the weekend of Nov. 7th & 8th, 2009: |
 Our Featured Artists on this broadcast
were the Anchormen from Goldsboro, NC. We've been interviewing the
Anchormen for most of the thirty years we've been doing our broadcast, and
a lot of top talent has gone through this group. Today's Anchormen are no
exception. They are Keith Casstevens, Karl Rice, Michael
Bartlett and Paul Harkey. As they explained on the program, they
feel comfortable with a somewhat more country sound than they've been in
the past, but they promise not to abandon their Southern Gospel harmony roots.
Their new radio single, "All In A Sunday's Work," reflects that. I
enjoyed the message of the Ronny Hinson song they included, "Everything
But Time." And "Grace Is There" is a powerful reminder that, as
the old hymn says, God's grace is greater than all our sins.
As you heard, the Anchormen have graciously provided 100 copies of
their new "Always A Road" CD to giveaway. The online entry blank can
be found below.
 If you prefer a sure thing, the CD by the Anchormen
featured on this program, "Always A Road," is available from our mailorder
service, Springside. Just call 1-800-38-MUSIC to order. Call by Friday, Nov.

 Bluegrass Gospel may or may not be a favorite of yours, but the
Lewis Family had a way of endearing themselves to most Gospel music
fans, regardless of precise musical preferences. I mean, who could not
like Little Roy Lewis? As you know, the group officially retired the
first weekend in September, due to failing health on the part of some members
of this group, which really was all family. On the very day of their final
scheduled concert, Little Roy and Janis talked with us about
their career, their music, their decision to retire and, in Little Roy's
case, what his future plans are. Excerpts from that interview were on the
special Artist Spotlight segment on this program. The Lewis Family will be
missed and fondly remembered. (Special thanks to my brother, John, for
doing this interview while I was 50 miles in another direction recording
other interviews.)
 On the
Headline Update you heard from concert promoter Wayne Dyck and
from Ernie Haase about the growth of Southern Gospel music in Canada.
We're especially happy to hear about that because our program airs on several
Canadian radio stations. Wayne is part of the group that puts on the big
Gospel Music Celebration each summer in Red Deer, Alberta. More info about
that can be found at
www.gospelmusic.ca.
Information about the Collingsworth Family's special concert series
(mentioned near the end of this program) can be found
here.

| From the program
the weekend of Oct. 31st & Nov. 1st, 2009: |
 When Ivan Parker, our Featured
Artist on this program, was talking about the title of his new CD,
"Unity," he mentioned that one thing he likes to do is find good songs
that have been released previously by, for example, a Contemporary Christian
artist, and then to bring that song into the Southern Gospel area by recording
it his way. That means songs with good messages that may have been overlooked
by Southern Gospel fans can get new exposure in that field. As I mentioned
on the program, if anybody can do that, it's Ivan Parker. Ivan has been able
to cut across various Gospel music genres quite nicely, thanks to the quality
he brings to everything he does. An example of that, in fact, as he explained,
is his current radio hit, "Favorite Song Of All." Once you grasp the
concept behind the lyrics, it's a really neat song that will get you thinking
about the things in which God delights.
Ivan Parker's CD featured on this program,
"Unity," is available from our mailorder service, Springside. Just
call 1-800-38-MUSIC to order. Call by Friday, Nov. 6, 2009, ask for the "Featured
Artist Discount," and get 20 percent off this item. You can order easily
from our webstore by
using this
link to go directly to this item. Note, too, that our "Featured Artist
Discount" applies to any other currently in-stock recordings by this artist.
When you order online, when you get to the "Checkout" page, find the "Special

20 percent" to get the discount. Note that the discounted price will not
be reflected online or in your first confirmation e-mail, but it will be

It was great to hear from Taranda Greene on this program, talking
about how she and husband Tony are doing since she donated a kidney
to him. It's particularly amazing that, as she said, doctors told her that
only twins normally provide as good a match as they did for transplanted
organs. Isn't it great to see the hand of God at work?
The Gospel Music Association, based in Nashville, is the "umbrella"
organization championing all forms of Christian music. As you heard on the
Headline Update, they are restructuring better to utilize their resources.

These "Current Information" listings are dated to correspond to the
program that is provided to stations to air on a specific weekend. Sometimes,
for whatever reason, a few stations may inadvertantly air the wrong
program—a week early or perhaps late. That is why you might be hearing
dated references on the program that don't make sense, including references
to future or outdated giveaways. Fortunately, this kind of occurrance is
very rare. But please let us know
if you notice this happening regularly on your local station.
