Happy Saturday, everyone out there! Today, we bring you a classic gospel hymn, “In the Garden,” written by C. Austin Miles back in 1912. Countless artists, as with most of our beloved hymns, have covered this piece. Our version comes from country star Alan Jackson, of whom we have now covered three songs from his 2006 Precious Memories album. Enjoy the calm!

Happy Saturday to all those who stopped by today to hear our latest cover song… welcome! Jackie and I have an inspiring treat for you over the next six weeks. We’ll be publishing three Alan Jackson covers of traditional worship music that he recorded over a two-album span, entitled Precious Memories. If you enjoy listening and singing to the classics, you’ve come to the right channel. Blessings!

The First Presbyterian Traveling Diners enjoyed a delightful lunch at the "Old School Cofe'" in Vinton yesterday. We must have been a rowdy group because they seated us by ourselves in the gym. If you have never tried this wonderful experiment at rehabilitation, you must.

Happy Sunday to all our followers, and new listeners just finding us. Normally, we drop every other Saturday, but I got caught up in my son’s birthday celebration yesterday. Better late than never, and we’re glad you’re here.

This music channel features my wife, Jackie, and me, Mike. We look for music, old and new, that inspires us to be better people, in the Lord’s hope for humanity. Today, we have yet another tune we pinched from The Andy Griffith Show, circa February of 1963.

The song “Lonesome Road” was sung by Jack Prince, who occasionally played the role of Rafe Hollister. Rafe was a farmer and former moonshiner, who was as gentle a soul as you’d ever come across. For all his comically questionable acts, Rafe has a marvelous baritone singing voice and gets to use it in the episode “Rafe Hollister sings,” in an episode from season 3. One of the two songs Jack Prince sang was this one, and Jackie and I decided we had to cover it. Please enjoy!
