Wally Varner article

Posted in: News — Daniel J. Mount @ 6:01 pm

Florida’s Ledger Online has published an article on Wally Varner that is well worth reading. Varner played piano for the Blackwood Brothers during their glory days, when Bill Shaw, James and Cecil Blackwood, and J.D. Sumner took the Blackwood Brothers to the top of Southern Gospel music. Varner wrote several classic Southern Gospel songs, including “Crown Him King” and “Bells of Joy Keep Ringing.”

  • NQC to move to Indianapolis? (64)

    bwarner: Unintended consequences. Thanks for fixing it.
    Daniel J. Mount: That triggered when I had it sort by post.
