Rick Shelton, Director of Publishing at Daywind Music, expresses, "Daywind Music Publishing is privileged to serve the 2010 BMI award winning songwriters who were recognized for the most performed songs on Southern Gospel Radio. We are proud of these writers and this tremendous achievement. We are also incredibly honored to have participated in the development of the Dove award winning Bluegrass song, ‘When We Fly.’ Within it is the message of hope when our faith finally becomes sight.
