Everybody, call a neighbor, call a friend, let them know that we are what?

Why you bring all this fire?

Did I need to put the fire department on alert?

- Allen Pruitt.

- Junior.

- Junior.

- There you go.

Well man, I've been hearing a lot about you.

Yes I have, yes I have.

How you think your name got called?

I was with you at St. John Baptist Church in Edgewater.

- Yes, sir.

- See there, you never know who out there making notes, right?

- Yes, sir.

- Great, well, brother Walter, how long you been singing, sir?

- Since I was about five.

My mom forced me.

- She forced you.

- And I ain't mad either.

- I know it.

Hey, help buy some bread and... - Yes sir.

- Eggs and milk.

- Yes sir.

- Great, where are you from?

- I live in Forestdale, but I'm originally from Chicago.

- Chicago, windy city.

- Yes, sir.

- So, but you've been in Alabama long enough to know that Alabama's where you spread your bread at and butter it all up, right?

- Okay.

- What church you remember of?

- I'm a member of Cornerstone.

- Cornerstone, who's your pastor there?

- Reverend Darrell Lindsey.

- Okay, yeah, okay, he's a great man of God.

Great man of God.

Well, we thank you for joining us on "Alabama Gospel Roots", and this big great aggregation, which I'm the lead singer for.

They don't know it yet.

I'm kind of jealous, you done slipped up in here man.

They making notes back there right now, "We made a mistake."

- I love 'em.

- Yeah, I love 'em too.

All right, anything you wanna say, encourage people with who are going through some things during this time?

I'm sure you've been through some things in your life.

- It would be easy for me to say just continue to pray.

It would be easy to say that, but hold your head up and do what you gotta do.

God will do the rest.

- All right then, that sounds like a good one to me.

(band members clapping) All right, did you just bring one song or you got a couple more?

- I got as many as you need.

- Oh my, (laughing) all right.

Well, if you were gonna do something right quick, like acapella, what would it be?

I'm putting you right on the spot.

Come on, quick, quick.

- "Send over my joy".

- Well, do it then.

Just a little bit of it.

Don't do one.

See, oh, see, see you are from Chicago, man, you're supposed to be quick now.

Lemme see if I still got my wallet back here since you're from Chicago.

I'm just kidding.

♪ And would I be sure No, no, no.

I know it doesn't sound like it, but trust Brother George.

Now, our Golden Vessel Salute tonight, what we're gonna do is we're gonna salute the seniors at Nutrition Center there in Greensboro, Alabama.

- Wow, hello, how are you?

- Hello, Mr. George?

- It's good to see you.

- I need a hug.

- Yeah, well, you got it.

Welcome back to "Alabama Gospel Roots".

- It's so good to be here, thank you.

- Yes, how have you been?

Happy New Year.

- Thank you, Happy New Year to you.

- We haven't seen each other this year.

- We kinda look good together in this red and black.

- We do, we do.

- Blue, I think that's blue, which is cool.

- Yeah, blue and black, and all of that.

- Yeah, absolutely.

- Wow, awesome, powerful songs.

- Thank you.

- And you write, if not all of your songs, most of 'em.

- Yes, I've written all these, yes.

- All of these songs.

- The second one, Vestal Goodman actually recorded it.

She's from Fife.

She recorded it probably 20 something years ago.

- Yeah.

- So, but I just decided today I'd do it.

- Hey, put that original twist on it.

- Yes sir, that's right, that's right.

- Great, well turn around there, and let's look out there for the people to see you there.

- Hi!

- There are a lot of aspiring seniors and writers, say something to encourage them.

- Oh, goodness, oh goodness.

You know what?

I am a product.

I'm a little bitty Alabama girl.

Grew up in Piedmont, Alabama.

- Piedmont.

- And we had a high school band, and stuff like that, which was wonderful.

But I eventually moved to Nashville, and I was a naive singer back in the day.

Okay, I know you Alabama folks are not gonna love that, but that's okay.

But anyways, I love my youth singers.

That gave me a spurt, and then I moved to Nashville.

And you know what you gotta do?

You just gotta keep singing.

- Keep singing.

- Keep singing, keep praising the Lord, and keep praying for Him to show you His will.

And so, that's the big part of it is I just had to keep doing what I knew that He had gifted me to do, sing, and then it became to write some too, But you just gotta keep doing what your craft is and what God gave you, what He put in you.

And then pray for somebody to help lead you along the way.

- Got you.

Well, I'll tell you what, if you take what Ms. Kelly has just said, it'll help you.

So don't get discouraged because success is just you doing okay obeying.

- That's right.

- Can we say that?

- Amen, that's right.

- All right, well, listen, Ms. Kelly Garner, thank you again for joining us on "Alabama Gospel Roots".

- Thank you Mr. George.

It's wonderful to be here.

- You were with us last time, and everybody agreed that we got to convince her.

- Oh, it was fun.

- All right, well, let's stay, let's stay.

One of these days, you know, you're gonna come back and we're gonna get with Dennis, and you're going to do at least 30 minutes.

- Oh, that's wonderful, that'd be fun.

- We're just gonna turn you loose and let you go.

- Oh, that'd be fun.

I'll share several songs that I've written, that'll be fun.

- You gonna just do what you do.

- Okay, all right, let's do it.

- Well again, on "Alabama Gospel Roots", let's welcome back Ms. Kelly Garner.
