I remember when...

[Barb]

At the risk of hearing CC1 say that I am older than dirt...

I remember when my momma was the director of the Jr. Choir...every Friday night, regardless of weather, illness, or crying child, she was there.

I remember when McDonalds first opened here and daddy would stop on Friday nights before mom's choir rehearsal.

The hamburgers were 15 cents...hamburgers, cheeseburgers, fries, Coke, and shakes...that was all they sold back then.

I remember when we would sing the Spirit would move through the church. Mom taught us songs that stirred the heart of the listener and us as well...though we didn't realize it at the time.

I remember when our house was filled with the sound of The Blackwood Brothers and Statesmen, as well as Doris Akers and The Sky Pilot Choir and Roberta Martin.

All of this gave me an appreciation for music that has enriched me in ways I cannot begin to describe...
