Places to look and listen:

Every year the Faith-Centered Music Association, the FCMA,
gathers for the annual Pearl Awards -- recognizing excellence in
recorded music.

This year's ceremonies in the BYU Fine Arts Center featured the
presentation of the Lifetime Achievement Award to the
very-deserving Ron Simpson.  He's an LDS musician,
songwriter, player, studio owner, teacher, music publisher,
record label general manager, columnist for Meridian Magazine,
and so much more.  A man who has made a difference in the
church and in the world with his own music and in the way he has
mentored and encouraged others.

Today we'll bring you the audio of that presentation, including
live and phoned-in comments from (in this order) country singer
Dave Lemmon, performer/writer/arranger Clive Romney,
composer/producer Merrill Jenson, studio owner Cliff Maag,
director of BYU's Living Legends Janielle Christensen, sound
company owner Joe Anderson, BYU Young Ambassador director Randy
Boothe, managing director of BYU's Tantara Records Ben Fales,
member of Diamond Rio Dan Truman, singer Wendee Jensen Truman,
songwriter/artist Mindy Gledhill,
songwriter/playwright/broadcaster Steven Kapp Perry,
songwriter/producer Staci Peters, singer/songwriter Cherie Call,
and songwriter/producer/arranger Tyler Castleton.

That's this week on The Cricket and Seagull...
