Speaker 6 (04:39):
I read your bio and uh uh, But I want
you to tell the people, how did you get started
in this, you know, in the ministry with the with
the fantaxis spiritual voices.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
How did you all come about?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Well, you know, we've been singing for years and we've
got a rich history from our beginning. Two of the
brothers in the group, their grandmother was a piano player
down in Wilson, North Carolina, Miss Fanny Boone, and she
was an awesome, awesome piano player, played for all the
churches in the neighborhood. And I was in a little
town called Curry, North Carolina, down near the outer banks
(05:16):
of North Carolina, and my grandfather was a singer. So
I was a little boy laying at the floor at
my grandfather's house. And a lot of the young people
might not understand what real to real music is, but
my grandfather had music on real to real and I
was sitting the floor and watched those wheels turn listening
to the Jackson Southern Ears and the Swiney Quintet, just
(05:37):
the name of a few back in the day, watching
Big Red singing how Much Do I Owe Him? In
Percy and the late Great Huet Williams and Frank singing
Teddy Bear. I thought that was amazing as a little kid,
just listening to those great singing back in those days.
So I've been singing ever since I was about ten
years old, and I started singing tenor when I was
(05:57):
about fifteen, and I was a little young fella then,
so I could get way to the sky and the
scream girl loud and got a little bit of agent
when that on came.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Collared like I used to. But I still give God praise.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
We're still making that noise, still making that noise, still
making that the Lord. I remember back in the day
I can hang out with Lenny Williams up down that note,
you know.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
But you know, but uh, you.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Know, these days, I have to keep it where I
can get it.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
You're to praise the Lord, yes sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
But you've had an amazing journey, you know, in this
gospel music thing. You know, uh, you know some of
the catch that you you know, mentioning. You know, my
father used to you know, listen to him, you know,
and when we were growing up, you know, so Mississippi
blind Boy Jackson selling there Mighty Clouds and you know,
(06:50):
you know, oh yeah, oh man, yeah, man, you know,
and the Violentaires.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Of course I was a volunteer fan from a kid.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah, that was that old good music back in the day.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
You know. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
We used to have Battle of the Quartets in my
area on Sunday afternoons. The quartets would come in town
and they were they would just battle, and uh, you know,
I remember Paul and Willie coming to Elizabeth City and
the Violent Airs were coming, the Clouds were coming, and
uh just to to to hear those guys sing, and
(07:24):
it was just a blessing to be able to go
because there was a time when we didn't really have
a lot of money in the house to be able
to force tickets to go.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
But when we were able to go, we thoroughly enjoyed that.
Hear those guys sing.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
It ain't that amazing. People got all kind of money
today and they want they don't want to go, you know,
but don't want to go back in the day that music.
But that music was so powerful.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
It was powerful. Yes, it was very powerful.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I mean because as a little boy, you know, I
remember being mesmerized.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
You know, n boy, you know, and and I was like,
how do will they do that?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
You know, and and and never knowing that one day
I'll be up and somebody would be, you know, saying
how you do bad?
Speaker 5 (08:07):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
But it's that's why it's that annointing man that annointed
just where you're proud, you know.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Yeah, I used to be.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I used to be excited about going to see the
busses pull on the ground and and all the guys
would come to those big eagle busses and and they
had the names on the side, and we'd be outside
looking at the busses and we were just and everybody
travel up down the road and cars and vans, no
busses anymore.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
So I'm telling a.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Lot has changed.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yeah. We we were missing out on a whole lot,
you know.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I mean it's modernization, you know. Were missing out on
a lot, man, you know, but a whole lot. But
but now we do have the airways where we can
where we can you know, dominate the airways if we
would take advantage of it, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
And uh yeah, So so now.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
North Carolina, do you you still hang out in Carolina now,
you know, I mean from Georgia, you know, yeah, I know.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Yeah, we still we still hang out in Carolina.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Uh, down in the Wilson area, and we're close to
the Rocky Mount where Luther Barnes is at, so we
see Luther from time to time. Yeah, he's he's still
in Rocky Mount. And of course his cousin Wanda and
Deborah that sang with him. They they're performing and of
course one is a minister now. But down in Wilson
where the two brothers are from, brother Maurice Morgan. He
(09:29):
played guitar for the violinais he played for the keynotes.
