Post-Sharathon 2010- Still In Need of More Partners!

We’re praising the Lord for granting 92.1% of our total need of $170,000 thus far post-Sharathon, but as our theme stated, “greater things are still to be done!”  $156,619 of our need has been met.  Though we are grateful and humbled by the way so many took part in Sharathon to invest in the lives of many on the Western Slope, we are trusting that the Lord, who knows our need, will raise up other partners according to His riches and good pleasure. 

God is doing exciting things through this local outreach!  Please consider how you might play a part today!  If you would like to support KJOL financially this next year, please send your name, address, phone number, and the amount to info@kjol.org today!  Thanks and look for pictures of the event now online at www.kjol.org!

From The Manager’s Desk- Looking ahead...

School's back in session, summer's coming to an end and we are anticipating a busy Fall. Is 2010 racing by or what??!!

After a busy summer with vacations, NightVision, Mesa County Fair and the Palisade Peach Festival, we are looking forward to some great contests, including Women of Faith giveaways, Family Life Today's "Weekends to Remember" prizes and more. Soon we'll be talking about Operation Christmas Child, Angel Tree and Christmas programming. Again...is 2010 racing by or what??!!

We are also hoping to construct our new KJOL-FM in Montrose this Fall. The funding should be coming our way soon, and we are looking forward to completing the final steps for FCC approval. Your prayers are always appreciated!

While we still lag behind in our Sharathon 2010 commitments (and as a result, our overall year to date income) we are catching up a bit. Thanks for your loyalty and investment in local Christian radio. We continually see the faithful hand of God at local Christian radio.

Blessings,

Ken Andrews, Manager

Kurt’s ♫Music Notes♫- Classic Christian bands retire... so they can hold "Reunion Tours"?

Several classic Christian bands have retired in the last five years, including Petra, Audio Adrenaline, and 4HIM.  But old musicians never seem to die, they just get back together for "reunion tours."  And for their fans, that's almost always welcome news.  Here's news on what some of these groups are up to now, plus sad news about Dana Key.

Delirious?
    In 1992, Martin Smith and some friends began playing music at a series of "Cutting Edge" youth rallies in England.  The band became known as the "Cutting Edge Band."  They recorded some of their songs and released the "Cutting Edge Tapes."  Many of their most famous songs come from these tapes:
    "I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever"
    "Did You Feel The Mountains Tremble"
    "Shout To The North"
    "The Happy Song"
    In 1996, Martin Smith decided to take the band full-time.  He has said the name "Delirious?" has no meaning, except that it rhymed with their record and music companies ("Furious" and "Curious").
    In 2009, Delirious? played their Farewell Concert at the Apollo Theatre in London.  Since then, Martin Smith has been pursuing the Compassionart Project.  Guitarist Stu Garrard and bassist Jon Thatcher formed a new band with Jason Ingram (vocals) called "One Sonic Society."  Old drummer Stew Smith formed a graphic design company called "Smeezer."

Petra
    The patriarchs of Christian rock, Petra retired in 2005 after 33 years.  Since then, members of the original band have gotten together for a 2010 reunion tour.  It includes original lead vocalist Greg X. Volz, plus founder Bob Hartman and others. 
    Hartman has also teamed with vocalist John Schlitt to record modern worship songs under the name "II Guys >From Petra" (as in Roman Numeral II).

Audio Adrenaline
    After Audio A retired in 2006, band leaders Mark Stuart and Will McGinnis began holding worship sessions at Nashville's Journey Church.  They invited several younger members to join them and formed the "Know Hope Collective," which recorded an album of new worship songs with Integrity Music.
    KJOL has been playing Know Hope's "Attention," which contains a moving call to be still and let God speak:

    You call me here from all the things I'm chasing
    You bring me to this place to lie down
    You pull me from the wars I've been waging
    And remind me there's a table set for us
    Exhale
    Shut my eyes and make me
    Slow down and be still
    Speak
    You have my attention
    You have my attention
    You have my attention

DeGarmo & Key
    Finally, there is one reunion that will not happen until we gather on the other side.  On June 6th, Christian rock pioneer Dana Key died after suffering a ruptured blood clot.  He was 56.
    Dana Key (a direct descendent of Francis Scott Key) teamed with his childhood buddy Eddie DeGarmo to form the classic duo "DeGarmo & Key."  During the 70s and 80s, they toured with Servant, Petra, Joe English (from "Wings"), Amy Grant, Rez Band, Mylon LeFevre, and dcTalk.  At the time of his death, Dana was pastoring a small church in Tennessee.
    Eddie DeGarmo later founded Forefront Records, which featured Rebecca St. James, Audio Adrenaline, Geoff Moore, dcTalk, Big Tent Revival, and Dana Key (1953-2010).

Listener’s Corner- Passing on a Blessing, Enjoying the Music, & Cookies… Or Not!

"The Lord recently blessed me and I'm passing it on. It is important to me to know that you are going to be there when I turn the radio on!"
     Chrissy, Rifle

"I love it all.  Thanks for all you do."
      Suzannah, Grand Junction

"I enjoy your music and especially David Jeremiah, Dobson, Swindoll, Stanley, Joni Tada, and all."
     Lorraine, Grand Junction

"Have loved your programming for years, and your playful antics in the AM and afternoon.  Sorry we missed the cookies at the Fair.  God bless you all."
     John & Rhonda, Norwood
