It’s been a year of change for Cephas Hour. Cephas Hour’s ninth year of providing the finest Christian music and pop to listeners began with the show being removed unceremoniously from its Internet radio station. I continued to host the show, even though it was somewhat offended, and moved it to a podcast format.
Being cut off from radio has actually been a blessing. No longer worried about either trying to maintain show length at strictly an hour or feeling pressured to play all ‘80s all the time, I’ve stretched out and embraced a small but growing list of new artists creating music and sharing ministry far above the usual formulaic praise and worship schlock currently permeating Christian music. This has been done without slighting the artists and music from the ‘70s, ‘80s, and early to mid-‘90s that has provided so much of the soundtrack to our lives. The friendships I have made with classic and new artists are priceless, and I promise to keep going. We can only hope it’s at least another couple decades.
And so, I’m wrapping up year nine of Cephas Hour with its first-ever year in review edition. Which I couldn’t do before, because had I done so, I would have had to have invented a time machine and gone back to 1987.
