This reminds me of my childhood in south Texas when I'd go and sit as close as I could to a black church at the end of our street and listen to their gospel music on Sundays and during funerals. I loved it because it moved something in the deepest part of my soul, but at that time during the mid to late 50s in the deep south I could neither attend their services nor would they accept me in their community (I tried) but it remains part of my soul and heart to this day. Thank you Southern Gospel Revival for this, I am so very grateful. It reconnected me to that young white boy who couldn't understand why the people in my neighborhood (and other whites I knew, including my own family) couldn't see the goodness of those who could sing such wonderful music as our neighbors were singing from their hearts, and how much they loved God and look beyond the of the color of their skin and know their goodness.

I grew up close to Nashville, Tennessee USA in a rural area . My family attended a little church that played this kind of music every Sunday. It's a natural thing for all us hillbillies (I am college educated, by the way) to celebrate Jesus in our Southern way. I am proud of my Southern heritage.