But he's from from Wilson as well, so he's in
Mississippi right now. And uh uh, he was one of
our family. Members of his family joined my church and
members of my church, so we still have a lot
of a lot of history there. Of course, Uh a
couple of violinairs.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
They was from North Carolina. They come back and forth.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
And then of course Slim's Supreme Angels, Big Mike and all.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
They're not far from us in Sanford, North Carolina.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
So uh we can being rolling about an hour and
a half from where we live and at times, and
you know, so we we we have a lot of
good singing in Carolina. Of course, the McDonald's sisters are
here too in Fayetteville, and uh yeah, we we we
still we still have some good rich old We still
have some good gospel concerts in Carolina. And we've learned
(10:20):
how to to do a concert and to make the
music to a point where we can hear a sing
that we don't have to sing over the music, but
the music can come beneath us. So people can't hear
the words. A lot of people get hung up in
the music. But you need to listen to the words
of a song. For the words of the song, it's
what makes a difference in our lives.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Amen, you know, I my my my thing is country
gospel music and.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Yes, heard, I've heard you before.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I like country because of the stories. I love telling
the stories of the song, you know. And so we
find a lot of time where, you know, where normally
people are shouting and you know, when I'm singing, there
sitting there listening because they're listening to the story, you know, right,
And which is truly amazing, because I've had people say, man,
(11:10):
that music just it did something to me. It changed
something to me, you know, And which is what we
are here trying to do.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
We have trying to draw people to Christ, you knows exactly.

How did that come to be?
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Well?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Uh, right on time came from one of the brothers
in the group. And of course all of us we
sit down, we put lyrics together, and we we we
make our own songs, we make our own music.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
We have our own studio protoun music productions.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
And right on time actually came from brother Tim Boone,
who is our baritone singer.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
He was in the hospital, had a.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Heart attack, massive heart attack in Flatlund three times on
the table, and when the Lord revived him, that third time.
All they could kept saying was the Lord is right
on time. He's right on time. So when he kept
putting that thought in his mind and he kept putting
words together, and we kept.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Saying time time, right on time.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
And then we mean that opening of the song, no
matter what you're going through, my God will be there
for you.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
He's on time.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
And as we started putting the song together, and I
see these entitled quartet days.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
So as we put.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Songs together, we said, guys, let's sit down and let's
let's go back, and let's kind of hit all the
quartet groups.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
So I see the kind of how it sounded.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Like a little bit of the Jews, a little bit
of the keynotes, a little bit of violin ais.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
So you know, the Jews was the driving this group
that's ever hit the stage.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
They could take a song clear and Cleve could drive
all night long. So we kind of kind of hit
them all like that. And I tell people all the time,
don't forget where you came from.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
And when you forget where you come from, you won't
go very far.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I don't forget because the thing is about it. There's
a whole lot of juice back there that was left
back in them days. Well look, you know, because I
remember when they were hand clapping and footstomping, and they
could tell a church apart, you know. I mean, we
got all these yeah, we got all these instruments, and
can't you know it can't can't move the.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Spirit at all, you know.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
But but but you let Grandma on them start clapping
their hands and patting their feet on the floor, boil up,
just mean to be.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
On man, you know.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
And then in the dusk started flying from the floor. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I remember they used to saying, give me that old
time legend, buller.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
It was old you know, it was, yes, it was.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, then was then was the then was the days
back there?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
You know shooting yes, sir sir, because I was actually
uh ever, Ratties Fan Jerome was one of my favorites.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
I'm gonna tell you what.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
That man could go from from the bottom to the
top of the matter of seconds. And when I heard
him the sing years ago, learning the Land, every church
down here where I'm at was was singing that song
in their choirt, and I'm gonna tell you what, that
was just one of my favorites.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Learning the lyn that you know, God is you know,
I tell people all the time. You know, our language
is very limited, but what God does with in the
hearts of people, it is amazing, you know, because at
the praise factor, I mean, you know, I come down
not to win awards. I come down to watch everybody
(15:28):
that God has worked with, you know, to see, you know,
what he's did, what He's done with this person, and
what he's done with that person. Because I'm still amazing.
I'm like a little kid at Christmas time. That's my
Christmas if you ask me, you know, because I get
to I get to hear all of the spirits of
God coming through people. You know, Man, when I tell
(15:51):
you it's amazing, you know, I mean from the rappers,
from the rappers.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Own man, you know, you know, it's you know, and
I'm like, man, how did you do that? You know?
