This is a great sight. Harry Peters understood you when you said, "I would also like to say I started blogging to uncover the reasons why I have remained interested in, and engaged with, a form of music from a world and a way of life that, in most other respects, I left behind half a lifetime ago." I think that rings true for a lot of us, I KNOW it rings true for Harry and Fonda Peters. If we could pin-point the "it" factor that Southern Gospel Music has, a great mystery would be solved for me. I know people who have left the church and who are not walking with God...yet they still hold on to SG music and listen to it. Harry Peters remembers Tom Fettke (The Majesty and Glory of Your Name composer) telling him one time "nobody in churches today likes Southern Gospel Music." And then with a pregnant pause, he continues..."except the people." Anyway, now that all of the holy (not) Christmas crap is over, we can look toward Harry Peters favorite holiday...EASTER! Without it, the world would have long forgotten just another little Jewish baby boy named, Jesus. Avery,

Now, i must admit, i chuckled at the inherent irony of the title, but then asked myself why would anyone play thins song over the air? Why waste valuable airtime to assault my intelligence and musical taste. I thought enlighten was supposed to be a "gospel" station. They also played "Mele Kahlikihaka" (sp?) by the Kingdom Heirs. I mean seriously, just because it is on the Christmas CD does not mean that you HAVE to play it. Was anyone else listening to enlighten the other day when they played Kirk Talley’s “Fruitcake”?

It is one thing to want to shut down or out things that are morally objectionable (i.e. porn) and so on, but to want to shut something down just because that person apparently finds nothing of value here anymore seems silly. If they don't like it, don't come. There are still several other readers here who seem to find something here to read or talk about. #107 I agree.

I actually tried to post a comment saying the exact same thing you said there but for some reason Doug decided he didn't want to let mine through. I had just come to the conclusion that he loved to talk about others, but would censor anyone who tried to say anything about this now horribly useless, hardly ever updated blog. I will surprised if he even lets this one through.... OK so who's gonna start a new blog? #103,

The over-all strength of his voice has faded, but this is normal for a singer that sings in such a dynamic fashion. Same thing is going to happen to Jason. It's just the way it is. :( Mike has always had the stage presence, the ability to move a crowd..he is an awesome performer, and a great talent also.
