Hi Rich Fans,
Hot news from KTLI-FM Light 99!
Sunday, February 2nd at 2pm KTLI and Crucible Productions present the world premiere of "Canticle Of The Plains", an all new, original musical on the life of St. Francis written by Rich Mullins. Guest vocalists inlude Michael Tait and Kevin Smith of DC Talk. This one hour album premier will be hosted by Bob Michaels of KTLI Light 99 and Rich Mullins, and will include the entire soundtrack.
Can't pick up Light 99 where you are, you say? Oh yes you can! Remember, the station simulcasts on the internet, so fans worldwide are welcome to tap in through the station's home page at http://www.light99.com
Additional audio streams are being made available for this special event. Be sure to go to the Light 99 Simulcast Page, read the introduction (specifically the need for 28.8 or faster modem), and spend a little time making RealAudio work, before trying to jump right into the Canticle premier this Sunday.
OK, here's a couple questions that came to my mind.
Q) Is this (what we're going to hear) a CD that will be released for purchase, and if so when?
A) Yes, this is the retail version, and will be sold on Rich's upcoming Spring Tour and will be followed with a national store release later. Singles will be released to radio when the national deal happens.
Q) Is there going to be a video?
A) Not at this time, maybe some song videos, but not of the performed play/musical.
Q) Is there going to be an official "Canticle Of The Plains" tour?
A) At this time, not more than what's being included in the regular tour. There will be song books, scripts, etc. for production companies to perform it on their own.
Everybody tune in to KTLI Online!
P.S. KTLI-FM Light 99 is in Wichita, KS. We're on Central Standard Time, which is minus 6 hours from Zulu (Greenwich Mean Time).
