Today's podcast is a little longer than normal. That is because we will be discussing the results of a survey conducted by the National Pastoral Musicians, called Songs that Make a Difference. The Top 25 of the survey was reported in Catholic newspapers and in blogs, including the Christus Vincit blog. We'll also review the music we played for the Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time.

Music:
1.Remember, Lord, Thy Servants (written by yours truly)

2. The Call, by flautist Jayme Rayne, courtesy of Podsafe.

Parody Time: A collection of Mass Setting Title parodies and their descriptions, compiled by Jay Ricketts and myself.
Commercials: The Voice of Mary, Disciples with Microphones.

What good is a show without that occasional "guest pest"? You know, the one that tries to make YOU the straightman for HIS jokes? Well, we have one today. You get to meet the Christus Vincit Leprechaun. He does have some good points. He did present today's episode of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (today it's dedicated to the beginning of Psalm 19 and brought to you by Haugen-Haas Ice Cream). This zany schlep also replays his promo.

Today we finish off our "Tour d'IGMR" with the Dismissal, the "Unofficial Recessional Hymn", and "Oops, I forgot the Credo". We also briefly touch on Radiating Christ (cover at left), a CD tributing Alexander Peloquin.

Commercials: iPadre, Disciples with Microphones.
