New Podcast Interview

If you haven't already done so, I hope you'll check out my latest "Wendy V's Ponder Cast" podcast where I interview composer/producer/arranger/conductor Paul Johnson. He's been in the business a long time and known for his work in Christian music and choral arrangements (Paul Johnson Singers), as well as having worked with some of the greats throughout the entertainment industry. It's certainly one of the best podcasts I've done so far. Paul is humble and articulate and addresses the joys and frustrations of being an artist which befall many of us, whether you're struggling or accomplished as much as he has. We're all floating in the same boat at times.

Admittedly, I was an FM rock and roll gal and out of the Christian music loop back in the 70's when Paul and his singers made many of the recordings which he shared with me after our interview. It was fascinating to hear some of the music which was the beginning of what we know today as contemporary Christian. Certainly the genre has evolved tremendously over the years. But, the message you'll hear in the music is timeless. You'll also hear some great voices. What's it like to be able to do that? Paul answers that question quite interestingly.
