2011 Conference

Sonny Taylor has become our Brotherhood's premier hymnologist.  He has spent the last 22 years of his life researching gospel singing in our Brotherhood.  He has searched for many song writers who have contributed to our repertory.  He has interviewed them, photographed their world, and explored their adventures in church music.

Sonny has become an expert in copyright law as it is applied to church music.  He has found the network of song writers and agents.  He has counseled extensively with people who want to publish songbooks.  Now, he has produced three songbooks.

He has also become an album producer.  He now works with some of the best singing groups in our Brotherhood.

We have invited him to be the central focus of our pre-Singing School workshop and, to our delight and excitement, he has accepted the invitation.

We have suggested that he bring to the event some of the presentations he has developed, introducing song writers and other historical events relative to church music.  He will bring his new songbooks, and he will talk with us about what is happening today in church music.

Song is one of our most up-to-date students of the trends in church music.  In addition to surveying our Brotherhood, he has traveled abroad on hymn journeys.

We will give you time to interview and question him during the workshop.
