Most books give the "birth" of Southern Gospel as 1910 when the first
Vaughn quartet went out on the road. That means next year would be
the 100th anniversary of SG. Are there any plans for celebrating
this? I thought some of the organizations might do something to
commemorate/publicize this.

Curiously enough the local Southern Gospel show on the radion told last
night about the origins of SG with Albert Brumley. He said that the first
songs for SG were written and performed in 1905.

Looks like we missed the centennial.

1910 is generally accepted as the first year Southern Gospel began, because
that's the year quartets began traveling and singing in order to sell
songbooks.

If you want to go by the first year a song was written, I think you could
probably go back a lot further than 1905.
