I love the Goodmans.....yeah yeah I know....old people music.
BUT....Tiffany and I had the chance to sit and be with Howard and Vestal for quite a while before they died. GREAT and Wonderful Christian People.
Just thought I would post this as a tribute to them
I was not a Goodman fan growing up and especially not as a teen. However now that I am old I have found a new appreciation for their singing.
Howard and Vestel are buried in our church cemetary and called our church home when they were in Nashville. I remember many Sunday's seeing Vestel sitting in service so it was quite a shock when she died suddenly.
In my mom's room at the nursing home a couple of years ago someone put that Gaither video that is a tribute to the Goodman's by her VCR. I played it and was surprised at how blessed I was by the Happy Goodman Family singing so many of those great old songs.
My mother didn't have a TV in our home when I was growing up, but she played 8-tracks and records of greats like the Goodmans, Dottie Rambo, and others like Johnny Cooke (sp?--he sounded like a woman...LOL!), the Pierce's, Hinsons, Cathedrals, and so many others that I can't even think of their names, but their songs I remember well, and while my kids think they are totally gross or 'old', they bring back wonderful memories for me.
I have downloaded about 150 songs from that era, and about 50 of them are from the Goodmans. I love them all.

We used to listen to the Goodmans, Rambos, Segos, Hinsons, Hemphills, etc while getting ready for Sunday School. Then my wife would put a roast and vegetables in the oven before we left the house. When we got back home with our stomachs growling that place smelled heavenly.
I still like the Gaither videos (but I guess that's an age thing).

I have been to the CC Cemetery......I love the drive up to it....a definite touch of class.

Now the kids are grown and out of the house.
My wife and I like it a little quieter in the house on Sunday mornings.
After church we stop and eat somewhere before coming home.
