I went to Charleston, 1st Baptist, yesterday and took the head of the Music Department at Semo to meet my sister, Betty Cooper Hearnes! Dr. Kevin Hampton is a Baptist preacher's kid and had a Fulbright Scholarship to study piano in Paris, among other things! I knew that they would hit it off! And they did!
He was wowed by the Steinway and the organ and they played duets together! Then he played for her to sing, "My God is Real"! Then he sat on the Steinway and played old hymns out of the Broadman as we called out the titles!
It was an amazing afternoon! It restored my soul!
