| From the program
aired the weekend of August 8th & 9th, 2009: |
 Our Featured Artist on this program was Taranda
Greene of the Greenes, sharing some songs from her new solo CD
entitled "In The Sanctuary." It's interesting how sometimes a recording
project takes on a "life of its own," and that apparently happened with this
CD. As Taranda explained, the songs, as they came together, all seemed to
have a "churchy" feel to them. And they give a positive, encouraging message
about how the Lord will bring us through difficult times. Taranda's no stranger
to difficult times. Her husband, Tony, has been suffering from kidney
disease and related disorders for some time and is presently awaiting a kidney
transplant. Taranda's brother-in-law (Tim Greene, Tony's brother)
has also faced major health issues for years. That's why Taranda's songs
have such strong messages as "Wait On The Lord" and "I Know To
Much About Him," which is a song that says a Christian knows too much
about the mercies and faithfulness of the Lord to doubt that He will provide.
 Taranda Greene's CD featured on this program, "In
The Sanctuary," is available from our mailorder service, Springside.

 We had a chance on this program to visit some more with soloist
Keith Plott, who has kindly offered 50 copies of his latest
CD, "There Is One," for us to give away. (The online entry form
is below.) It's no wonder a lot of people tell him that, at least on
some songs, his voice has an eerie resemblance to that of the late George
Younce. If you heard his song "Thanks To Calvary" on this program,
you'll have no trouble understanding the comparison. Of course, Keith accepts
such comments as the ultimate compliment.
Our "Yesterday's Voices" feature on this program remembered the late
Howard Goodman (1921-2002) who was the elder brother of the Happy
Goodman Family. Some people thought he was the father of Rusty and Sam Goodman,
but he was actually their older brother. He got a kick out of that misconception.
Howard was inducted into the Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame posthumously
in 2003.
