BRIEF: Original Battle of Songs features veterans of Southern gospel

March 02--Music producer Paul Belcher is billing his next show as the Original Battle of Songs -- not so much for a sense of competitiveness among the performers but in the audience's difficulty in picking a favorite from these veterans of Southern gospel. Set to perform in Belcher's annual spring concert are:

* The McKameys

* The Inspirations

* Primitive Quartet

* The Greesons

* The Bowers Quartet, based in Cleveland, Tenn., will start the show, at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, March 4, at Memorial Auditorium, 399 McCallie Ave. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.

Reserved seating on the main floor is $25. General-admission balcony seating is $20. Children 12 and younger get in free for balcony seats.