Speaker 5 (16:00):
But you know, yeah, and I've.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Been I've been writing for years, you know, I've been,
you know, because I write all all the stuff that
I put out, I write. But okay, to listen to
listen to how he writes and other people, it's still
amazing to me, man, you know.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
It is it is and you know, we were really
blessed the fantastic spiritual warse was really blessed because at
this past and we had one of the greatest singers
that I ever had the opportunity of being with, and
that was Reverend Charlie Brown. He sung with the Violinnaiirs
with with Blair Well. Charlie was our lead singer when
he passed. And one thing Charlie always told us, he said,
(16:40):
young blood, when y'all hit that stage and you hit
that floor, he said, it is yours until your time
is up. And you see that moment until your time
is up. So we always take that everywhere we go,
and we have praying.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
We talked to God before we hit the stage, and.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
We tell each other more it's hours until we get
off that stage.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Come. You know, I'm just a believer.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Not only am I a past I've been passing now
for almost twenty five years. But I told the guys
anything I do, I give God one hundred and ten percent.
They said, we ain't got but one hundred, I said,
but I find ten more percent because I think about
what He's done for me and I know that I
owe him.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
So I take that out.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Of the storage bank and I give God everything I
got because it might be my last time, so I
give him everything I got.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Well, I'm gonna tell you know, I found out that
extra ten percent is the spirit of God coming in,
and I'm putting it in.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Will you be seasoning? You know, I'm like, oh, go
and do it then, you know.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
And because you know, you know, I do a lot
of nursing homes, you know, okay, and I you know,
I go and do nursing home and I do hour
show at every nursing home I go to because I
don't want to leave there until that music to move
their spirits, you know.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Yes, And I see how he bey, you know, and
it's amazing, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
And my wife she'll say, you did it, you did
a good job today. I'm like, we'll praise the Lord,
I say, because he showed was there with me.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
But yes, don't tell me now now, I mean, because
I know it ain't been easy all these years, you know,
So tell me how you guys stay focused, because I mean, now,
now it's what five or six of you guys in
the group.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Well right now, it's only four. It's only four of us.
And what we do this one thing that I really
believe in and This is something that I'm very serious about.
In my church as well as the group. We stay
in contact with each other about every two days. I
might not call him every day, they might not call
me every day, but every other day we're talking. If
(18:46):
it's not about music, it's about life. We connected as
a family, and we do a lot of rehearsing. When
I say rehearsing, we do a lot of rehearsing. You know,
the Bible tells us that a man's gifts to make
room for him. But I often tell people I thank
God for how he has blessed us. Because in our group,
all the guys in the group can sing every part
(19:09):
of the background. So we got every Memborican sing top,
every Memorican sing second, and every Membican sing bottom. Now
I used to be the tenor singer, but our lead singer.
After Charlie passed the second one, he passed away, so
I stepped up to the lead.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
So now I'm not singing top.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Periodically, I'll slide in the back and do a little
bit and then come back just to keep my voice
in tune, because if you get away from it and
then you go a long time trying to go back
to it, then it's hard to try to get back
in the groove of it. So I do a little
bit every now and then, but I sing in my
church on Sundays as well. But we have a close
knit relationship the Fantastic Spiritual Voices.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
We're brothers. We're not just singers.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
We are brothers and we love each other and we're
there for each other. So our focus Danny, which is
our manager. He sung with the Violent name as for
for some time. He wrote some songs for them as well.
Closer to the end. He's sung with Little Blair for
a long period of time too as well. So we've
(20:10):
got a lot of history with with with some of
the majors. I've been on stage with a lot of
the major guys performing like doing some openings and even
on some shows. But our biggest focus is stay with God.
Don't lose your relationship with God. If you lose your
relationship with God, you can't go nowhere because then you're
acting in self.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Because without Him I can't do nothing.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
I'll just tell anybody, I wouldn't even begin to even
try to take a step without him.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
I can't do nothing without got.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
If I could do it, I wouldn't want to.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
I wouldn't even attempt to take a step, you know.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
You know, because the thing is it's rough with him,
so I know what it's going to be like without him,
you know, just be overwhelming. And and you know you
said something early about giving him your best.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Man. Look, you know I preached that all the time.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
You know, you shouldn't you shouldn't even attempt to do
something for God.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
If you're going to half way do it, just gonna
leave me alone.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Because because you're the better position if you just leave.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
It alone, you know, just leave it alone.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Yeah, because the thing is when I call on God,
you know, basically, when I call God, I don't want him.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
To wait till next week. You know, I want him.
