My LBC Story #8:
I will not forget my going to church
one Sunday at Ashland Avenue Baptist Church and hearing the first group
of the Bluegrass Boys Quartet sing. It was made up of Bob Jones, Warren
Hartman, Larry Robbins, and Ed Kittle. Connie Kittle played the piano
for them beautifully. Their sound was wonderful. I had never heard
singing like that, especially live in a church service.
Never did it enter into my mind that
one day soon I would be playing piano for the next group made up of Bob
Jones, Demas Brubacher, Robert Carpenter, and myself as accompanist. It
was then a high privilege to be a part of this ministry of both singing
gospel songs and of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This group sang together until 1967,
when a third group came together with Bob Jones, Ronnie Wolfe, Carl
Morton, and Bobby Lakes. All of us in this group have grown from young
whippersnappers to old, gray-haired and bald men. The Lord has been so
wonderful to us in giving us good health and the ability to sing all of
these years.
This group will sing at First
Baptist Church, 119 S. Hill Street, Harrison, Ohio, on November 21, 7:00
PM. We would love to see as many people as possible. Come and listen to
these old men try to sing as they used to many years ago. God will
bless!
Use your own discretion on wearing a mask.
