Both Playing On

National Radio

Buddy Merrick and Praise

Praise's Newest Hit
Song Starts Great Run
On National Radio

NASHVILLE, TN, - Just as New Day Christian Distribution confirmed that record sales and radio play of Buddy Merrick & Praise's hit song, "Jesus Is... " is at an all-time high, DJ's across the land are applauding "Living On The Edge" as "the perfect follow-up hit."

"It's a real good song," says Joe Chioda, DJ for WPIT in Pittsburgh. Other DJ's agree, including John Mills of KSGL, Kansas City, Ken Farring of WCLC in Johnstown, TN, Bobbie Foster of WCON in Cornelia, GA, Susanna Scott of WCRH in Williamsport, MD, our great supporter Brother Don at WFCA in French Camp, MS, our old pal Bob Mundis of WGCB in Red Lion, PA, Rick Wesley of WKDO in Liberty, KY, John Baker and another great station WMIT of Black Mountain, NC, and our local gal, Sheryl Rickard of WTRM in Winchester, VA. We're even talking with Ruth Willard of WWII in Shiremanstown, PA about a station-sponsored concert in her town. We'll keep you posted.

Country format stations like Gary Lee's WEIC in Charlestown IL, are finding "Livin' On The Edge" a perfect fit to their rotation, too.

On the 'Jesus Is... " side, Lisa West of New Day said, "we continue to get phone calls and requests for accompaniment tracks and lyric sheets," as she met with Buddy in Nashville recently. As a result of the demand, Buddy Merrick & Praise has produced, and New Day distributed, new accompaniment tracks on cassette to Christian bookstores across the nation. And from now on, New Day will distribute the lyrics and Buddy Merrick & Praise will have them available at all our concerts in 1997.
