Well, here it is, The Spring Edition of the Keystone
Quarterly, The PSGMA Magazine. I know I say this every
time, but I am saying it again...since this magazine is printed
quarterly, it gives you all time to send me detailed information
about what is going on in and around your communities. I
know I sound like a broken record, stuck on the same word, but
the fact remains that I still need things like upcoming southern
gospel concerts going on in your churches or communities, with
accurate dates and times of the events. Along with that, I need
contact information to verify that the information submitted is
indeed correct. I also need things like Personal Testimonies,
Praise Reports, Ads, Poems etc...
The 3rd Quarter of 2015 is coming up next! Those months
are July, August and September. These are the months that
are loaded with Summer concerts and Festivals. If you are
submitting anything at all, PLEASE make sure that you have
the information sent to me by May 29. (Earlier is always better)
Check out the "Contact Information and Pricing Section"
on this page if you would like to submit an AD.
Happy Mothers' Day, Happy Memorial Day and Happy
Fathers' Day too!!!
God Bless You!
Sincerely,
Lois Gongloff

DIXIE MELODY BOYS
Spreading the eternal message of Christ
without compromise is the foundation and
cornerstone of any career in the ministry of the
Gospel. Many talented vocalists and musicians
step onto concert stages across the country
each week; however, only the faithful and
dedicated overcome the pressures of life on the
road to delight in the blessings that are reaped
by the faithful servant. Ed O’Neal, whose
name has been synonymous with Gospel
Music for over 50 years, can certainly be
labeled as one of the faithful and dedicated.
O’Neal joined The Dixie Melody Boys
in 1961 and became owner and manager of
the quartet just a few years later. During the
past five decades The Dixie Melody Boys,
led by O’Neal have enjoyed tremendous
success, including a Grammy nomination and
numerous Fan Award nominations from The
Singing News Magazine, Southern Gospel
Music’s leading fan and trade publication. In
the realm of personal achievement, a highlight
of O’Neal’s career came in September of 2000
when he was named recipient of the Marvin
Norcross Award, the highest honor presented
at The Singing News Fan Awards Ceremony
each year. He was presented this Award in
recognition of his long-time service to his
community, as well as the Southern Gospel
Page 4
Music industry. Additionally, in October
of 2004 he was inducted into the Southern
Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame, an
honor bestowed each year to Gospel Music
legends.
Over the years, The Dixie Melody Boys
have been featured on such popular television
programs as The Ralph Emery Show and
Primetime Country. They have appeared
at Carowinds Theme Park, Six Flags Over
Georgia and Dollywood Theme Park. Southern
Gospel radio stations nationwide consistently
fill the airwaves with the music of The Dixie
Melody Boys. Throughout the past four
decades, hit songs have flowed their way in
bunches. In fact, they have enjoyed more
than 20 Top 40 hits, including eight Top 10
releases.
The thrill and excitement of performing
experienced by each Dixie Melody Boy
night after night is most evident at each
concert. Their goal of delivering a first-class
performance filled with excitement, energy
and lots of great traditional, Southern Gospel
Music are traits which have proven to play an
essential role in the success they have enjoyed.
These characteristics, united with their desire

