    Transmission 1: A "Perfect Love" Song

    Song catcher Abe Partridge facilitated a recording session late one night at a serpent-handling church in Gray, Kentucky. Pastor Andrew Hamblin, of The Free Pentecostal House of Prayer, armed with a beautiful cherry red Hummingbird, rose to the moment and belted out a red-hot version of the faith's most endearing song. Little David Play On Your Harp features Andrew's wife, Taylor, a self-taught multi-instrumentalist.  With help from his podcaster buddy Ferrill Gibbs, the two podcaster/documentarians captured what Abe calls "the greatest field recording we ever recorded." Also: "Proper" rock star David Ford gives Abe a "biscuit review" from the road. Spoiler... Abe Partridge, who's a southern US biscuit enthusiast, is highly unimpressed. Today's song link is: David Ford sings "O'Sullivan's Jukebox"
