We're coming down for a great event tonight at the Pickin Post in Fort Payne, Alabama.

- Well, just in case somebody's going to go to Fort Payne to see you tonight and you're not there because it's taped tonight, we don't 'em to blame us.

- Yeah, don't go tonight.

(chuckles) - No, don't go tonight.

If you go tonight in there there, it's a miracle.

- That's right.

- It's a miracle.

Well, introduce everybody if you will.

- Well, my name's Kevin Woolard.

We're a little bit unique for Christian country groups.

There's two of us who are preachers and one deacon in the group.

My name is Kevin Woolard.

This is Mr. John Hill.

And this is our deacon in the bunch, Daniel Albritton.

- And it takes a good deacon to keep up with two preachers.

I can tell you that.

- That's exactly right.

- Well, I thought you were gonna say there are two preachers and one sinner.

I mean I mean.

(band chuckles) - Well, three sinners.

- I had my finger like this.

Please don't let him say that, please.

So two preachers and one deacon, right?

- Three saved sinners.

- Yeah, that's right.

By the grace of God.

- [Band] Amen.

- All right, well, we're so glad to have you on, "Alabama Gospel Roots."

I mean that.

And I had a chance to talk to one of your preacher buddies.

You just got one more in the group and we had a real good conversation.

- Yes, sir.

- But listen, we encourage you to continue to do what you're doing and we're glad that this new territory is opening up to you.

- We're excited.

- All right.

So you are all family man, right?

- Yes, sir.

- All of you married.

You married, you married, Deacon?

- All of us married, children.

- Married.

- How long you been married, Dee?

- I've been married 34 years.

- That's the same as me, Dee (everyone chuckles) And you, sir?

- I'll be married 30 years this July.

- Three, three.

- 21 years.

- Come on now.

Come on, come on.

You got something to look forward to.

- Yeah.

- But Daniel's the old fella.

He's already got grandkids, we don't.

- I got three grandkids and they're the best.

- Name 'em real fast, the three.

- Nathan, Isaac, and Jovi.

- Oh, all right, great.

Well, listen, I'm gonna jump on out of the way 'cause you wanna sing tonight and I know you brought some good songs with you.

I think you got about two or three more to do, and we want to hear 'em, okay?

- Yeah, sir, awesome.

- Well, thank you for having us.

It's been a real joy.

- You're quite welcome.

Brother Marty DeRoche, how are you, sir?

- Good, thank you.

- That's right.

- All right, and where are you from again?

- Southern Illinois.

- Southern Illinois.

What area?

What city was that?

- Cutler, Illinois.

- Cutler, C-U-T?

- Yep.

- L-E-R?

- Yes, sir.

- All right, I'm glad I got that in when I was in school.

I could hear it and say it.

- There you go.

(chuckles) - I hit it.

That was just luck though.

Hey, we're so glad to have you on, "Alabama Gospel Roots."

Now tell me how long you've been ministering.

First of all, would you call this like southern gospel or would it be country gospel that you do?

- Christian country music.

- Christian country music.

And it hits.

- That's right.

- You got the attire on man.

And I love the hat and love the boots too.

And we probably won't get a chance to see the boots, but I love them.

- Thank you.

- All right, thank you for joining us.

- Oh, thanks for having me.

Anything you wanna say to the people since you in Alabama, the whole state?

- It's a joy to be here.

We've been here for since Monday and we've just enjoyed our time here.

But it is hot here.

- Yeah, we got a different kind of hot, right?

- Yes, you do.

- Yeah.

(chuckles) - You sure do.

- You gotta know how to breathe when you come down here, man.

- That's exactly right.

- If you don't know how to breathe, you might get choked.

We appreciate you so very much for your support.

And we wanna say to you, if you have somebody that you'd like to nominate for a Golden Vessel, we want that person.

And of course if you like to minister through your song ministry, maybe even a dance ministry, just get in touch with us.

We'll be mighty glad to accommodate you.

Josh Bennett, how are you?

- Hey, I'm doing really good.

- Great man.

We appreciate you coming to be a part of, "Alabama Gospel Roots."

And I don't know if you'd just be inviting yourself or we invite you.

Maybe a combination of both.

- I think a little bit of both.

- Okay, I'll deal with that.

Now what church are you a member of, and where you from again?

- Church is St. Luke Missionary Baptist Church in Graysville, Alabama.

- Big old Graysville.

- Yeah.

And I grew up a little bit in Graysville and Adamsville as well.

- Okay, Adamsville, that's out there with Ms. Rosia, Ben, Ms. Ben, Ms. Rossi, Bernie and very beautiful people.

- Yes, sir.

- Okay, well, we are here in Childersburg.

That's where we are now.

You know that, right?

- Yes, sir.

- You got it up there.

First Baptist Church, Childersburg, Pastor Hilyer.

And we thank Pastor Hilyer and the congregation for allowing us to come, 'cause that's the hospitality that means so very much when people open their doors 'cause they don't have to.

- Yeah, right?

- And mama and them told us if somebody is being nice to us, they'll be thankful and grateful, right?

- Yes, sir.

- You ever heard that before?

- Oh yeah.

- All right.

Well, your sax, you've already told us before, but in case somebody has not heard you sing or ministered through your horn, what would you tell them about your career with your horn?

How long has it been and how did it start?

- I started out in grade school, so sixth grade.

- Sixth grade.

- I'm 34 years old now, so I started out about 11.

- Okay.

- 11 years old.

- You got training in it or you taught yourself?

- A little bit of both.

When I first got the horn, I tried to work it out best way I could.

- You worked it out too now.

- And then I got some further instruction on it as well.

- Okay.

From a whole talented family.

We wanna get your children on here sooner later.

And your wife.

- Yes.

- We just gonna make a choir out of you.

- A whole choir.

And what do you?

Are you a member of your brother's church?

- I am a member of the church, yes I am.

I have a new takeout restaurant that I just opened a couple months ago called The Hot Dog Shack.

- The Hot Dog Shack.

The Hot Dogs.

(chuckles) - Yeah, and it's Chester, West Virginia.

- Oh, that is beautiful.

So you live in West Virginia?

- No, I'm in Ohio.

- Okay.

- Well, it's like five minutes across the river.

- Oh, okay.

- Yeah, so yeah.

- Great.

So you spent a lot of time at both places?

- I do, yes.

- Great, great.

So how long was this idea in your head about the hot dog place?

- Just a couple months.

- Well, you went, you moved fast, huh?

- I did.

- So you take out?

- Yes, take out.

- Okay, what's a very special hot dog?

- Chili slaw dog.

- Ooh, did you bring one with you?

You got one in the guitar?

- No, I didn't bring any, not today.

(chuckles) - I had one in my pocket.

I ate it.

- So I plugged the Hot Dog Shack.

Her chili is a inside house own recipe.

Her cheddar is inside house own recipe.

They got chili.

I'm her infomercial guy.

So it's The Hot Dog Shack in Chester, West Virginia.
