I heard them all interviewed about a year ago on NPR. Very impressive!

I've been on the list for awhile now, but now I'm jumping in with my first post. :) Just letting Laura know that there is at least one other "southie" believer down here in Chattanooga. I've only gotten to go to see Susan at the Riverbend festivaal here, worked as a stage hand for a couple of them. But anyway, I'm not one to type on and on, so I'll say take care everyone!
