5th Annual Old-Time Christmas

Do you miss the beautiful Christmas carols and songs that you heard as a child? Would you like to have this kind of music playing in the background as family and friends come together to celebrate Christ's birth, or as you work around the home or workplace? If so, we invite you to join us throughout December as OTCR brings you our 5th annual Old-Time Christmas.

We are blessed to have collected some of the most beautiful Christmas songs by some of your favorite artists, and we will be mixing those with our usual songs throughout the first part of December. We will also have greetings from some of our artists, and Bible reading of the Christmas story.

Then beginning around 5:00 PM EDT on Christmas Eve, we will feature 24-hours of nothing but Christmas songs, carols, and songs that exalt our Lord Jesus Christ,

We invite you to be with us for this most special time of the year, and a very Merry and Blessed Christmas season to you and your family,

Thanks to the Artists

Many artists have submitted music to OTCR over the past few years. For that we are very appreciative.

We wanted to take this opportunity to list some of the things that OTCR offers to artists who submit their music to our station:

1. Their music played several times per month on our rotation playlists. We play most if not all cuts from most CDs we receive
2. The name of the artist or group listed on our website Welcome Page for two or more weeks
3. The CD that is submitted listed on our Music Submissions page
4. A link to the artists' website listed on our Recommended Links page
5. A possible selection as our Artist of the Month
6. The artist name and song title displayed in the LoudCity and Winamp player window for the listener's view

If you would like to submit music to OTCR for review for airplay, please email us at otcr1@earthlink.net

Happy Goodman Family CDs

As some of you may know, I am a big fan of remastered CDs, which many times are older LPs that have been digitized. Several artists have reissued their LPs in the form of CDs in the past few years. We have a page with some of these artists' CDs listed. (See Artist Pages Link above)

Well, we have found another goldmine of classic Southern Gospel music remastered on CDs. Rick Goodman and the folks at Goodman Family Ministries have reissued several of the vintage Happy Goodman Family albums. In addition, they have several of the later Goodman Family and Vestal Goodman CDs available.

If you want some great music, not to mention historic memories, be sure to visit www.vestalandfriends.com or give them a call at 1-800-717-7773 and order some of these wonderful CDs for your home, business, and vehicle.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours
