_ _ _ 50 years ago, Bill and I were at that very first Dove Awards ceremony. _
And Bill got the award for Songwriter of the Year. _ _
We've written hundreds of songs since then, and it gives me so much satisfaction to know
that some of those have stuck to the wall and are still _ ministering to believers across the country.
_ I brought this out here because _ _ _ to recall a few of those moments that we have had since
then, _ some of the fraternity of past members of the vocal band, Michael English, David
Phelps, Mark Lowry, Russ Taft, as well as our friends _ _ Matt Maurer and Bart Millard, _
are going to join the vocal band.
And so now welcome one of my favorite groups, the Gaither Vocal Band. _ _ _ _
