In Their Words: “I can just about sing anything anyone else sings. I never bragged on myself, but this was a gift from God and the Bible says, âA gift comes without repentance.â In other words, you donât have to be a Christian to be able to sing. If youâve got that God-given gift you can do it — your choice if you want to sing rock ‘n’ roll, blues, gospel — but I choose the right side.â — Elder Jack Ward
