Here is an updated list of stores carrying the Canticle Of The Plains CD -
New Day Christian Distributors has also picked up this project so if your local bookstore can buy through them, they can get the CD. Family Bookstores is a national bookstore chain that orders through New Day, and they are running a big promotion on the Canticle.
In other news, we noticed that CCM Update listed Rich's death as the most impacting
event on the industry in 1997.
(see http://www.ccmcom.com/ccmupdate/97_12_22/news.html).
That is all the news for now.
Happy New Year.

Here is an update from Bob at Light 99...
KTLI will be re-airing the Rich Mullins tribute produced by "20" The Countdown Magazine twice in the coming weeks. The first is New Years Eve at 8pm. This will immediately follow our 10 hour countdown of the top 97 songs of the year from 10a-8pm. During the last half hour of the show we will name our 1997 Man Of The Year. Rich & Mitch are both finalists. I also pay tribute to Rich by asking my friend and regular "20" host Jon Rivers to read a special chronology I've written of Rich's last year with us. The members of the list may wish to catch a live stream and hear the broadcasts. The second airing of the Rich "20" tribute is the weekend of January 9th, at 10pm CST Saturday night, and noon Sunday. This is the regularly scheduled "20" for that weekend so those who get the show on their local ccm station can catch it on the radio. Note- those wishing to catch a live feed will want to remember that we have only 50 streams We are moving to the new URL, http://www.light99.com, on or about January 12th.
Rose Capanna informs me that the Lightmusic Tribute aired last month (see [RichMailList 180]: LIGHTMUSIC Special scheduled) will be rebroadcast New Year's Day on Cornerstone Television (CTV). If you have a satellite dish you can catch it there. If not, you may be able to see it on one of the affiliates. Check the station guide at http://www.dhp.com/~ashley/lightmusic. In the "We're Not Here" section there is a list of stations that air CTV programming but don't carry LIGHTMUSIC. They listed them so that if there is a station in your area you may ask them to consider showing the tribute.
