Yep... we later took the name of the Gibson City Pentecostal Church
Air Band.  The members were... Me, Bro Rich Martin, Bro Boone Farney,
Bro Gerald Welch, and Bro Raymond Zook (on the piano).  When you went 
to boot camp, Bro Rick Thompson took your place.

Yeah... It was "REST" .... my part was the bass singer (all we did folks
was lipsink to perfection common southern gospel songs) ....
My part went something like a bass guitar but vocally ...

boom, boom boom, ba-booom, boom, boom, boom
boom, boom boom, ba-booom, boom, boom, boom
boom-pa, boompa boompa boompa 
boompa boompa .... (it was really like this .. I didn't sing a
single intelligible word in the whole song).

We performed that so well, that when the music played and we started to
perform it, people actually thought we were really creating the music.
One year, we even won the talend competition at church camp with the
Gibson City Pentecostal Church Air Band.

We also sung a few other songs as well.

Yep... Bro Tyler... known as a oneness apostolic with a beard
and a broken ankle..... that's what I'll be known as.

Bro Tyler
