This is the old blowers and I want to tell you about tough. I want to tell you about Uncle Fred. He's a old man that lives down here. He's a He says he's 87 year old and I don't know if he knows or not but he he says he says he'll be 87 the Fourth of July and Like I say, I don't know if he really knows how old he is or not But he's a he's a old man and he ain't my uncle.
He that's not Everybody down here calls him uncle Fred, but his name is mr. Fred Wilhart But you can't call him you better not call him mister now some people call him old man Wilhart and that's all right with him, but he don't want nobody call him and mister Anyway, he lives down here about a quarter of a mile from the church and actually That church house is on his land He give him the the land to build the church and I think he paid for a whole lot of it You know he Fred will have to uncle Fred is one of the richest men in this country Sometimes I'll tell you about how he how he made his money. He ain't he ain't no crook I didn't mean that he's he he got it honest, but he is one of the richest people in this country and He ties, you know to the church every year and He says he does and and I believe you know I believe uncle Fred is telling the truth and they do have a lot of money at this church down here and Most of the other people ain't got much money. I mean they give what they can but uncle Fred you know he supports the church and the only thing I can tell you is that the preacher down here drives a new car every year and That's how much he's making and you know I don't know nobody else down here that does that so they must be paying the preacher a whole lot of money to you know to work down here and Uncle Fred he was a one that tried to get the preacher Fart down here and when you know this thing that I was telling you about about them them kittens That was that the preacher had hard to come down here and it made uncle Fred just mad He could be and he he was gonna fire the preacher and Some of the people talked to him and and told him that they ought to give him another chance and and uncle Fred finally said Well, he would but he said he better not do none of that kind of stuff again And and I don't think the preacher will because he's got a good thing and he knows it but Anyway, there's a lot of stories that I could tell you about uncle Fred and and I'll tell you one right now And then I'll tell you some more about uncle Fred because he really is interesting person He's a he's a good old man, but he thinks he you know He's sure of everything in other words if you're talking to him about something He'll say something you'll make a point and then he'll say Okay, and that means that the discussion is over He don't want to talk no more about it And so he just thinks he thinks he knows everything and so I don't argue with him You know, it don't do no good, but anyway, he was uh, he has he don't have no teeth So he can't talk plain, you know But he got the idea that he wanted to sing in the choir well, you know flossy butts sings in the choir and puts I mean a Francine Adams and They've got about 25 up and down there that that sings in the choir every every every week and so old uncle Fred Made up his mind that he was gonna sing with the choir and of course I don't go to that church I'm just telling you what what they told me and I talked to flossy about it because she goes to that church Regger and and she told me about this and I think she was telling the truth because flossy butts wouldn't lie but anyway this old uncle Fred decided that he was going to join the choir and he come a time or two and He you know, he can't sing.
He's a old man and his voice, you know cracks and then besides that He can't he can't talk plain. He you know, he he just a old man and and the people You know, they got to talk into the preacher and they said you got to talk to him that he He's messing up the choir and you know people can't Hear his can't hear what they're saying and he sings too loud and all of the the men that you know They've got to four or five six million that sings with that choir and they said they couldn't hear what they was saying And I was saying on account of a uncle Fred and they told the preacher that he was going to have to talk to uncle Fred and so the preacher Said he would and he called uncle Fred and they got to talk in and And the preacher said, you know, he told him. He said uncle Fred said We all has got abilities and things that we can do and and Gifts that we can share with other people and he said, you know, mine is preaching and he said, you know Yours is is doing good, you know for people and uncle Fred does do a whole lot of good. He uh, he he gave him the money for the air Conditioning for the church down there.
That's right. I'll tell you but so me that and he gave him the money for the carpet in the school House down here and what uncle Fred does is that if you asked him for something He won't give it to you But if he finds out that you want something he'll come down and he'll give it to you And that's the way he works So they let it out that that they needed carpet in the schoolhouse and uncle Fred give him the money to get it Well, anyway, I'm getting away from my story And I know him was gonna get on to me about this But anyway, I was gonna tell you that the preacher was talking to him and he was talking about the gifts that everybody had And he said and there's some things that People you know can't do that they just don't have the gift to do it and he said, you know some people can sing he said now you've heard flossy butts and and uh, oh Scott down there and said they can sing but he said I hate to tell you uncle Fred But he said that ain't one of your gifts and he said the people are telling me that That you can't sing and they'd like for you to get out of the choir and he said I wouldn't want to hurt you feelings No way in the world, but he said it's just you know He said they say that you off key in and maybe you ought to you know try to find another talent that you've got said All of us has got talents so the preacher was real nice to him, but uncle Fred, you know it made him mad he said who who who who said I couldn't sing and The preacher said well uncle Fred said I ain't gonna pass any names But he said I've heard Oh four or five of them say that you couldn't sing and uncle Fred said well, I'll tell you one thing preacher I ain't gonna try to talk like uncle Fred because I can't but he said You've heard four or five say I couldn't sing but I bet you I'm here to a hundred say you couldn't preach Now I didn't hear uncle Fred say that but flossy butts told me he did and and I believe flossy was telling me the truth But anyway uncle Fred, you know, he got mad and he got out of the choir But they ain't nothing that would make uncle Fred leave that church because he'd been there ever since the church was built and and he he supports the church and And they wouldn't I don't think they would be a church down there, but wasn't for uncle Fred So anyway, I thought you might like to hear that story and uh, I'll tell you some more about uncle Fred and and different ones I'm uh in a day or two.
