First of all, I got to finally meet "THE GUYS" after wanting to ever since I was about 10 or 11 years old. Teddy told us all who were waiting to meet the whole group that they weren't exactly "quitting", but, that they were just slowing-down. They are going into the stream-line of gospel music now. Something of which they have all been wanting to do for some time now, but, they have never had the chance !!!!! Not only that, but, their record label that they were with --- which is --- RCA --- would not allow them to do gospel as long as they had their contract agreement. So, naturally, they had to find someone else to sign with that would allow them to sing gospel !!!!!!!!!!!!! Randy, Teddy, Mark, and Jeff are all a great group of guys. Even more so now that I even think about it --- because they sacrificed much more than you or I could ever have imagined !!!!!!!!!! They are now much older than what they were in the 70's and 80's and so am I !!!!!!!! Older and wiser !!!!!!!!!!! I hope that they continue on to do what they want to do, what they love to do, and I hope that they are happy every step of the way !!!!!!!!!!!!!! So what if "MY BOYS" don't quit touring --- more power to 'em. But, I don't think that they would exactly put all of their fans through a gimmick !!!!!!!!!!!!! They are all down to earth, nice, fun-loving guys whom 3 of them are from one of the great southern states here in the south that we know by the name of ---- ALABAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Randy, Mark, Teddy, and Jeff ---- Thank You guys for giving so much of yourselves to all of us ----- your fans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys to me, are the best, and you always will be !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sincerely, Andrea D.

Oh wait, that's about something else. 18824@blogcritics.org Mon, 15 Sep 2003 18:22:22 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/15/145252.php#comment-18812 Marketing ploy for farewell tours is right. I don't think many fans truly believe artists when they say it's their "last" tour, but there is always that "what if" factor since none of us really know when our last second on earth will be. 18812@blogcritics.org Mon, 15 Sep 2003 16:45:31 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/15/145252.php#comment-18797 Thanks Bobby, that's a tremendous record that a lot of people aren't aware of. I like a lot of their songs, though I certainly couldn't name 42! 18797@blogcritics.org Mon, 15 Sep 2003 15:05:16 EDT
