Jannie Venter is celebrating 36 years as a gospel music DJ for WHBB-AM. “The Host with The Most, the Triple Dose”, has hosted six hours of gospel music every Sunday for the past 36 years. In an interview with the Montgomery Advisor she talked about her listeners: Ask her how popular her show is with that audience and she breaks into a big smile because she knows how important her music is to those who rely on it every Sunday night.”I know for a fact that many of them won’t take their medication until after my show ends at midnight because they’re afraid they’ll fall asleep in the middle of it.”
If you like going to live recordings you have two to choose from this weekend. Beverly Crawford will be recording on Sat., September 19th at Faithful Bible Church in Inglewood, CA, and Darwin Hobbs will have his first live CD/DVD recording on Friday, September 18th at Oasis Worship Center in Nashville, TN.
