Cor's daughter Shiela Hogeveen on the piano and John' son John Travis Hoogeveen on the drums also helped out occationnaly in the 18 years. Cor's wife Jetty and sister Jane (Hogeveen) VandeSande also contributed their talents and voices in concerts as they paired up with Cor + Hank creating a second mixed quartet.
When creating the Gospel Brothers second Album some of the additional great background music was contributed by others through Dave Daw "SUMMIT SOUND" of Westport, Ontario.
During this time the Gospel Brothers travelled together extensively throughout the Eastern Ontario region in various station wagons and cars with a trailer full of equipment tagging behind.
The Gospel Brothers got the oppertunity to record their blend of Gospel Music, including one song that was in their native "DUTCH" language and could be heard Sundays on CKBY, Ottawa and CJET, Smith Falls Radio Stations.
Some of the various places and functions the Gospel Brothers were able to share their music were: At the Ottawa and Skyline Cable-Vision TV Stations, A great variety of churches all over eastern ontario and the country side, Various park services, Drive-in Church services, Fund raisers/dinners, Institute for the Blind, Christian Women and Mens Breakfasts, Church anniversaries, Various senior citizens homes, Ottawa Carelton Eastern Ontario's plow matches.
Some also included Campground services, Fairs, Annual Gospel music concerts in Morrisburge, Arnprior, Central Canada Ex's Christian booth in Ottawa.
They also sang at two special evenings where JIM IRWIN the astronaut (who went to the moon) spoke about his journey and faith.
They have sung in various concerts and fuctions with the REX LeLaCHEUR SINGERS of OTTAWA. Six out of the eight Hogeveen family brothers and sisters were members at various times in the choir for many years till he passed away.
