Your Group had a big year in 2004 both professionally and personally.  Fill everyone in on what has happened with the group!

Since the beginning of our career, we have traveled out of state of Florida .  The last few years we wanted to base the organization out of Nashville which is much more centrally located for our travels.  We are doing more dates in the north and out west than we've done before and it was requiring much more time on the road from Florida .  The summer of 2004 Michael and Jim moved to the Nashville area.  I have remained in Florida where our office is until we can move it to Nashville also.  Our mother joined the staff last year as our administrative assistant which is a real blessing but we have to be on our toes and behave now.  Also, last year was especially exciting because we had the opportunity to travel to Jerusalem in August with the Gaithers.  For those of you who have followed the Booth Brothers for the last several years you will recall a song we sang of Mosie Listers entitled Beyond the Cross.  The biggest thrill for us was we had the opportunity to sing that a cappella in the tomb of our Lord.  I'd have to say that was most definitely the highlight of the year. 

What's next up to bat for your group?  In other words, what do you see in the immediate future for your ministry?

We are very excited that in the fall of this year we will be with Gaither in the state of California for the first time and other states out west.  It's always interesting and exciting to travel into a new market where people are just being intruded to your music.  We know we have a following out there because we have received many e-mails and orders for our product off our website from there. 

Tell us about your new album.  Word on the street is it's going to be your best yet.  Can you give us the scoop?

You will be hearing the new single shortly on the radio. The song is called “He Saw It All”.  I think it's going to be a pleasant surprise for gospel music lovers. It is actually recorded in six eight time which will be a first for our group.  I think it's going to be very radio friendly and a lot of folks are going to be shouting' Halleluiah in the cars, but we're not gonna be responsible for any speeding tickets.  We are continuing as I speak working on the entire album.  Most of the tracks have been cut and the record will picture what the Booth Brothers are best at - harmony, harmony, harmony.

What are the long term plans for your group.  What's the future hold for your group?

Well, I'm not happy if I'm not growing.  If the organization is not growing or if I'm not growing in my personal life, then I'm not satisfied.    So growing in my walk with the Lord, also growing in knowledge of how to be a better business man, and in every aspect of my life I want to continue growing.  The group is nothing more than stewards of what we've been given.  We will continue pursuing new markets and building strong relationships in these new markets. 

Tell us about your worst and best concert experiences lately.  Something the fan will love to know about you!

Michael and I made hind ends out of ourselves during a Gaither show one time.  While Jessie Dixon was singing Get Away Jordan, Michael and I thought that we and about ten other artists were suppose to go on stage with him and back him up.  We realized that we were the only two artists that felt it was necessary to back him on stage, so there we stood.  I would say that was the worst.  The best would be at a church in Eustis , Florida where our friend, Andy Bryant, joined us on stage.  He gave the testimony of his son who was tragically killed in a car accident a few years ago.  If I remember correctly, eleven people trusted Christ that night.  Results of that significance is why we do what we do every concert. 

My favorite movies are Rocky Three and Rocky Four as well as all three of the Rambo films and Brave Heart featuring Mel Gibson.  But my favorite of all is The Passion of Christ.

THE BOOTH BROTHERS ROCK!!! It says the Booth Brothers are best at "harmony, harmony, harmony", that is so true.. but what the best part of the Booth Brothers is their heart for "ministry, ministry, ministry"! The Lord is working through them and they are a real blessing. The Booth Brother's concerts are filled with Christ's love, humor, and GREAT singing! The guys are a true blessing to all they come in contact with! May the Lord continue to use them in such a special way. What a wonderful ministry!!!

Dear Michael, Ronnie and Jim ...
Love your music, your heart for God and your dedication to the Gospel Music. Ronnie ... I so much enjoyed sitting at dinner with you and Mosie at convention in 2004. For a young songwriter, I must say that it was the highlight of my life. I will never forget that night. Since then I have gone on to write some of my best material. The Word says ... "A man who has friends must show himself friendly". Ronnie ... you truly lived out that scripture and I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate your friendship. You went out of the way to invite me over for dinner that night and you will never know what it meant to me. God Bless You all.

Sincerely,
Steven Cheney

PS. Next time you see Mosie, please share this with him. His writing is great, and I often look in his song book that he signed for me ... and am inspired by the timeless messages that God has allowed him to write over the years. These songs have encouraged me many times when I wanted to throw in the towel. Mosie...you mean a great deal to other writers and especially to me. Blessings to you. Steven Cheney

The Booth Brothers have made one of the greastest impressions on me as anyone in Gospel Music. They are the nicest guys and they have wonderful harmony. They could sing anybody's songs and make them sound good. Keep on smiling and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in song. You can see Jesus through them!

Hey Micheal, Jim, and Ronnie, just wanted to say you are the best. I know you will take the west coast by storm this fall,and when you leave they people out there will love you just like we do here in La.
For anyone that might not have any of the Booth Brothers music, you don't know what you are missing. I promise you you will be pleased to say the least these guys are three of the most talented men I have ever had the priviledge to meet, and thanks to the working of the hand of God I also feel very honored to call them my friends.They are awesome and they truly believe what they sing and preach(right Micheal?)! Don't miss it if you get a chance to go see them, you'll be blessed!
Can't wait to see you guys in Texas next month.Take care, Give my love to Mr.Billy and Blake.
Love you all,
Joy

Welcome to Nashville! Hope you like it here as much as we do. My husband and I love your group and are thrilled you're recording Mosie Lister's songs. He's a great songwriter. We can't wait to see you in Smyrna in July.
