(all laughing) - That is awesome.

So, do you fish?

- You can remember it?

- Yeah, I can remember it.

And how long y'all been singing together?

- For about six years now.

- Okay.

- Yes.

We all started to the same church and the Lord just brought us together.

- That is beautiful.

- There's no relation between us at all.

- I can't believe that.

You can't convince me of that.

(Diane chuckling) if I walked out the room, I'd- - We're sisters in Christ.

- That's right.

- There you go.

These two right here like twins and you look like the third one in that middle.

(Diane chuckling) Yeah, I mean this is beautiful.

And we really enjoyed your singing now.

- Thank you.

- And we want to hear some more from you because you just got us, you just gave us a little taste and I understand you're supposed to do three and you've already started out.

- Well, you just say the word and we'll come right back.

- Did you hear that?

- I heard that.

- You heard it.

- Yes.

- It is on record, right?

- Yes, sir.

- Okay, well we're going to get with Dennis Williams and Susie and see if we can't get that to happen again.
