It was a hot afternoon in June of 1921 in Double Springs, Alabama, when a broken plow and a determined heart led a young singer named G.T. Speer to begin a new journey that would lead to one of the greatest stories in Gospel Music history.
Over a hundred years later, one of Dad Speer's grandsons, Brock and Faye's youngest son Brian sits down with Dave and Dusty for an unforgettable first-hand account of life in the Speer household.
Although this episode is a little longer than most, if you're a fan of the music, we promise you'll hear pieces of the story you won't hear anywhere else.
