WOW….just listening to you guys brings back memories…I’m not sure If its from memory or from the VHS’s that I used to play over and over and wish I was part of. I’m heading to Nashville the 1st weekend of March, I would LOVE to meet up with some of you if you are available….Last time we talked was the first time I met Craig since I was young….he never contacted me again until him and his wife “supposedly” had problems…coming from a “christian” home…I couldn’t imagine leaving my family…..I don’t know if any of you have any contact with him, but I guess I have ALOT of unanswered questions….IF someone could please get ahold of me and at least email with me back and forth then maybe I could get over the abandonment that I’ve felt all these years….I watch you guys perform online and It brought tears to my eyes….of all the things we rememeber in life, its funny how I recognize you guys and automatically think your family…I have NO memory of craig’s side of family….My daughter has been sick since she was born, she’s now 3… I need to know family history…But don’t want to talk to him…please understand. Thanks and hoping to hear from someone soon….

Love Tara Hodges

The bus driver for the Blackwood Brothers which was Ken T, Pat H, Jimmy B, Cecil B, Tommy F & James B was Bill Garner. Rick Price sang during intermission, or beginning of 2nd 1/2 and ran the sound.

I say, great to all no matter what name they use. As long as they are all singing for the glory of God, just thank all of them for their undieing willingness to sing for souls.

Chris is Cecil’s grandson…Mark’s son.

So of what relation was Chris to James or Cecil?

Yes, that is true. There is no Blackwood in the group. Chris Blackwood left right after Blackwood Legacy was organized.

Well, according to Blackwood Legacy’s website – the group originally started with one Blackwood, Chris Blackwood. Also, there are pictures showing Rick Price singing with Cecil’s Blackwood Brothers.

However, Chris has been gone for some amount of time now, (I couldn’t find out exactly how long on the website). So, that being said – Blackwood Legacy, run by Rick Price, is the only group out there proudly waving the Blackwood name around without actually having a Blackwood in it.

Rick Price sang with Cecil, Jimmy, and Ken during the 80’s…and then with the last “Cecil Blackwood” Brothers during the late 1990’s, until Cecil died in 2000. Not sure where you go that info…I heard Rick sing many times. He may have originally been a bus driver, but sang solos until joining the quartet. Actually there was another man who traveled with them in the 80’s that was the bus driver…his name at the moment escapes me.