I want him right then because I need him right then,
you know.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
And so when he called me to do a thing,
I want to give him everything I got, you know,
because when I when I'm through, I want to be done,
left it all on that on the.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Place where I'm performing for him at or where I'm
giving that word at, you know.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
And yes, yes, because one day I do expect to
hear him say well done.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Well done, yes sir.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
And you know, you know one thing about it, something
that you said is so true. Is I just thank
God that I got somebody can go to and give
him the things that wake me down.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
The Book of First.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Peter tells us to cast our cares upon him because
he cares for us. So we can give it all
to him, and we can leave refreshed and relieve, knowing
that he's taking.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Our burdens away.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
And I just I descrive it this, you know, on
our on our project here, we got a song entitled
all Things Possible.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
And I'm gonna tell you what that song menaces to me.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
And if you sing, if you preach, or whatever you
do for the Lord, if you don't never feel it yourself,
you ain't doing nothing.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
You've got to feel what you're singing. I know we's
singing for the people.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
But when I stand before God and I deliver a
song or a message, I ask the Lord Lord have
me in the place where I can receive as well
as the people, because I'm a vessel being used by him.
But sometimes I preach to myself and I sing to
myself because I need to encourage myself.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
You know now I had to put a twist on that.
You know, in my ministry because I've when I write,
I either write, you know, where God is is giving
a message to the people, or I write where you know,
I'm just being grateful. I'm just I'm singing directly to him,
(23:14):
you know, like you know, like you know, uh, you know,
beautiful name, you know, and and and songs like that,
you know, Lord and King.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Well I'm singing. I'm singing directly to God, you know.
And I'm and I'm hoping that people get something from that.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
But but right now, I'm I'm talking to my daddy,
you know, right now.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Because because because that.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Relationship is the most important relationship.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
To me in the world.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yes, tell the people how.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
They can, how they can find you, how they can
book you, you know, how they can get your music?
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You know?
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Okay, Well, well you can get it from Apple Music, Amazon, Spotify.
With we're in a lot of places. I have a
bunch of sea at hand, the guys have a bunch.
But it's out there in several locations, Like I said,
Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, there's a few more sites, I think,
(24:13):
CD Baby, but it's several places out there that you
can actually purchase it. Quartet Days is the title of it,
and it is available, so you can get it.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
I tell somebody would like a copy, Yes, sir, tell.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Them how they can find your church when they come
to where you are.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Oh yeah, if you come to North Carolina. I am
in a country town called swan Quarter. It's eighteen five
twenty five US Highway two sixty four right in the
big town of swan Quarter. The name of my church
is Old Richmond Baptist Church, and it's on first Sundays.
And then I'm at the First Baptist Church in Terracea,
(24:56):
North Carolina on second and fourth Sundays.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
And and I tell you, we have a good time.
We have a good time. And there.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I don't like to squench the spirit when the Lord moves.
I tell everybody, y'all, let him have a free course
in this house. Let him do what he wants to
do as long as he wants to do it. Because
when I go to the church or when I sing,
I go with a spirit of expectancy. I expect God
to do something for me, if not for me, for
for somebody else. But we're gonna praise God until something happens.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Amen, you know, I tell you get your dancing shoes
on because we're gonna move some dirt today.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
You know, we're gonna move some dirt. That's that's good
to me. That's good to me right there. Yes, their yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Because I've come to braise.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
If you know, and you know, what would you leave,
What would you leave with the people?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I mean, you know, to to encourage the people.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
I would less like to leave with everybody.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Just don't give up on God, because God won't give
up on you.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
I know.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
The things that we see in the world today is
depressing to our spirits.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
There's nothing wrong with the world. The problem is with
the people.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Because the Bible tells us that God took six days
to create the heaven and the earth, and the seventh
day took time to rest and saw everything was good
and very good. So there's nothing wrong with the world.
It's just the people. And the Lord told us in
his word, he said, if my people, who are called
by my name, would just humble themselves and pray and
seek his face and turn from them wicked ways, he said,
(26:30):
then he will hear from heaven. And I tell people
all the time there's a process and order. You just
can't expect God to do it, and you don't turn.
You got to turn from ways and then he'll hear
from heaven.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
And he will heal this land.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
And I believe that the God I serve is still alive.
He still got the power, and he's still able. And
if you get an opportunity, just tune in to the
fantastic spiritual voices and we'll bless your souls real good
because we are singing the fantastic way.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
And before we go, ladies and gentlemen, I would like
for you to do something. Call that person that you haven't.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Talked to you and tell I just wanted to hear you.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Boys, I just wanted to tell you that I love
you and and whatever the situation was, you know, I
forgive you.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Please forgive me, and.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Let's yes to the glory together and Jesus thanks. So
don't forget to make that call now, because I'm going
to tell you. Somebody out there need to hear that
you love them, yes, yes, just like we needed to
know that God loves us, someone needs to hear.
