JONNY LIPFORD FEATURED GUEST MUSICIAN
 
Jonny Lipford - June 2011

Alex Henderson of Billboard writes, "Lipford plays his Native American wooden flutes with plenty of charm and charisma; on top of that, his writing is consistently memorable."  Rev. brenda will give the lesson titled "WHY am I prayin'?"
