Notes of All Sorts

Alright we changed our name from CCM DL to Christian Music Summary. The site address is going to remain the same, even though part of the URL includes "ccmdl". The change was necessary, as several people wondered if we were affiliated with CCM Magazine (we aren't). The list will continue to remain the same. You will receive a summary of what is happening in Christian music, and will have an option to sumbit your reviews and opinions about Christian music. What you write may be edited, but we will print any short review or anything anyone sends to us.

Thanks, Ginger, for the Rhonda Gunn quote!! We have now officially run out of quotes. If you'd like to send any CCM quotes, hit reply to send them or e-mail ccmdl@juno.com

Remember to pray for Sonic Flood, CCM DL's Prayer Artist of March.

CAEDMON'S CALL INFO: On April 6, between 7 & 10 p.m., and April 7, between 9 & 11 p.m., you can hear the new Caedmon's Call CD 40 Acres, plus you can see exclusive interviews, photos, concert dates, and more! Just go to http://www.musicforce.com .

The CCM DL Con-TEST is simple and tricky this year. Rules are explained in detail on the page. The person with the highest score wins a CD!

Responses To TELL ME

A. What do you think is the best Christian album that you could use in witnessing to your un-saved friends?

(Christina S.) I dunno, I think that any dctalk album is a great ice breaker because their music has always been really good, and main stream has opened their ear to them. I don't personally have any unsaved friends, so I honestly couldn't say, but if I did, I would recommend dct to them definitely.

(Jason E.) I would probably use "Live and in the Can".

(Rebekah) Hmm... either dc Talk's "Jesus Freak", Shaded Red, or PFR's "Great Lengths"... all are just so powerful lyrically and musically and bring hope to your life

B. What do you think is the best Christian album that you could use in witnessing to your Christian friends?

(Christina S.) well, it depends on what they're going through. stuff like polarboy or seven day Jesus I would recommend different things [to] different people.

(Jason E.) "Live and in the Can" as well. I mean, the can is such an awesome cd and I really believe it has impacted me and the way I worship God.

(Rebekah) Shaded Red
