In 1975 at the age of 22 Sonny was saved and joined a small Free Will Baptist Church in South Carolina. Baptized in Black River in the middle of November Sonny began his walk of faith. It was a journey that would take him through many southern states as a bivocational pastor. These efforts were difficult but not as difficult, nor as rewarding as a young inexperienced minister's efforts to over come the South's refusal to die. The things that happen along that journey are as rocky and as blue as the music it created. Things that happen during this time were the things songs are written about.
