| From the program
aired the weekend of Dec. 8th & 9th, 2007: |
Our month-long celebration of Christmas (the season's music and the message
it proclaims) continued on this program with the Triumphant Quartet
as our Featured Artists, with songs from their "We Need A Little
Christmas." (Of course, I think we need a LOT of Christmas, but that's
a discussion for another time.) As you heard, we managed to include six songs
from this CD on the program, including new Christmas songs and, of course,
a favorite old carol. Christmas music, it seems, can touch hearts in a unique
and special way, as David Sutton discussed regarding the song he sings,
"Jesus Is Lord." "Mary's Christmas," which Clayton Inman discussed
on the program, is interesting, too.
By the way, the Triumphant Quartet was one of just a few groups to
appear November 28th at the famous Carnegie Hall in New York City.

I enjoyed our brief on-air visit with songwriter Nathan Markee. He
and his family stopped by our studio a few weeks ago and we had a chance
to visit with this gifted young man who wrote the only song to have remained
at the number one position on the Singing News chart for two months,
"I Can Pray" as recorded by the Dove Brothers. Amazingly, this
was one of the first songs he ever wrote. I'm sure we'll hear more songs
from him in the future. You'll hear a little more of our interview with him
on Gospel 2007 In Review the weekend
after New Year's.
