4 年Duane, I have been a fan since the days when y'all were a gospel quartet with Little Willie and a young boy named Little David Smith opened for y'all in Springhill Louisiana. Y'all have brought so much joy to millions of people worldwide and I can't wait to see y'all back out on the road as well as Paul, Jamie and the kids. God bless y'all and I look forward to many more years with The Oaks.
