Sunshine, Alabama, I don't know how many people you got in town, but there's some beautiful people.

Brenda, Alabama, hello to you.

Ryland, yes indeed, we called your name on "Alabama Gospel Roots", and when you go around town, say, "Hey, I was watching 'Alabama Gospel Roots', and they called our name."

Silverhill, Alabama, wow, hello to you.

And then in Lineville, Lineville Health and Rehab Center.

Like I say to all of our friends in the nursing homes, you know, keep moving, don't stay in the bed all day.

If you can get up, get up, exercise, enjoy yourselves, and follow those instructions.

I know how hard it is.

You've been instructing people all your life, and now somebody's instructing you, but you can do it, and it's gonna be good for everybody.

Now let's turn over here and say hello, and salute our Golden Vessel for this evening.

Our Golden Vessel, we got a husband and wife team, the Reverend PS Jenkins and Mrs. Christine Crooks Jenkins.
