My brother, Barry, was visiting us in Wilson this past July 4th weekend. It was great having he and his family with us. I always ask him to sing when he visits. Our WCC family loves to hear him.
When I asked him to sing, he said, "Let's do one of the old Willow Branch Quartet numbers with the 'man-tet' (The 'man-tet' is what we call ourselves when we sing as an all male quartet). You know, something we grew up hearing."
"OK. The mantet it is!" I responded.
It's such a blessing to sing the old songs with my brother and my sons. When we sing I can almost hear my mother, my grandmother, and the rest of the old quartet singing.
What a great heritage.
