Stewart Varnado & Cricket Lee...I always enjoy going
to Jubilee Weekend in Panama City every year, and each year I look forward
to spending time with several of my friends. Cricket Lee is one of my best
friends and a great singer from Dothan, Alabama. You can visit her
online at: www.cricketlee.com. If
she is ever in your area, be sure to go see her sing!

Mrs. Hart, my 3rd grade teacher! Recently we sang
in Kentwood, Louisiana, and in the audience was one of my favorite teachers,
Mrs. Hart. It was great to see her again. I know it may be hard for
ya'll to believe but I was quiet in school. The perfect student!

LaShay Bankston & Stewart Varnado
Is she a Dixie Echoes fan yet? Well hopefully so. I'm pretty
sure that LaShay is actually the only cousin of mine that listens to and
likes Southern Gospel Music. Speaking of the concert in Kentwood, Louisiana,
it was LaShay that promoted it! Keep up the good work!

The Five Broke Single Boys - Gene McDonald, Billy Hodges,
Scoot Shelnut, Josh Garner, & Stewart Varnado. Taken just after their
performance on February 4, 2003 in Auburndale, Florida.

Live in Auburndale! Thanks to Bill Bailey, Les Beasley,
& Randy Shelnut for making this possible, and to the fans for packing
the house!!!

We sang every song from our new cd, and made it available
to the fans. If you don't have your copy, get it now in my online store.
Remember, all proceeds go to the Southern Gospel Music Association.
Bill Bailey announced after the concert that we are going to be performing
in Bonifay, Florida, at the All Night Sing! |
