Coming on the broadcast the weekend of April 19th & 20th, 2008:
This will be a "first" in the Featured Artists department, because three groups will be — together — Paul's Featured Artists: Jeff & Sheri Easter, the Lewis Family and the Easter Brothers. All three groups are on a new "We Are Family" CD and DVD, songs from which will be included on this broadcast. This is the first time these three groups — related by marriage through Jeff & Sheri — ever recorded together.
 
OTHER INTERVIEWEES: Ernie Haase (who tells how disaster was narrowly averted recently in the studio); Candy, Mary Jane and John (of the Pfeifers, about their latest radio song and a new evangelistic effort).
 
ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Paul will have an Artist Spotlight segment with the legendary Chuck Wagon Gang, a group which, despite membership changes over their more-than seven-decade history, has amazingly maintained the group's traditional and highly-identifiable sound and style.   You'll hear four songs from their current "I Have A Prayer" CD, including their new radio song, "I'm Rejoicing." You'll enjoy this!
