March 28th brought us the A Ragamuffin Band (yes, I meant to write it that way!). So good to hear that the guys were considering regrouping and touring again. I had requested that Rick perform "Man of No Reputation" which they all did. This was an unforgettable morning. Pictured l-r: Rick Elias, me, Jimmy Abegg, Mark Robertson, and Ben Pearson.
It had been nearly 28 years since I had my first LIVE guest (as opposed to WHAT?)... it was Gary Chapman. Gary, over the years, has proven to be the most enjoyable, enlightening, and most often requested guest we've had on the show. Always fascinating stories and a heart I deeply appreciate. Gary's visit was March 21st.
Now THIS guys is a part of Christian music history! Tim Archer, along with his brother Steve and sister Janice created some of the most wonderful harmonies as only sibling can! Tim has a large place in his heart for CCM history as well. He was visiting us on March 14th to promote re-releases of some of the older Archers product as well as the DVD/CD of "The Beginnings Concert" featuring some of the extraordinary CCM pioneers. Check this project out at: www.thebeginningsconcert.com
It's so good to have friends you can count on! I found myself without a guest for the March 7th show and called my friend Jim Cole. He is always interesting and fun plus he's happy to play live music for us. The week before, Jim and I had been to visit the Tennessee Prison for Women, the following Sunday, Jim was performing in Dublin, Ireland. He's all over the place!!! Visit Jim at www.jimcoleonline.com
I met Rick Altizer about three years ago. He sent me an email about a project had produced all about scripture memorization... some REALLY great songs. A few weeks back, he let me know about his latest project "Life Worship Elements". More simply wonderful from Rick and his friends. I was pleased to have Rick and some of these friends on the show on February 28th. We had some live music as well. Check out this new project at: www.lifeworshipmusic.com  Pictured at left: Dane Allen, me, Chloe Kohanski, Rick Altizer and Jonnie Wethington.
February 14th... Valentine's Day!!! The weather in Nashville was threatening once again as it did two weeks ago but by show time we still had no snow. That meant Tammy Trent was able to make it in to catch us up on where she's been. This lady has been all over the world singing and sharing what God's been doing in her life. If you don't know Tammy's story, please find her at www.tammytrent.com and learn more about this amazing woman. Pictures at left: (l-r) Anita Rundell (Tammy's assistant), me, and Tammy Trent.

I love hearing from my friend Chris Eaton. What an incredibly gifted singer/songwriter. The biggest problem with having Chris on the show is that he lives in ENGLAND and is only in the states now and then. I was so delighted when he brought his bride in with him. Abby has an unbelievable voice and I believe we will be hearing much from her in the future. Find more on Chris and his works at www.chriseaton.co.uk and Abby at www.myspace.com/abbyscottmusic  -Feb 7

January 31st was a most unusual weather day in Nashville. In nearly 30 years of doing a live Sunday morning radio show, I found myself spending Saturday night at the radio station just to make sure I could make it to airtime. I had invited Point of Grace to be on the show that morning. Quite frankly, I was expecting them to call and cancel... but troopers they are!!! With the help of Shelley's husband David (and his tank-like SUV) Shelley Breen and Denise Jones were right on time. Leigh Cappillino did get snowed in and joined us via telephone. POG had a benefit concert to help the folks in Haiti and a new CD to talk about. Visit them at www.pointofgrace.net
I received an email from comedian Jeff Allen (as did all on his mailing list). As a way of celebrating 10 years of his wife Tami remaining cancer-free, he was training for an upcoming Music City Marathon to raise money for Gilda’s Club. (Founded by Gilda Radner and Gene Wilder, as Gilda’s last wish, they provide emotional and social support community for people with cancer and their families.) I invited Jeff and Tami to come talk about their experience. In addition, we invited folks to join in and support Jeff in this marathon by donating to this very worthy cause. Find Jeff at www.jeffallencomedy.com. -Jan 17
It was just a year ago when Chonda Pierce visited us to talk about taping a new DVD in Nashville (at the Ryman Auditorium). Would you believe it's a year later and she's ready to record ANOTHER DVD?!?!?! Personally, if it means a visit, I wish she would do several DVDs a year! She is so much fun. Her life-lessons have given her so much to share and talk about. I love having her on the show. Visit her at www.chonda.org  -Jan 10
Our first show of 2010 brought us tradition and a new friend. Steve Camp has been our first guest of the year for many years. This year we learned this may not be the case any longer. We learned in our phone conversation with Steve this morning that he has taken position as senior pastor in Palm City, FL... PLUS he got married this past year!

We made a new friend. Ginger Millermon made quite an impression bring in her latest project, "Amazed". She has an amazing story to tell as well. Please visit her at www.gingermillermon.com   -Jan 3
