St. James YOUNG ADULTS

How do you show your love for your mother?

Would you like to hear music being played on KVSS?  How about some rock music?  Well, I'm working on creating an hour long music show that will play great Catholic artists (many whom I've featured in past Events E-mails), some local artists, and even other Christian rock songs that we don't usually hear on the local stations. I'm also hoping to get interviews with the bands.  Right now, I could use your help.  If you or anyone you know is interested in participating in the production of this show, let me know.  Also, I need a catchy name for the show.  Any ideas?
