William, you and I grew up on the game street, Rayford Quarters in Phenix City..WE played and fought together. You learn to play the guitar and mastered the art of writing and performing gospel music. I will always remember how the Dixie Harming Birds took your song "Standing By The Bed Side Of A Neighbor and made millions while in town. If you listen to the music you can hear your guitar chords. You were so dedicated to performing God's Gospal music. Rest in peace my brother