Speaker 2 (27:35):

Speaker 3 (27:37):

Oh yeah, well I read you.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
I read your bio and uh uh, But I want
you to tell the people, how did you get started
in this, you know, in the ministry with the with
the fantaxis spiritual voices.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
How did you all come about?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Well, you know, we've been singing for years and we've
got a rich history from our beginning. Two of the
brothers in the group, their grandmother was a piano player
down in Wilson, North Carolina, Miss Fanny Boone, and she
was an awesome, awesome piano player, played for all the
churches in the neighborhood. And I was in a little
town called Curry, North Carolina, down near the outer banks
(05:16):
of North Carolina, and my grandfather was a singer. So
I was a little boy laying at the floor at
my grandfather's house. And a lot of the young people
might not understand what real to real music is, but
my grandfather had music on real to real and I
was sitting the floor and watched those wheels turn listening
to the Jackson Southern Ears and the Swiney Quintet, just
(05:37):
the name of a few back in the day, watching
Big Red singing how Much Do I Owe Him? In
Percy and the late Great Huet Williams and Frank singing
Teddy Bear. I thought that was amazing as a little kid,
just listening to those great singing back in those days.
So I've been singing ever since I was about ten
years old, and I started singing tenor when I was
(05:57):
about fifteen, and I was a little young fella then,
so I could get way to the sky and the
scream girl loud and got a little bit of agent
when that on came.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Collared like I used to. But I still give God praise.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
We're still making that noise, still making that noise, still
making that the Lord. I remember back in the day
I can hang out with Lenny Williams up down that note,
you know.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
But you know, but uh, you.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Know, these days, I have to keep it where I
can get it.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
You're to praise the Lord, yes sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
But you've had an amazing journey, you know, in this
gospel music thing. You know, uh, you know some of
the catch that you you know, mentioning. You know, my
father used to you know, listen to him, you know,
and when we were growing up, you know, so Mississippi
blind Boy Jackson selling there Mighty Clouds and you know,
(06:50):
you know, oh yeah, oh man, yeah, man, you know,
and the Violentaires.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Of course I was a volunteer fan from a kid.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah, that was that old good music back in the day.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
You know. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
We used to have Battle of the Quartets in my
area on Sunday afternoons. The quartets would come in town
and they were they would just battle, and uh, you know,
I remember Paul and Willie coming to Elizabeth City and
the Violent Airs were coming, the Clouds were coming, and
uh just to to to hear those guys sing, and
(07:24):
it was just a blessing to be able to go
because there was a time when we didn't really have
a lot of money in the house to be able
to force tickets to go.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
But when we were able to go, we thoroughly enjoyed that.
Hear those guys sing.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
It ain't that amazing. People got all kind of money
today and they want they don't want to go, you know,
but don't want to go back in the day that music.
But that music was so powerful.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
It was powerful. Yes, it was very powerful.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I mean because as a little boy, you know, I
remember being mesmerized.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
You know, n boy, you know, and and I was like,
how do will they do that?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
You know, and and and never knowing that one day
I'll be up and somebody would be, you know, saying
how you do bad?
Speaker 5 (08:07):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
But it's that's why it's that annointing man that annointed
just where you're proud, you know.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Yeah, I used to be.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I used to be excited about going to see the
busses pull on the ground and and all the guys
would come to those big eagle busses and and they
had the names on the side, and we'd be outside
looking at the busses and we were just and everybody
travel up down the road and cars and vans, no
busses anymore.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
So I'm telling a.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Lot has changed.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yeah. We we were missing out on a whole lot,
you know.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I mean it's modernization, you know. Were missing out on
a lot, man, you know, but a whole lot. But
but now we do have the airways where we can
where we can you know, dominate the airways if we
would take advantage of it, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
And uh yeah, So so now.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
North Carolina, do you you still hang out in Carolina now,
you know, I mean from Georgia, you know, yeah, I know.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Yeah, we still we still hang out in Carolina.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Uh, down in the Wilson area, and we're close to
the Rocky Mount where Luther Barnes is at, so we
see Luther from time to time. Yeah, he's he's still
in Rocky Mount. And of course his cousin Wanda and
Deborah that sang with him. They they're performing and of
course one is a minister now. But down in Wilson
where the two brothers are from, brother Maurice Morgan. He
(09:29):
played guitar for the violinais he played for the keynotes.
