I'm a white boy that grew up in the south and grew to love southern gospel. I can tell you if I could play and sing this like you do in a room full of black folks the roof would cave in.
Liked all your songs, and this is a stand out. Superb. We need blokes like you over here for the Byron Bay Blues Festival. You wouldn't need to buy beers.
Thanks for the kind words. Its more the plane fare to Australia Than the alcohol that I would struggle with but if I am ever over I will look up your festival. Keep on Truckin'! Chris

You can search for the Islam thru internet or reading some books
You will lose nothing
