Nominees will be announced and 2nd round voting will begin April 1.
We are finally back to the studio to begin working on our new CD. Gigi will be working on her solo CD as well. We would like to solicit your prayers for the next three weeks or so as we work on the details of these projects. A hearty thank you for the many prayers that go up for our ministry, may God bless you a million fold, in Jesus'name.
AND...
Thank you to everyone who voted for us in the nomination round for the Diamond Awards. We appreciate your efforts and are hopeful that we will be in the running again this year.
We need your help to vote for us this year in the Diamond Awards! As usual, it is a three-tier process that will require the same voters to vote in three sessions.
First we need to be nominated, ballots are open now for nominations until February 28. If we are counted in the list of nominees, then we will be needing even more votes to make it into the next level, which is the top 10.
If we make it into the top 10 again this year, we will need your votes again and even more of them to make it to the top 5. Top 5 artists get to be on stage at the Branson Gospel Music Convention in Branson, Missouri and will be among some of Southern Gospel’s most popular artists like the Blackwood Quartet, Florida Boys, Stamps Quartet; 2nd Generation, Kirk Talley, Kenny Bishop, and Chris Hester, as well as many up and coming artists like Dale & Cheryl Golden, Kathy Atkins, Jericho, and others.
I really hate to campaign, but the sad truth is that is how it is done until you are a real "somebody", lol. We are not trying to be a "somebody" so much as that the award would help us to obtain more bookings and therefore reach more people with our music... ultimately to spread the gospel and uplift others.
If you would be so kind as to get us started by going to the link below and write us in for any of the applicable award categories. For instance "Duet of the year", "Female Vocalist /Soloist of the year", "Sunrise", "Male Vocalist/Soloist" etc. There is a page to explain each category on the website in the voting page. Any of the titles that you feel we fit into would be appreciated. And if you would send this on to your friends that might help as well, we would appreciate that very much.
Thank you in advance and may God bless you a million-fold for your time and help.
Gigi & Randy
The Texas International Music Association awards' ceremony surprised us when we were named "2009 Gospel Duet of the Year". We are humbled and honored to be named among so many talented and accomplished artists of a wide variety of genres. We sing for the Lord, not for trophies, but what an encouragement and joy it is to receive one. God bless everyone in the TIMA family and thank you all for your support.

Gigi n Randy get SIRIUS!
We are humbled to announce that in addition to being played around the world on AM, FM and internet stations, as of June 4, 2009 we are now being played on on Channel 068 Praise FM Sirius Sattelite radio station! Glory to God! Thank you to God's dilligent servant, Randolph Michaud, our promoter and owner of "Northstar Records and Promotions" who has worked very hard to get our music out and thus helping us to fullfill the call to "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation" Mark 16:15.
We didn't make the top five, but we appreciate your support and votes that got us into the top ten. The award would have been fun, but we aren't too disappointed. We are not in this for the notoriety, only for furthering the Gospel and encouraging others. It is by the grace of God through your prayers, encouragement and support that enable us to continue in ministry. We thank you and pray God's best blessings on your life, in Jesus' name. Gigi's Solo CD
Many of you have inquired about when I will be producing a solo CD. We have been praying about this and are looking forward to God providing direction and funding for it. We are hoping to begin working on this project in the Fall this year. Please pray with us. =)
