  When pastors are divorcing their wives, raping other ladies, telling all sort of lies to dupe people etc. Nobody cares about the Christian musicians as was practiced in the old testament era. Some have moved into the recording world thinking that will yield some income to sustain them as they perform their God given talents but to no avail. What about the fact that most Christians don't buy tapes of gospel musicians, if they get the chance, they ask for free cd's. Most of these musicians are being exploited by some quack executive producers and what do you expect?
  
  I personally have worked with some very good gospel musicians in the past. They are not old but have faded so quick. At Takoradi Holy Fire, there was Charlie Sam, Amy Newman and later Joe Beecham, where are they? In Tema there was my sweet sisters Mary Ghanasah and Efua Agyapong "may her soul rest in peace", there was Charles Ghanasah and a few others where are they? Kumasi in those days boasted of Yaw Agyeman Badu "YABS", Esther Nyamekye, Hannah Marfo where are they? As for Accra, the least said the better. ICGC during Eric Kwapongs era, CAFM had Stella Seal "Dugan", Stella Koranteng, Johnny Dzambga, Tina Logan and Ola Williams "may his soul rest in peace" but where are they? At Family worship Center OMG, Danny Nettey, Tom Bright Davies, Zap Mallet, Besta Baiden to mention but a few, where are they? Pastor Nelson, Sarah Sendy and so on. Willi Roy and the rest I never mention please forgive me. Folks, working with all these guys was a joy and you could sense the sweetness of the love they have for God and what happened? We need to go back to the cross and work our ways back home. None can be left out. From the "eleph" to the "ant" equals elephant. Don't blame gospel musicians only, those at the top are also to be blamed.
