Psalm 150 (The Message)

Hallelujah!
Praise God in his holy house of worship, praise him under the open skies; Praise him for his acts of power, Praise him for his magnificent greatness; Praise with a blast on the trumpet, praise by strumming soft strings; Praise him with castanets and dance, praise him with banjo and flute; Praise him with cymbals and a big bass drum, praise him with fiddles and mandolin. Let every living, breathing creature praise God!
Hallelujah!

Back in the studio

X-ALT! will be returning to the recording studio tonight to record the new theme song for Nashville's longest running gospel music program. "Nashville Gospel" hit the Nashville airways over 35 years ago and was for a long time the standard by which local "religious" music programing was judged. Over the past 10 years with the change in viewing habits, and management at WSMV-TV, "Nashville Gospel" has seen it time slot changed again and again till it came to it's final resting place in the wee hours of Sunday morning basically destined to defeat by scheduling. Lack of advertising income caused by it's ever changing position led the show to stop new production about a year ago and they have been airing re-runs while trying to create new revinue but unfortunately WSMV made the decision to drop the show off the schedule about a month ago. But host Tommy Lewis is determined to get "Nashville Gospel" back on it's feet. He has begun working with a partner that will allow for new content to be shot and they have brought on a new producer/editor (That would be ME)to update the look of the show. They are in talks with another local broadcaster about picking the show up, and it continues to run in a few other television markets. X-ALT's new theme is the first step in a hoped for revival of the program. Please add "Nashville Gospel" and it's producers to you prayers and keep your eyes open for it's return. I will keep everyone updated through this blog on "Nashville Gospel" news and watch for the theme to appear here first in the next few weeks.
