Transcribe →Episode 21: An Interview with Chief Melvin Klaudt
2w ago00:57:27Tap to summarizeMelvin Klaudt performed with his family, the Klaudt Indian Family, for decades. They caught listeners' attention by dressing in their traditional Arikara Indian outfits, but they kept their audience coming back with their talent and heart for ministry. Chief Melvin Klaudt is a 2020 inductee to the Southern Gospel Hall of Fame. His story is well worth hearing - and I say hearing in this case because he was most comfortable joining by telephone.You can read this interview on Southern Gospel JournalWATC 57 Live StreamKlaudt Indian Family appearance at the 1996 Grand Ole Gospel Reunion

Transcribe →Episode 19: An Interview with Ray Cragun
4w ago00:58:26Tap to summarizeIn his college years, Ray Cragun sang bass for the Celebration Quartet. One Southern Gospel artist called this quartet “the best quartet that most people have never heard.” It's not hard to see why when you consider that the rest of the lineup was Mark Dubbeld (tenor), Dan Coy (lead), Jeff Keaton (baritone), and Kim Keaton - now Kim Collingsworth - on piano. After 25 years of pastoring, he now sings with his family, The Craguns. His story is worth hearing!If you’d like to read this interview: https://southerngospeljournal.com/ray-cragun-interview/The Craguns: https://www.thecraguns.com/
