you who didn’t know, Betty had a thing for Marty Gould our organist. (This thing was all one way – poor Marty.) So, we waited outside the bus and watched as 6 or 7 firemen and EMT guys went onto the bus and eventually they loaded Betty on some kind of stretcher and carried her off the bus. (Later we were told that they removed some tight under garments and that she was hyperventilating.)
As the stretcher went by Marty, somehow Betty drew enough strength to lean up and wave at Marty as she went off in the ambulance.
Well, so much for going up the Space Needle. Our time was all up! So, we loaded back on the bus and headed back to the church in just enough time to change and warm up. Thanks Betty!
That night at the church went as planned except, Betty had a solo in the “Sermon in Song” and because of her illness Debbie Florence was prepared and was ready to fill in for Betty.
By now Betty had returned to the church and was lying on a pew – looking really puny and exhausted. She stayed there UNTIL it was time for her solo and miraculously, right before that time came, she rose from the dead walked over to the mike and sang as if nothing had happened, went back and laid down on the pew.
Can you tell Betty pushed a lot of buttons that day?
The next day, we had our bus devotions and testimonials, followed by the prayer request time. Betty was on the list to be prayed for, Brother Mac asked Donnie Morphis- our choir Vice President, to pray for her …. He refused!
It was one of those moments when all of the air went out of the bus.
Brother Mac turned a little red in the face, cleared his throat and went on with other business.
BTW: On that day, I don’t remember anybody praying for Betty Spade.