But he's from from Wilson as well, so he's in
Mississippi right now. And uh uh, he was one of
our family. Members of his family joined my church and
members of my church, so we still have a lot
of a lot of history there. Of course, Uh a
couple of violinairs.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
They was from North Carolina. They come back and forth.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
And then of course Slim's Supreme Angels, Big Mike and all.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
They're not far from us in Sanford, North Carolina.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
So uh we can being rolling about an hour and
a half from where we live and at times, and
you know, so we we we have a lot of
good singing in Carolina. Of course, the McDonald's sisters are
here too in Fayetteville, and uh yeah, we we we
still we still have some good rich old We still
have some good gospel concerts in Carolina. And we've learned
(10:20):
how to to do a concert and to make the
music to a point where we can hear a sing
that we don't have to sing over the music, but
the music can come beneath us. So people can't hear
the words. A lot of people get hung up in
the music. But you need to listen to the words
of a song. For the words of the song, it's
what makes a difference in our lives.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Amen, you know, I my my my thing is country
gospel music and.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Yes, heard, I've heard you before.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I like country because of the stories. I love telling
the stories of the song, you know. And so we
find a lot of time where, you know, where normally
people are shouting and you know, when I'm singing, there
sitting there listening because they're listening to the story, you know, right,
And which is truly amazing, because I've had people say, man,
(11:10):
that music just it did something to me. It changed
something to me, you know, And which is what we
are here trying to do.
Speaker 6 (11:16):

Speaker 5 (12:36):
Well?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Uh, right on time came from one of the brothers
in the group. And of course all of us we
sit down, we put lyrics together, and we we we
make our own songs, we make our own music.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
We have our own studio protoun music productions.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
And right on time actually came from brother Tim Boone,
who is our baritone singer.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
He was in the hospital, had a.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Heart attack, massive heart attack in Flatlund three times on
the table, and when the Lord revived him, that third time.
All they could kept saying was the Lord is right
on time. He's right on time. So when he kept
putting that thought in his mind and he kept putting
words together, and we kept.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Saying time time, right on time.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
And then we mean that opening of the song, no
matter what you're going through, my God will be there
for you.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
He's on time.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
And as we started putting the song together, and I
see these entitled quartet days.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
So as we put.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Songs together, we said, guys, let's sit down and let's
let's go back, and let's kind of hit all the
quartet groups.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
So I see the kind of how it sounded.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Like a little bit of the Jews, a little bit
of the keynotes, a little bit of violin ais.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
So you know, the Jews was the driving this group
that's ever hit the stage.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
They could take a song clear and Cleve could drive
all night long. So we kind of kind of hit
them all like that. And I tell people all the time,
don't forget where you came from.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
And when you forget where you come from, you won't
go very far.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I don't forget because the thing is about it. There's
a whole lot of juice back there that was left
back in them days. Well look, you know, because I
remember when they were hand clapping and footstomping, and they
could tell a church apart, you know. I mean, we
got all these yeah, we got all these instruments, and
can't you know it can't can't move the.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Spirit at all, you know.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
But but but you let Grandma on them start clapping
their hands and patting their feet on the floor, boil up,
just mean to be.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
On man, you know.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
And then in the dusk started flying from the floor. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I remember they used to saying, give me that old
time legend, buller.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
It was old you know, it was, yes, it was.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, then was then was the then was the days
back there?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
You know shooting yes, sir sir, because I was actually
uh ever, Ratties Fan Jerome was one of my favorites.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
I'm gonna tell you what.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
That man could go from from the bottom to the
top of the matter of seconds. And when I heard
him the sing years ago, learning the Land, every church
down here where I'm at was was singing that song
in their choirt, and I'm gonna tell you what, that
was just one of my favorites.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Learning the lyn that you know, God is you know,
I tell people all the time. You know, our language
is very limited, but what God does with in the
hearts of people, it is amazing, you know, because at
the praise factor, I mean, you know, I come down
not to win awards. I come down to watch everybody
(15:28):
that God has worked with, you know, to see, you know,
what he's did, what He's done with this person, and
what he's done with that person. Because I'm still amazing.
I'm like a little kid at Christmas time. That's my
Christmas if you ask me, you know, because I get
to I get to hear all of the spirits of
God coming through people. You know, Man, when I tell
(15:51):
you it's amazing, you know, I mean from the rappers,
from the rappers.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Own man, you know, you know, it's you know, and
I'm like, man, how did you do that? You know?
