"I met Larry in 1975 when Charlie Daniel's band was playing shows with Grinderswitch. After Larry got saved, he was totally different. He was a fine and passionate man, and it showed in his music."

"I met Larry playing and ministering at Sturgis. He was one of the most soulful guitar players I've ever heard or played with. I was humbled when he asked me to play and write horn parts for this project. His love and passion for music was only second to his love for Jesus Christ."

"I met Larry in 1981 at Main Street Assembly of God. We became good friends and played many times together. Larry ventured out as a Gospel Blues artist and developed a passion for prison ministry. I was blessed to be part of the prison ministry work. I am humble and grateful to be part of Larry's final journey."
