Bluegrass Charley's Song

This is my story, This is my song I was born n' raised in the Ozark Mountains near Branson, Missouri, I don't remember my family having much of anything except a bunch of love. At the tender age of 15 I began searching for something but didn't really know what I was looking for! I felt I had a void in my life, one night I was invited (By my Aunt Nellie Carnelison) to a revival meetin' in a little one room school house n' that's where I met Jesus for the first time, I was born again n' I found what my heart was searching for... A short time later the evangelist Charlie Vanhalton ask me if I would like to help him in revivals n' I jumped at the chance.... We would stretch a tent in the summer time n' then hold revivals in the one room school houses in winter time n' that's when I first started Singin' n' writtin' at the age of 16. Then at the age of 18 I started learning to play guitar n' started my recordin' career as well. I also at that time stated playin' with a minister Jack Keithley n' the Ozark Country Boys all the time gainin' experience, I stayed with Jack n' the Boys about 3 years.... While at a camp meetin' in Arkansas I met Brother Johnny Holt n' we started a 15 minute program on KBHM radio out of Branson, Mo which was broadcast live every Sunday mornin'. It's popularity had grown so much in 3 years time that we were up to a 2 hour taped program on Sunday mornin'. I went out on my own in the 1980's ... I started a music center n' formed a band called Bluegrass Charley Carnelison n' the Ozark Mountain Sunnysiders, This was when I picked up the name Bluegrass Charley, my banjo player Archie "HossFly" Taylor referred to me as Bluegrass Charley n' the name has stuck all of these years. I ran the shop in Reeds Spring, Mo. for about 10 years n' continued playin' Bluegrass Gospel music. In the early 1990's I started ministerin' in God's word n' holdin' revivals, And in about 2000 I formed my last group Bluegrass Charley n' 20-20 Vision but noe I am retired because of hearin' loss. I got the group name 20-20 Vision from a song I wrote back in 1967 entitled 20-20 Vision. I first recorded it in 1972 n' it quickly became my most requested song n' still is today.20-20 Vision has put a lot of gas in my car n' a lot of food on my table over the years, I just recently found out they are playing that old album yet today in Sweden n' many other countries around the world!You'll find my music at https: //www.reverbnation.com/control_room/artist/4120800/dashboard?sofia_tour=true I am currently Local Rank #2 not to bad for a Country Boy. Friends no matter what I've accomplished in life, what I've done or where I've been I'm still nothin' without Jesus n' I've done nothin' without Jesus! Jesus is the singer, Jesus is the writer n' Jesus is the minister not me! I'm just a tool He sometimes uses for His Work! "I'M NOTHING WITHOUT JESUS" n' that's an under statement!
