Greetings to all of You IGA listeners and songwriters and creative souls for the Lord!

It has been a heck of a week for Ken Rich and getting IGA up and running after losing the neat Jukebox. I didnt think it would be possible to out do the old one, But Ken got down and rolled up his sleeves. (sssshh - I saw the new one ... WOW!) Get Ready to have some fun uploading your songs onto the new Jukebox. Plus its got a whole lot of bells and whistles. It is a definite plus for IGA.  Nice Job Ken.

I have to admit, this week was not easy for me either. Amongest moving our websites, God's Media Army.com, The Lord's Two Ships, and our little E-Magazine "Low Country Light" It was a fast and learning week as well.  But Now lets see what the TOP TEN has to offer for this week of April 2, 2011.

Congratulations to Phil Beatty, on having the #1 song for the second week in a row. Also it is the longest running song on the chart right now.. Nice Job Phil. Our #2 Song Held by Love by Ed Petersen is a song that stands all by itself. Something about it, that sticks with you. Like the break in the second verse, the background voices are all balanced, Ed's voice is up front not so that its overbearing... Yeah, Ed .... You Raised the Bar..  a Number 1 song for sure...

The #3 song? That intro just sets off the whole song, Marty and I got a surprise visit from the Winslow Duo, A God loving couple from the start ... and it shows in their songs.  Remember the Song "Growing" it finally fell off the chart this week. I kinda miss that song already ...

You gotta hear "T" Roy's song "Got a New Life". It'll Wake You UP!  for sure.. what I like about it is that, it reminds me of the new life I got when I accepted Jesus into my life at 45. The life in this song is right there. The roughness of the newbie just coming into Jesus Christ. The Energy of that new life ... the excitement .. "T"Roy Taylor managed to bring it all into one song .... "Got a New Life" ... Keep it coming brother... nice job on having the #4 song

Rachel Belman did it again... now Im jealous.. I mean come on.. Im 64 now ... and I was writing secular stuff that wasn't bad but never got anywhere. I started writing for the Lord in 90, accepted Him in 91.. Here this lady Is bringing to table some awesome stuff. "Never the Same" listen to the words.. it'll get to ya.. and oh, you will always be ... "Never the Same"... Congrats Rachel....

Funny.. for the last couple of weeks we have had two songs on the chart with almost the same title. "Never be the Same" by the Winslows and "Never the Same" by Rachel.... Lord? you sending a message here?

But I have to admit ... the one that will steal the show this week? Is one you wouldnt even guess would have even made the chart, except for one thing .. The Heart, the Words and the personalness within the Song. "You Bothered with Me" by Angela Dittmar ... watch out for this song, I think its gonna sneak up there...  There's no doubt where her heart is...  Nice job Angela

All the songs ... Here my Flory, I love to praise Your Name, "911" , "Jesus is Knocking at your door" , I could go on and on .... Not to mention our Bullet song of this week, "Hands of God" by Joe Wamsley, and our Honorable mention song. Desires of My Heart" by Patricia Skinner.. What a great list this week...

I pray you all enjoy the music on JB's Top Ten for 04-02-11... Blessings to you all, In Him,  James
