	1	2	3	4	The group AVALON is so much fun! I love having them on the show anytime their very busy schedules will allow. This was our first visit with the gang since the new guy joined. Besides meeting Jeremi, we listened to the brand new CD, "Another Time, Another Place: Timeless Christian Classics". Enjoy this interview from March 9,2008.

Michael Hour 1	Michael Hour 2		March 2, 2008 was a big day- interview-wise. Michael English had just released his latest project, "The Prodigal Comes Home". He was incredibly candid as he shared his story. Also, Larry Norman died last week (2/24). I assembled a few of Larry's friends to reminisce. We played Larry's music and heard great stories from studio guests Jim Cole, Steve Camp, and Phil Keaggy (on the phone).

As a bona fide baby boomer, I love the music of the 60's & 70's. My telephone guest on December 23, 2007 was a guy who was from his ivory tower in Los Angeles pretty much shaping the music I was listening to as a teenager all the way in Miami, FL. Ken Mansfield was a record exec with Capitol Records in 1965. From there he worked with top acts in rock, pop, country, and Christian music. He has an amazing history in the music industry which is chronicled in his new book, "The White Book". On an entirely different level, a truly eternal level, he met Jesus years later while living in Nashville. Here's a 19 minute interview with Ken. Click HERE to listen.

1	2	3	If you are not already a fan of actor Jim Caviezel, this interview just might change that. This man is very passionate about his work... also, and especially about God's word. Enjoy this interview from October 14, 2007.

Rick Cua was our guest on Feb 25, 2007. He had a concert that night. I was hoping just for a visit and to talk over old times. I was thrilled to find out that Rick was just about to release a brand new project and allowed us to premiere the new CD. You can listen to the interview, commercial-free: HOUR ONE and HOUR TWO

Andrew Peterson	1	2	3	4	5	I do like to keep Christmas traditions! Especially ones like this. Gary Chapman and his brother Keith dropped by on December 11, 2005 for their annual visit. In addition, Andrew Peterson came in to invite listeners to his musical at the Ryman that night and Steve Taylor was there to talk about an upcoming film.	Steve Taylor

	Cut 1	Cut 2	Cut 3	Cut 4	Cut 5	A true music pioneer... not just Christian music, but in the Jesus Movement and mainstream pop/rock music as well... Chuck Girard paid us a visit on July 3, 2005. We could have easily filled several more hours with talk of his past in secular music (his group, The Hondells had a top 10 hit in 1964 with "Little Honda"), being a hippie in Hawaii, eventually getting saved and being a member of the early Jesus Movement group, Love Song. We promised to have a follow-up interview soon to have him finish his story!
	Cut 6	Cut 7
	Cut 1	Cut 2	Cut 3	Cut 4	Cut 5	Steve Camp was the first guest of 2005 (as he has been the first guest in recent years past). His comments have sparked controversy and debate. You may agree or disagree but you have to appreciate his lack of fear to speak up. (Apologies for having to turn the tape over during an important point in segment 4.) Jan 2, 2005

	Cut 1	Cut 2	Cut 3	Cut 4	Cut 5	When listeners tell me about the programs they enjoy and remember best, the annual visits from Gary Chapman and his brother Keith rank among the highest. Enjoy this tradition as we catch up with Gary and find out about his latest projects. December 19, 2004

	Cut 1	Cut 2	Cut 3			Pat Boone joined us for a short visit on Nov 2, 2003. Even tho the time was short, you get a history lesson (ancestor Daniel Boone), a civics lesson (the US Constitution) and a lot more!
	Cut 1	Cut 2	Cut 3	Cut 4	Cut 5	It hit me during the show that Gary Chapman was making this visit on Mother's Day (5/11/03)... his first since his mom went home the day after Christmas 2002. He brought with him the recording from her funeral. I am so glad we did this. Listen to this shorter-than-usual and more sober-than-usual time with Gary and I think you'll agree... Mary Chapman's life goes on!
	Cut 1	Cut 2	Cut 3	Cut 4	Cut 5	On May 4, 2003, we had a very special visit from Ken Mansfield and his wife Connie. Ken is the former head of the Beatles' Apple Records in the US. Listen as we discuss his life, the Beatles, his involvement in the New Age movement, and his coming to Jesus.

	Cut 1	Cut 2	Cut 3	Cut 4	Cut 5	A Christmas tradition I look forward to each year! Gary Chapman and his brother Keith drop by for an annual visit. It's a blast, and here's the proof. You be the judge... who sings the best- Gary or Keith?!?!? (cut 3) -Dec 15, 2002

	Cut 1	Cut 2	Cut 3	Cut 4	Cut 5	Each year in September, since 1997, we devote a show to the memory of Rich Mullins. As much as his music still impacts us, his life continues to challenge us... not to be like him, but to really know that God uses imperfect things to draw us to Jesus. After an incredible concert the previous Friday night at the Lighthouse Coffeehouse, Jim Smith (author of Rich's devotional /biography "An Arrow Pointing To Heaven"), his wife Meghan, and Rich's long-time friend, Kathy Sprinkle joined us to share their memories of Rich.

	Cut 1	Cut 2	Cut 3	Cut 4	Cut 5	Phil Keaggy dropped by the show on July 21, 2002. It's always a pleasure to have Phil on the program. On this day, as is his usual practice, Phil brought in new music to hear... some never recorded and released... some to be released soon. Enjoy this time with a true master musician, and good man!

	Cut 1	Cut 2	Cut 3	Cut 4	Cut 9	Jan 13, 2002 was a great day!.. largely because of a visit from a man I admire. I had heard of Arthur Blessitt as a teenager in Miami, FL when he would come to town to preach. Hear his amazing story. Rounding out the morning in a very fine way was Two Or More and Pat Flynn. Enjoy!

	Cut 1	Cut 2	Cut 3	Cut 4	Cut 5	One of the things I like best about my job is the pleasure I get in world premiering great Christian music to my audience. Such was the case on Nov 4, 2001 when Gary Chapman brought us "Circles and Seasons". It's Gary at his best! For a big plus, Mark Schultz stopped by to plug his concert that night. (So sorry that the tape ended before the end of the interview!)

	Cut 1	Cut 3	Cut 5	Cut 7	Cut 9	A Christmas-time tradition. Gary Chapman and his brother, Keith joined us on Dec 17, 2000. We learn lots during their visits: the dangers of coffee creamers, most frequent questions asked airline pilots, plus much more. My buddy David Crabtree dropped by as well. (My apologies, the tape ran out on side one and I missed an entire segment.)

Several months of The Brian Mason Show in 2006 were pre-recorded due to illness. I was diagnosed in 1999 with Meniere's disease. It is a cruel disease that often results in total vertigo with little or no warning. Thanks to the kindheartedness of Mix 92.9, I was able to provide the shows as I could work on them during the week. I appreciate the understanding and patience of friends, listeners, and the tremendous support of my family at Nashville's greatest radio station, Mix 92.9!
