Hi everyone.

Have mercy, what a month. We've covered a lot of ground in September, and I have several things to tell you.....

The National Quartet Convention in Louisville, Kentucky, was a big and good time as always. We took the stage on Wednesday and Friday evenings to a most enthusiastic audience, and Thursday night's Singing News Fan Awards provided us with a moment we won't soon forget. We didn't win any awards but were honored to perform "His Life For Mine" as one of the top ten nominated songs of the year. I can't quite describe it, but the presence of the Lord was definitely felt in Freedom Hall that night. After the awards show we had so many people come to our booth to tell us how much the song touched them, which is better than a plaque any day. Saturday afternoon I got to be part of the Leaders of Tomorrow showcase. Approximately 100 artists age 30 and under sang in various combinations, and Eddie Harrison (Hope's Call) and Stephanie Brown (Jody Brown Indian Family) joined me for "Shout To The Lord/How Great Thou Art." It was one of the highlights of the week for me, and you'll be able to catch it on DVD if you weren't there.

Oh allow me to brag on a friend of ours for a second. My dad produces all the recordings for the Collingsworth Family, so we were pretty excited when Kim Collingsworth was invited to be part of Pianorama at NQC this year. The only female on stage, Kim absolutely brought the house down, and we're just proud to say we know her!

Several of you have already expressed an interest in our "Anthology" project, which is due to arrive in late October/early November. As I've told you, it will feature the Talleys' most recognizable and popular songs, as well as three new singles. The first release from this project will be a Gerald Crabb tune called "The Debt," and what a powerful song. We've already sung it a couple of times in concert, and so far the response has been awesome. Can't wait for you to hear it...

I know that everyone's been glued to their TV screens for the last few weeks watching hurricane coverage and aftermath, and the scenes are absolutely devastating. You know, it's so easy to sit on the couch and say that God will take care of them and do nothing. While God certainly has control of the situation, I think He expects us to do our part to relieve whatever suffering we see. Tonight we'll be part of a benefit
concert with many other artists for the Red Cross to supply aid to hurricane victims all across the Gulf Coast. Even though a lot of you won't be there, I hope you'll ask God to show you what you can do to help those around you. So many people are looking for Jesus in the middle of flood water, disease, and devastation. I assure you Jesus will be in whatever gift you give.

One more thing, our 1998 MCI coach is for sale, so if you're interested, you can inquire through our website, http://www.talleytrio.com , and of course you can read our tour schedule, order product, and find out everything you need to know about the Talleys.

Until next time,

Lauren Talley
