I Sure Do Miss Them

I don't really know why I have been thinking about this. But lately my mind has been thinking about all of the artist that turn me on to singing. I find myself picking up the phone going to call up Jim Hamill or George Younce and I have done that with many heros of mine. But then I remember that they are gone. I miss being on there bus or back stage and just talking with them. If I had an idea I would call them and ask them if they thought it would work. Many times when I thought I had come up with something new it didn't take long to realize in our conversation that they had already done that and had a T-shirt.
 
They would always let me know that it would or wouldn't work. I learn so much from them and to tell you the truth I am still learning from them. I thank the Lord that I can still pick up the phone and talk to my Best BUDDY Ed Oneal. I know that he has more days now behind him than ahead of him and I cherrish every moment that we spin together talking or playing a round of Golf. I am still taking courses at Ed Oneal Universty you know!

To me when you went to a concert and you had the Dixie Melody Boys, Kingsmen, Cathedrals, and the Rex Nelon Singers every group had there own sound and there own way of doing it. Now there are many other great groups from the past but I don't have the time to list them all.  Even when the Dove Brothers would sing on the program with those groups it would amaze me how each group could tear up the crowd. I miss those days! I know that this is a new day and we have some great singers and pickers out there and we must pave our own road with Gods help but I can't help it. I Sure Do Miss Them !!!!!!