Speaker 5 (16:00):
But you know, yeah, and I've.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Been I've been writing for years, you know, I've been,
you know, because I write all all the stuff that
I put out, I write. But okay, to listen to
listen to how he writes and other people, it's still
amazing to me, man, you know.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
It is it is and you know, we were really
blessed the fantastic spiritual warse was really blessed because at
this past and we had one of the greatest singers
that I ever had the opportunity of being with, and
that was Reverend Charlie Brown. He sung with the Violinnaiirs
with with Blair Well. Charlie was our lead singer when
he passed. And one thing Charlie always told us, he said,
(16:40):
young blood, when y'all hit that stage and you hit
that floor, he said, it is yours until your time
is up. And you see that moment until your time
is up. So we always take that everywhere we go,
and we have praying.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
We talked to God before we hit the stage, and.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
We tell each other more it's hours until we get
off that stage.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Come. You know, I'm just a believer.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Not only am I a past I've been passing now
for almost twenty five years. But I told the guys
anything I do, I give God one hundred and ten percent.
They said, we ain't got but one hundred, I said,
but I find ten more percent because I think about
what He's done for me and I know that I
owe him.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
So I take that out.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Of the storage bank and I give God everything I
got because it might be my last time, so I
give him everything I got.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Well, I'm gonna tell you know, I found out that
extra ten percent is the spirit of God coming in,
and I'm putting it in.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Will you be seasoning? You know, I'm like, oh, go
and do it then, you know.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
And because you know, you know, I do a lot
of nursing homes, you know, okay, and I you know,
I go and do nursing home and I do hour
show at every nursing home I go to because I
don't want to leave there until that music to move
their spirits, you know.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Yes, And I see how he bey, you know, and
it's amazing, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
And my wife she'll say, you did it, you did
a good job today. I'm like, we'll praise the Lord,
I say, because he showed was there with me.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
But yes, don't tell me now now, I mean, because
I know it ain't been easy all these years, you know,
So tell me how you guys stay focused, because I mean, now,
now it's what five or six of you guys in
the group.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Well right now, it's only four. It's only four of us.
And what we do this one thing that I really
believe in and This is something that I'm very serious about.
In my church as well as the group. We stay
in contact with each other about every two days. I
might not call him every day, they might not call
me every day, but every other day we're talking. If
(18:46):
it's not about music, it's about life. We connected as
a family, and we do a lot of rehearsing. When
I say rehearsing, we do a lot of rehearsing. You know,
the Bible tells us that a man's gifts to make
room for him. But I often tell people I thank
God for how he has blessed us. Because in our group,
all the guys in the group can sing every part
(19:09):
of the background. So we got every Memborican sing top,
every Memorican sing second, and every Membican sing bottom. Now
I used to be the tenor singer, but our lead singer.
After Charlie passed the second one, he passed away, so
I stepped up to the lead.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
So now I'm not singing top.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Periodically, I'll slide in the back and do a little
bit and then come back just to keep my voice
in tune, because if you get away from it and
then you go a long time trying to go back
to it, then it's hard to try to get back
in the groove of it. So I do a little
bit every now and then, but I sing in my
church on Sundays as well. But we have a close
knit relationship the Fantastic Spiritual Voices.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
We're brothers. We're not just singers.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
We are brothers and we love each other and we're
there for each other. So our focus Danny, which is
our manager. He sung with the Violent name as for
for some time. He wrote some songs for them as well.
Closer to the end. He's sung with Little Blair for
a long period of time too as well. So we've
(20:10):
got a lot of history with with with some of
the majors. I've been on stage with a lot of
the major guys performing like doing some openings and even
on some shows. But our biggest focus is stay with God.
Don't lose your relationship with God. If you lose your
relationship with God, you can't go nowhere because then you're
acting in self.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Because without Him I can't do nothing.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
I'll just tell anybody, I wouldn't even begin to even
try to take a step without him.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
I can't do nothing without got.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
If I could do it, I wouldn't want to.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
I wouldn't even attempt to take a step, you know.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
You know, because the thing is it's rough with him,
so I know what it's going to be like without him,
you know, just be overwhelming. And and you know you
said something early about giving him your best.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Man. Look, you know I preached that all the time.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
You know, you shouldn't you shouldn't even attempt to do
something for God.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
If you're going to half way do it, just gonna
leave me alone.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Because because you're the better position if you just leave.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
It alone, you know, just leave it alone.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Yeah, because the thing is when I call on God,
you know, basically, when I call God, I don't want him.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
To wait till next week. You know, I want him.
