the weekend of Jan. 2nd & 3rd, 2010: |
This was the concluding half of our two-part
"Gospel 2009 In Review" special, counting-down the forty most
popular Southern Gospel songs of 2009 and visiting with the artists associated
with every one of those songs. "Thank you" to all of you who have
already let me know how much you enjoyed this special presentation. Now it's
on to 2010!
