One of the real blessings in our lives have been the close friendships we have been able to maintain over the years. Paul has kept in touch with a couple of his college buddies and they have sung together off and on at various times over the years. They call themselves The Country Boys, even though none of them ever grew up in the country or ever did any real work on the farm. Well, there was this one time Christy's dad put Paul in charge of changing water on the cotton crop out in west Texas. Paul got the pickup truck stuck in the mud checking to see if the water had made it to the end of the field. Guess what? The water was out! Guess that tells you all you need to know about how "City Boys" do things.
The Country Boys are comprised of David Hunt, Minister of Music at First Baptist Church in Dennis, TX, Barry Feriend, Elementary Music Teacher and part time Minister of Music in Weatherford, TX and me! I play the banjo, guitar and sing the high tenor parts...well, not as high as I use to mind you! David sings bass and plays the piano and bass guitar. Barry sings the lead tenor and plays the guitar as well.
Recently, the group had the honor to sing a concert at a fund raising banquet for Trinity United Methodist Church in Arlington. The banquet was held in one of the dining rooms at the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
Earlier in the afternoon, our group got the opportunity to tour Cowboys Stadium with our wives before the performance that night. Barry's wife, Ann, and David's wife, Kathi are kicking up their heels with Christy for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders auditions next year! NOT!!!
The Country Boys will be performing at Northside Baptist Church in Weatherford, TX on Friday evening, May 20, 2011. They will be sharing the stage that evening with the Southern Gospel quartet, Crimson River, pictured here. The Country Boys will also be singing a full concert on Sunday evening, May 29th at First Baptist Church in Dennis, TX.
