The Alabama Experience; No Detours in Heaven

as bill this is better he's big chris

locally in the region he comes back the last time that i really don't know really good chicken on

the week over one hundred thousand miles a million people who says are about and that means so much the cows you knew so much of the home life when you're on the road we have five children more humane in the early years we care of them with as much as we could and if it will become a lot we would leave home with my mother and she would take care of them you missed a lot to do in the music but there again as i say when you feel like it's what the lord would have you do you mind is your duty to do it you know it must go warm because his work comes first and fenway you know families next it's big he's been

but travel all over the country and in different countries without always like to come back to alabama decides to get more content so my great grandfather is in the first grade you alison was at a neighbor's house and we rode them you were going to their house to listen to this ad not gonna walk and i heard the grand whopper know i'm new than i wanted to be a part of that kind of music and that can a program in which you know i was used to chow young boy i can see no way that that i would ever be able to do it's because because because because i worked five parish

and that a central louisiana there were twelve of us children would work on phone we share crop i will remember the way on down the first guitar i was third train and out monday and promised we've been empowered work real hard and help them pick cotton that he would die a man guitar with the first check that he got from the sale of singing and i never shall forget it because hank from animal warm that treasured bit more i guess that i'll treasure no martens and i was eight years old my dad was stricken with a heart attack and when in tacoma moments that you know the good lord sainted to my name out of the sick he recovered from that and he changed to change from a you know world music were wasted became christians

converted into the pinnacle of skill are uncomfortably deep change what we would do in uncharted one church really going to church and i would go with them and we would take our guitar man london and we'd play for the church service and you say so they about my first guitar and then in october the last month is that still the eye and i'd worry so much and it was hard for my mother you know what they do and how to help and so the opportunity presented itself through an old lady she advertised farm in her will and i answered the overtime report rumors mission remained so that i won't

really is seema he's past eighteen oh i ate the rye rye

say eight is the he's the pope the managing years old that simple have gone to revival that we'd go and play music and they have an injury sister played when i wanted to have a lot of one of the more you know cause kids you know look to have different things in place you have to go to no church would get recruited for an interview but we did it said a moment ago about the area median city utah this go with us this

week whoa whoa no more do when i was fifteen years old and she was certain was working with the evangelist and come into this country to the end of our services and we met that way and then of course in three years went by the name is are you

saying every job i've worked in the radio broadcast and we played friday night saturday night sunday morning broadcast on sunday night church service a good town of these three bc teachers someone about how they were going to

sell i was so and there will be a lot of homeowners and so i just don't need to know i just feel so this is not you know the phone to hear a farce and that would've been out here something that might not be ready to hear it what shows ryan would just that he owned and that we asked mike necessary sacrifices that were until nineteen fifty seven and he eventually american troops and he was pressed into churches with you americans

this is a nineteen fifty eight we recorded arthur supreme court decision and i do think it was a good start and we sing that god that that did sign in and church and ended a job which is gonna be too much to you know too much strain long us and all the family too so i have lived my job in nineteen sixty and when to gospel singing and preaching and in full time so in nineteen sixty was driven cancer the second worst car and he had two surgeries and critic of all treatments and was so we can still see so many

frames it back to well listen up is financially and in college has been pried pass again writer lot easier carson and turning was able to go back on the wrong flat and you know again in commercial work much room and there'd been so but i had a free hand he was a businessman and he said and i was gonna cajun to go on television and commercially for him and he said when you should go on said did you see people people would see you and hear

your music in your testimony from the lord television that might not ever go to church no matter what a sponsor offered points if we did not believe in their proud product we would not draw a cell phone and that's the sign why we were bound man who will run into office and head of the people that we knew people that were basically silent for the right than half felt like one of the grace political figures that we are all privileged tory falls ms norman wallace and that ban of course george wallace landed in we felt that we could back in normandy and we always believed in the free enterprise system we believe in gnomes diatribes i believed in latin introduce

story that worry that the lord litan an know i'm going to bet it would save our country and our people a lot of trouble if would leave it that way instead of crossing racial barriers because i think every race has its own cotton and it made it's always worth it retiring or whatever they're called for short and the whole thing in a heartbeat we review of that

scottish people and now that they will serve them well we might say blues has asylum and we wanted to always be there for the people now living in a lot of the insurgent but our policy all music's do whales but all the mystery identifiable use your own stammer government and so they and then you have you know it's yours you know you can listen to candy like and maybe that makes mandela's and the cadillacs and in his cultures one thing in malian music mirrors as another taste you know maybe an end and the british are troubling that altogether makes it all up then nobody's no one's gotta hardly anything to identify with instead in

tripoli seemed like dad was nothing cost of creatures it's doing and fix almost i know named paul ii and they can't drive the church their one night stand to offline jim to china can fiddle the name of joe stork photo my amazement it was really that sounded mainly for had a way of making sour for some hundreds for not following this would be my chance that they need in a square fan us now on in years we are going about sixty acres you know we've got about a hundred and thirty he had gotten and it's a whale of rolled up the whale i find your garden alone phone there is something about this plant and then

seen it grow let you know that this nation you know in st george bush but once they do it you know but this year only about a lot is not known require only in syria are one thing the southeast is used to preach you know

it didn't mention the countless suppose they are right in either title to do and then after all of the years the world and the sun times the amount that outcome won't weigh in the balance so the medicine that's right free living here with everything we spent a lot of time away together ever won so i only get to live eight concerts for things to

stand at home all in and there is a very unsettled long set off to the side in the cancun was with like do a second is still at home in iraq and chair watching houston blues or something he thinks banks that's there's own future of women did you enjoy it but you get tired when you come in and to have this as a hobby you say are i'm just usually trends for colorado not to inform and start checking on the catalan and i are making plans for them in it takes is a diversion from their from their signing business or if he issued new workout here was at work here for four days and you really for whom the formula we reduced any in nineteen seventy seven we had a dreadful

auto accident in jackson mississippi margie in assistance here and we all know pretty well known el yon is the rhetoric and i are we wish to stop for basically a year and it seemed like it would be so you know you do know when you don't get back in there and again i'm not what we were able to recover from an airline to go back to doing exactly what it was going as well as a worse and that was of course it was but she's said we listen to it would be better to go to go back on his voice sadly

left hand of a lot of work an hour zone and are you thinking oh man

i wanted it and i got it with dignity jason shake hands with military funeral alabama i'm going to be able to get to see him in to meet him and we have an avatar this indy took place the sullivan family and i work in a hall of famer named blossom indiana the bluegrass all aflame along with the great sets and there was the greatest honor that you know what the storm is a lot about the country music hall of fame ballot that fear that massive that be all right but that don't shoot me i wrote the right here you know what we are as they want to do that but i doubt they will do but actually you want as much as we would like for it to sanction mr real estate sign they never do number of image so and passed away just a couple years ago it takes away a certain part in it richard pickup and all but we are celebrating forty five years in bluegrass gospel music in every year than a great year we still looking forward to many more years was a fortified more years i think that

ad's debut last week made a little bit the old threatened our of the changes that we've seen but i really do have this fight that as long as there are people with feelings that there'll always be this kind of music if we ever was at and we need to stick together and hang together that time is right now as we know and love to hear this little clam true american music listed with your slave named abdul rahman now
