Tomorrow afternoon, I am meeting with the good folks over at 89.5/91.7 FM (Gospel/Bluegrass) to discuss my ‘Daily Devotional’ spots. My publisher, Patriot Press, generously donated 20 autographed copies of The Southern Cross and Shades of Gray to the station to use as a thank you gift for their pledge drives. I recorded 5 voice tracks (3 w/ a Fredericksburg theme and 2 with a Lexington theme). These will run for a couple months (to start) on both FM stations (WWED and WWEM) throughout the week and I am very anxious to hear the finished product after they mix in the background music and add their own opening and closing.
The devotions that I selected from my book to read are The Angel of Marye’s Heights (Sgt. Kirkland), The Good Shepherd (Rev. Tucker Lacy), Blood On The Battlefield (Clara Barton at Fredericksburg), Lee Chapel (Washington & Lee University), and Slave Sunday School (Jackson’s school for blacks). This is a great opportunity to promote my work and publisher, but more importantly, it is an opportunity to give back to an organization that blesses our area everyday by playing clean, uplifting, family music. (In other words = no Rap!)
[UPDATE 3/25: My meeting could not have gone better. What a great group of folks. Things are underway and BIG announcements are to come.]
