I send my congrats to Gordon Stoker,we have been
great friends thru the years.I think of the great
sounds of the Jordanires.I think of Cully Holt,
Bill and Monty Matthews.
Gordon needs to write a book.I think of many of the early pioneers of Gospel music,who are
all but forgotten,and never mentioned.I am also
reminded of the Original "Foggy River Boys"
