This is the week of November 19th, 2007
NEWS ALERT: Breath of Life now starts on Sunday midnight (meaning early Monday morning). Schedule changes have made it necessary for us to turn over on Sunday midnight rather than on Saturday midnight. Everything else remains the same. Classics this week are by Jimi Hendrix on the soft side. Contemporary African vocals from Gerald Toto, Richard Bona, and Lokua Kanza plus four Cover versions (Etta James, Gabrielle Goodman, Imani and Patti Austin) of Jevetta Steele’s "Calling You." Give thanx.