Bass Singer, Will Lane, Returns to the Anchorman
The Anchorman are thrilled to welcome
bass singer, Will Lane, back to the quartet.
Lane was part
of the Anchorman
in 2003, and then
exited the group in
2006 to help launch
another ministry.
He is thrilled and
the guys couldn't
be happier to have
him.
He, along with
tenor, Derrick
Boyd (who recently joined the group),
Jamie Caldwell (lead singer extraordinaire),
and long-time solid baritone singer, Terry
Carter, are excited about what's ahead for the
Anchorman.
Will Lane's first official appearance as the
returning, outstanding, low down, bass singer
for the group was on December 27, 2014 at
Lithia Springs, GA.
Dixie Melody Boys
continued from page 4
to never compromise their responsibility to
spread the Gospel through Southern Gospel
Music in a Christ-like, professional manner
have allowed The Dixie Melody Boys to
firmly establish their place at the forefront of
Southern Gospel Music.
As the Dixie Melody Boys have found,
the miles on the road may sometimes be long,
but God continues to bless the hard work of
His faithful servants, as He continually offers
new excitement with each new endeavor.
One would think that after 50 years, a group
would grow complacent and rest on its
laurels, but the current line-up of the Dixie
Keystone Quarterly
Baritone singer and MC for the
Anchormen, Terry Carter, shares, "We couldn't
be happier about what's happening with this
quartet right now. As with so many of the
events that take place on this journey of life,
we see the HAND of GOD in every aspect
of the recent additions to the group. He is an
ON TIME God and this is a SPECIAL time
for the Anchormen. Even when we experience
change, we still hold to the UNCHANGING
hand of Him who knows the plans HE has
for us; plans to prosper us in HIM and to
see LIVES touched through music and
ministry. I'm not sure when we've ever had
a better group of guys with strong talent and
tremendous hearts for ministry. We are all
just plain delighted about this season for the
Anchormen."
Group manager, Tim Bullins expresses,
"What can I say? This is a good day for the
Anchormen. My guys are ready to carry the
hope of Christ everywhere God opens a door,
an ear, or a heart." 
Melody Boys immediately disproves that
theory. Still anchored by bass, Ed O' Neal,
along with quartet veteran Josh Garner at lead
and newcomers, Aaron Dishman and Doug
Pittman, baritone and tenor respectively,
today's Dixie Melody Boys are determined
to continue their great legacy while breaking
new ground in Southern Gospel music. With
perhaps the strongest vocal combination the
group has seen in its illustrious history, the
Dixie Melody Boys strive to present the very
best in quartet music to glorify the Savior and
uplift the sinner and saint, alike. 

Steel City Trio
teel City Trio's website states, "We
are a band of men committed to
bringing the message of 'Good
News' through our music ministry by sharing
uplifting songs that testify to how God's love
can touch hearts and change lives forever."
That commitment is the calling of this group
based in Sutersville, Pennsylvania, and they've
been fulfilling this calling for many years.
The manager and tenor of this group is
John Lawrenzi, who says, "I am known only
by the nickname 'Legs'. My wife calls be
'Legs'. My mother and dad called me 'Legs'."
So, perhaps we should call him "Legs" as we
talk further with this most interesting singer.
Legs tells us that for all of his life he had
a stuttering problem, even flunking first grade
because his teacher thought he was simply
dumb. He didn't answer questions in class
— not because he didn't know but because a
simple "you" could turn into many "yous."
But Legs loved to sing. In 1957, he joined
a rock-and-roll group that sang at the famous
"Porky Chadwick Hops" near Pittsburgh. Later
he and a friend became "Dave and Legs" and
even did TV work with some big names such
as Marty Robbins, Duane Eddy, and Wayne
Newton.
In 1960, he met his wife, Marie, and they
had two sons but soon, he says, "I became a
town drunk. In 1972, I gave my heart to Jesus.
I love Southern Gospel, and I love to sing.
Page 6
As far as I am concerned, God took an old
drunk and brought me from disgrace to His
marvelous grace.
Legs joined The Tribunes in 1973,
changing the group name in 1980 to Steel
City Quartet. In 2010, Legs was inducted into
the Pennsylvania Southern Gospel Music
Association Hall of fame, as a result of 41
years of singing, 23 recordings and more than
4,000 concerts.
Legs recorded his most successful album
in 1999. Titled The Fabulous Fifties Gospel, it
was an unusual album of The Platters' famous
hits from the 1950s sung with Gospel lyrics
written by Legs.
The past year was one of change as the
quartet became Steel City Trio. Bass Glenn
Crawford died after singing with the quartet
for 20 years, and Tim Cousino retired after 26
years of singing. Ron Pry, former baritone of
22 years, rejoined the group after a two-year
hiatus and sings the lead and baritone. He
shares both of these parts with John Horak.
Steel City Trio sings "because we love our
Lord and Savior. Our prayer is to see lost souls
come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ
and that our inspirational songs will bring joy,
give encouragement, inspire the faithful, and
touch lives wherever we go."
