CMP: Do you see yourselves continuing to pursue opportunities in the country market and expanding your reach there? Leigh: Any opportunity to expand one’s musical “reach” is a privilege. POG is extremely blown away that our song “How You Live” is getting some country radio attention. [We’re] unable to predict if it will have a long or short season, [but] we are thrilled at the opportunity. If the “door” continues to stay open, we are indeed “open” to the idea. You never know what life brings, but with a grateful attitude one can continue to dream and hope.

We are always searching for great songs, but when the demand for an expanded edition came into play, we began looking in all the corners, and with the help of Word and our very own Shelley Breen we have found three fantastic songs—songs that truly represent “real life” and follow the heart of POG. We seem to connect with writer Cindy Morgan. Wait until you hear these songs. Daddies get ready... You will need some tissue. Cindy is so in line with who we are and where we are in our season of life; she is right there with us. I think this is a sweet “marriage,” and I can’t wait for you all to hear the “ceremony.” Cindy has done it again! Thanks, girl!
Let me say, too, that POG is benefiting from the flexibility of radio right now. The lines of Christian radio, country radio, even pop radio are beginning to cross. A great song is a great song. It doesn’t matter if a steel guitar is played or a string quartet. This is the best time to be a part of the music industry. Music is so unlimited. My iPod represents all kinds of music, and I think this is the wave of the future. POG will never compromise who we stand for and why, but what we will do is go to all the world if the “world” invites us to come. Why not?
CMP: Anything else you’d like to tell readers about?Leigh: POG has been so blessed over 17 years, and wisdom will keep us in check as to the choices we are to make for the future. God has been so good to us. We are still pinching ourselves 17 years later!
