Listener Email:

Love your shows here on WAVU. It's a delight to turn the radio and hear great music and even better people. Keep it up.

Hi Jim, we remember you  when you sang with Jack Toney and Tim Riley as the Southmen. We now live in Canton, OH but was back in Gadsden last week and heard WAVU and now listening daily via Internet. Praise God for the joy of Southern Gospel. I now lead and sing lead in a SG quartet here in Canton at The Brothers of Grace. What a blessing!

May 29th Barry Holcomb (Granny's Grandson) took WAVU's Beecher Hyde for a visit. Granny, an 84 year young widow, was thrilled. It was quite a thrill for Beecher also as Granny Patterson listens regularly. Thank you Granny, a most gracious lady.
