From the broadcast the weekend of July 19th & 20th, 2008: Our Featured Artist on this program was Janet Paschal with songs from her current "Sounds Like Sunday" CD. Janet's been well known to Southern Gospel music fans ever since the late 1970s when she joined the LeFevres, a group which soon became the Rex Nelon Singers. Then 21 years ago she decided to launch a solo ministry, and that's what she's been doing ever since. A bout with breast cancer a few years ago slowed her down for a while, but now she's as busy as ever. Her current radio song from that CD, "I See A Crimson Stream," is unusual in that the radio version of the song is just a bit different from the CD version. The radio version also includes Sheri Easter and Charlotte Ritchie, mostly singing harmony. We explained why on the air. The song is described by their record company as "a traditional 19th century hymn arranged in a Celtic and Appalachian style." OK. But all I know is... it sounds good. Janet Paschal's CD featured on this program, "Sounds Like Sunday," is available from our mailorder service, Springside. Just call 1-800-38-MUSIC to order. You can order easily from our webstore by using this link to go directly to this item. (Orders over $40 in the USA qualify for free shipping.) I always enjoy visiting with Shannon Bunch, as we did on this program's Artist Spotlight segment. One of the songs we included, "Lord, I Thank You For The Valley," is Shannon's current radio song from his "Take Me There" CD, his seventh album. Shannon's fascinating biography is posted on his website, www.shannonbunch.com, which explains the significance of that "Take Me There" title and why it has meant so much over the years. Shannon's e-mail is shannon@shannonbunch.com. Did you enjoy hearing once again the voice of the late Rusty Goodman, our "Yesterday's Voices" feature for this week? That was from an interview recorded back in 1983, and, amazingly, I think I remember the actual circumstances of the interview. It was well after midnight in a basement meeting room of the old Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, TN, where the National Quartet Convention was still held at the time. We were both worn out, but Rusty was in a talkative mood. I think he actually yawned in the middle of one comment. (Of course, that got edited out.) But he seemed even more reflective and introspective than usual that night and I learned a lot about the heart of Rusty Goodman during that interview. We'll have more "Yesterday's Voices" features in the weeks ahead.
