David April, host of “The Gospel Train” radio program, reports:
“Governor Ed Rendell dedicated several blocks of Poplar Street near the
old Met Theater in Philadelphia as Dixie Hummingbirds Way. The ceremony was followed by a cd release party for The Dixie Hummingbirds: Still
Keepin’ It Real/The Last Man Standing.”