I want him right then because I need him right then,
you know.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
And so when he called me to do a thing,
I want to give him everything I got, you know,
because when I when I'm through, I want to be done,
left it all on that on the.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Place where I'm performing for him at or where I'm
giving that word at, you know.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
And yes, yes, because one day I do expect to
hear him say well done.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Well done, yes sir.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
And you know, you know one thing about it, something
that you said is so true. Is I just thank
God that I got somebody can go to and give
him the things that wake me down.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
The Book of First.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Peter tells us to cast our cares upon him because
he cares for us. So we can give it all
to him, and we can leave refreshed and relieve, knowing
that he's taking.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Our burdens away.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
And I just I descrive it this, you know, on
our on our project here, we got a song entitled
all Things Possible.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
And I'm gonna tell you what that song menaces to me.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
And if you sing, if you preach, or whatever you
do for the Lord, if you don't never feel it yourself,
you ain't doing nothing.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
You've got to feel what you're singing. I know we's
singing for the people.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
But when I stand before God and I deliver a
song or a message, I ask the Lord Lord have
me in the place where I can receive as well
as the people, because I'm a vessel being used by him.
But sometimes I preach to myself and I sing to
myself because I need to encourage myself.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
You know now I had to put a twist on that.
You know, in my ministry because I've when I write,
I either write, you know, where God is is giving
a message to the people, or I write where you know,
I'm just being grateful. I'm just I'm singing directly to him,
(23:14):
you know, like you know, like you know, uh, you know,
beautiful name, you know, and and and songs like that,
you know, Lord and King.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Well I'm singing. I'm singing directly to God, you know.
And I'm and I'm hoping that people get something from that.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
But but right now, I'm I'm talking to my daddy,
you know, right now.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Because because because that.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Relationship is the most important relationship.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
To me in the world.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yes, tell the people how.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
They can, how they can find you, how they can
book you, you know, how they can get your music?
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You know?
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Okay, Well, well you can get it from Apple Music, Amazon, Spotify.
With we're in a lot of places. I have a
bunch of sea at hand, the guys have a bunch.
But it's out there in several locations, Like I said,
Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, there's a few more sites, I think,
(24:13):
CD Baby, but it's several places out there that you
can actually purchase it. Quartet Days is the title of it,
and it is available, so you can get it.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
I tell somebody would like a copy, Yes, sir, tell.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Them how they can find your church when they come
to where you are.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Oh yeah, if you come to North Carolina. I am
in a country town called swan Quarter. It's eighteen five
twenty five US Highway two sixty four right in the
big town of swan Quarter. The name of my church
is Old Richmond Baptist Church, and it's on first Sundays.
And then I'm at the First Baptist Church in Terracea,
(24:56):
North Carolina on second and fourth Sundays.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
And and I tell you, we have a good time.
We have a good time. And there.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I don't like to squench the spirit when the Lord moves.
I tell everybody, y'all, let him have a free course
in this house. Let him do what he wants to
do as long as he wants to do it. Because
when I go to the church or when I sing,
I go with a spirit of expectancy. I expect God
to do something for me, if not for me, for
for somebody else. But we're gonna praise God until something happens.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Amen, you know, I tell you get your dancing shoes
on because we're gonna move some dirt today.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
You know, we're gonna move some dirt. That's that's good
to me. That's good to me right there. Yes, their yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Because I've come to braise.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
If you know, and you know, what would you leave,
What would you leave with the people?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I mean, you know, to to encourage the people.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
I would less like to leave with everybody.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Just don't give up on God, because God won't give
up on you.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
I know.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
The things that we see in the world today is
depressing to our spirits.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
There's nothing wrong with the world. The problem is with
the people.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Because the Bible tells us that God took six days
to create the heaven and the earth, and the seventh
day took time to rest and saw everything was good
and very good. So there's nothing wrong with the world.
It's just the people. And the Lord told us in
his word, he said, if my people, who are called
by my name, would just humble themselves and pray and
seek his face and turn from them wicked ways, he said,
(26:30):
then he will hear from heaven. And I tell people
all the time there's a process and order. You just
can't expect God to do it, and you don't turn.
You got to turn from ways and then he'll hear
from heaven.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
And he will heal this land.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
And I believe that the God I serve is still alive.
He still got the power, and he's still able. And
if you get an opportunity, just tune in to the
fantastic spiritual voices and we'll bless your souls real good
because we are singing the fantastic way.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
And before we go, ladies and gentlemen, I would like
for you to do something. Call that person that you haven't.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Talked to you and tell I just wanted to hear you.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Boys, I just wanted to tell you that I love
you and and whatever the situation was, you know, I
forgive you.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Please forgive me, and.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Let's yes to the glory together and Jesus thanks. So
don't forget to make that call now, because I'm going
to tell you. Somebody out there need to hear that
you love them, yes, yes, just like we needed to
know that God loves us, someone needs to hear.
Speaker 2 (27:35):

Speaker 3 (27:37):
