From the program aired the weekend of Aug. 29th & 30th, 2009: This was our official Singing News Top 20 Countdown Edition, based on the song chart appearing in the magazine's September issue. Congratulations to Ernie Haase & Signature Sound for another number one song, "The Old Landmark," their second number one from their "Dream On" CD. The other one was "Reason Enough" back in January. As you heard on the program, this marks their fifth number one song (or sixth, if you count the one they recorded jointly with the Gaither Vocal Band, "Love Is Like A River." Their previous number one songs were "Get Away Jordan" (January 2008), "John In The Jordan" (May 2007) and "Do You Want To Be Forgiven" (March 2006). I thought Matthew Browder's story about how the Browders completely changed a song that had already been recorded and made it into a song that is, in fact, the "Rapid Riser" on the September Top 20. So the radio version is different from the original CD version, although I suppose they might change that on newer batches of the CD. "King's Kid" was originally called "Poor Boy." And that gives more meaning to what the song says — from a poor boy to a King's kid! If you're a Southern Gospel concert promoter, please consider membership in the Southern Gospel Promoters Association, as heard on this program's Headline Update. More information about joining the SGPA can be found here. I think you would find it very helpful in many ways.

If you drop by, please say "hi" to Shelia at the Springside table in the lobby and to me (if you can find me running around between doing interviews).
