Some folks spend a lifetime making music. John Mays has spent his helping shape the music—and collecting some mighty good stories along the way.

On this edition of I Love to Tell the Story, we sit down with a friend whose name you may not know—but whose work has almost certainly touched your life.

If you’ve studied album credits over the past 45 years, you’ve probably seen his name. As a record company executive, he signed artists like Cindy Morgan, Nichole Nordeman, Point of Grace, and Lauren Daigle. But that’s only part of the story.

John was also a trusted bass player in the studio, playing on some of Christian music’s biggest records. And as a songwriter, he helped write Sandi Patty’s “Love in Any Language”—a song that found its way into hearts around the world.

Before all of that, there were miles on the road with the Speers and Andrus, Blackwood & Company. And if you think those years might have supplied a story or two, well… you’d be right.

We start with the music, but along the way, we meet the man. And fair warning: the longer you listen, the funnier the stories get.

Join us for a little laughter, a few unexpected turns, and a conversation with John Mays—a man with deep West Texas roots and a heart big enough to match.

In the second episode of our new podcast series, filmed and recorded live at the Museum of Christian & Gospel Music in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, we’re honored to sit down with true Christian music royalty.

In the early days of Southern Gospel, legendary groups like The Blackwood Brothers, The Speer Family, and The Rambos helped forge a path that continues to shape Gospel music today. Now, for the first time ever, the children of those iconic artists come together to share the stories, friendships, laughter, and history that grew out of a truly one-of-a-kind world.

Join Dave and Dusty as they welcome:
* Billy Blackwood, son of James Blackwood
* Reba Rambo, daughter of Buck and Dottie Rambo
* Stephen Speer, son of Ben Speer

All three share a remarkable distinction: their parents are members of the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

Recorded in front of a live audience, this unforgettable conversation is filled with never-before-shared stories, plenty of laughs, and enough Gospel music history to fill a book.

This is an episode you won’t want to miss!
