Today we present SGN Scoops’ Fast Five for Friday, a special edition of our feature that you usually see on Monday! But we thought you needed a smile for your Friday as well, so here you have it:
SGN Scoops talked to Karen Peck and New River during the last weekend that Jeff Hawes was with the group. We have included his answers here as well for this Fast Five. Each artist was asked five questions, and they answered with the first word that came to mind, in true game-show fashion. Unfortunately there were no prizes, but we consider each member of Karen Peck and New River a winner!
SGN Scoops: What is your favorite perfume/cologne?
Susan Peck Jackson: Mademoiselle by Chanel
Kari Gooch: Daisy by Marc Jacobs
Jeff Hawes: YSL [Yves Saint Laurent]
Karen Peck Gooch: Jimmie Choo
SGN Scoops: What was the last book you read?
Susan Peck Jackson: Hear My Heart [by Sheri Easter]
Kari Gooch: The Vacationers [by Emma Straub]
Jeff Hawes: The Bible. That’s a given… but it really was. Before that: To Kill A Mockingbird. I’ve read that many, many times.
Karen Peck Gooch: God’s Generals. I read a lot of books at the same time. But my favorite book is God’s Generals [by Roberts Liardon]
SGN Scoops: What is your favorite thing about Canada? [Editor’s note: The concert took place in Coburg, Ontario, Canada.]
Susan Peck Jackson: I love Canada! Everything is great. We were talking about all the things we like about Canada: Maple Syrup, the Hockey Team [We hope she means the Toronto Maple Leafs!], and the Baseball Team [We are sure she means the Toronto Blue Jays!]…we were talking about that, but really, we love the way y’all talk. Eh?
Kari Gooch: The accents.
Jeff Hawes: The people; they are so sweet, genuinely sweet.
Karen Peck Gooch: The people. Absolutely.
SGN Scoops: What is your favorite hymn?
Susan Peck Jackson: The Old Rugged Cross.
Kari Gooch: Amazing Grace.
Jeff Hawes: It Is Well With My Soul.
Karen Peck Gooch: Amazing Grace.
SGN Scoops: What is your favorite vacation destination?
Susan Peck Jackson: Destin, Florida. That’s where we go every year because it’s not that far from where we live. Every summer we go to the beach and stay for a week. It’s a good family time to get together.
Kari Gooch: Destin, Florida.
Jeff Hawes: The Smoky Mountains, Tennessee, Pigeon Forge. I love it and it’s not that far from home.
Karen Peck Gooch: Destin, Florida. I like Destin because I love the beach. The beach is white sand, it’s clean and it’s family-oriented. We like the water, we like the food; it’s just someplace we always go and it’s also the kids’ favorite place.
SGN Scoops thanks Karen Peck and New River for being so gracious to chat with us after the concert at Lakeshore Pentecostal Camp in Coburg, Ontario. We urge our readers to continue to pray for Rickey Gooch so he can regain his health. A special greeting goes out to Matthew Gooch who seemed to vanish as soon as a voice recorder was brought out!
Karen Peck and New River have been nominated for several Diamond Awards in 2015. We invite you to vote for these artists today! Make your plans to visit Creekside Gospel Music Convention for the Diamond Awards ceremony on November 3, 2015.
