For the first time in nearly four years, we have a Catholic Lost 45 to spin, brought to you courtesy of the same guys that gave us Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty. The hymn is Hosanna to the Living Lord by Reginald Heber and John Baccheus Dykes. And lately, my pastor has been programming it at our parish.  Also, the iSNARK! Studio is invaded by babies, more on the revamping of Psalm 151, and the iSNARK! has re-taken up the sport of bowling!
