Sorry for the delay. This really was supposed to be uploaded by Wednesday, but that didn't happen. I didn't get home till 11:15 Tuesday night, 10:15 Friday night, etc. So you are really hearing what was supposed to go up three days ago. Enjoy anyways!
Today we discuss how you can still keep a good traditional program while using a pew book whose musical content is mostly "contemporary".  We also blab (once again) about that so-called (very much dreaded, mind you) "gathering song".
