A couple of weeks ago I shared a video of Hickory Stand’s fall festival performance. Today I’m sharing a concert they did at the Historic Union County Courthouse in Blairsville, GA.
Over the years our family has been blessed to play the courthouse’s Friday night concert series many times. It was really nice to see Paul and his band on the stage again.
We really enjoyed the concert and so did the rest of the audience. Hope you did too!
Today’s giveaway is a copy of the cd Live to Never Die. It has selected original songs written by Jerry “Pap” Marshall Wilson. Pap and Paul are both featured on the cd. Along with the original songs there are five classic hymns sung by Pap. To be entered in the giveaway leave a comment on this post. Giveaway ends November 19, 2026.

What a great way to start a Sunday morning. Paul was certainly blessed with such fine musical talent! Had to look up the Blairsville Courthouse and read about it! It has the same style architecture of our family church in SC. The church is much smaller. Whenever I go back to SC, I always try to go into the church if its unlocked and sit and say a prayer on the same pew my family always sat on. Just brings back such wonderful and blessed memories!
Watched Corie last night gathering the end of her garden crop for the year. She is such a kind and soft spoken young lady. Loved the part where she explained about things are not done through us but through God. She was so kind to the mouse and so gentle relocating the salamander. Tipper and Matt. Those are some fine girls ya”ll raised. I just love both of them so much. Plus, they are both such good Little Mama’s to those precious boys.
I pray that Corie’s diet staightens out her digestive issue. I believe so in the power of prayer. Know it has to be hard staying on that special diet especially this time of year when you have a husband and son. Just know that the good Lord will heal sweet Corie and she will soon be back to eating whatever she wants soon. Have always thought Gorie and Katie both should be in ministry!
Love to all the Acorns. Know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers!
Thank you Martha! And Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a wonderful day 🙂
My favorite Christmas CD is Pap and Paul’s. I’d love another one.
I enjoy hearing Paul and Pap singing,love their voices. I would love a CD to enjoy .
Would like the cd. We love the Simon and Garfunkel songs on the video!
I don’t own a CD player anymore so please remove me from the chance of winning one. I listen to music the “new fangled ways” when I do listen. Heck, even when I listen to the local news on the AM station, I stream it lol!! Good peaceful Sunday morning to you Acorns. I’m looking out at a huge carpet of green ginkgo leaves about 3″ deep. That’s going to have to be taken care of in the next day or so. Can’t leave them or they’ll smother out the grass on that whole part of the yard. Thank you for your kind words, thoughts & prayers, Debbie. I appreciate them soooo much. Bless all who come in need this beautiful day♡
good morning brother Paul, I enjoy your music and songs, thank you for always having something available, something pleasurable and enjoyable, God bless you very much
Thank you so much for sharing another concert with us. I hope everyone has a beautiful, blessed day.
Since I have already won a copy of this wonderful CD I am not in the running for another one. I just want to say how much I live this CD. I find myself singing along with Paul and Pap with these beautifully written songs. Pap had a very unique way if bringing God’s message to anyone who will listen to the music and Paul’s singing his father’s songs is wonderful. The last five songs are song by Pap (Jerry Wilson) as only he could sing them. So I highly recommend if you love the Wilson Brothers music you will love this CD.
I enjoy hearing this original music and original presentation of the old music.
I love the purity and honesty that comes through from your family’s music. I would enjoy this cd a great deal. Good luck everyone.
I enjoyed that video.
Wonderful singing, as always! “I shall not be moved” needs to be a song in our hearts daily in this life right now! I still hope Paul makes a Hickory Stand CD soon.
I have the wonderful CD you are giving away, so please remove me. Pap’s voice gets to me each time I hear him sing. Touches my soul.
Kim, I’m praying for you and your grands! It’s so hard to watch those we love carry such burdens and walk through the fires of life, but our Savior sees all and knows every need. We lift your cancer journey and your grands to the Lord, sweet friend. God bless you!
Randy, I thought “awe shucks”, when you said you teased me. I should have known that! I love your sense of humor. I’m one of those people that jokes go right over their heads. My brothers were always joking around and teasing me. Mr. Randy, I meant ever word I said. You touch my heart with your stories and caring ways! God bless you!
God bless all y’all! May you find many blessings in your day! God is good!
Debbie, I appreciate your kind words, but feel like I am undeserving of them. I am bad to tease and joke around with people I like, so take my teasing you as me saying I like you. Your “awe shucks” made me think of my 38 years of working blue collar jobs at Michelin. We would joke and say one “awe shucks” (sometimes another word used for shucks) would wipe out 10 “atta boys.”
That’s wonderful news! God Bless your beautiful family! Love from Boston! ❤️
Such a great way to listen to local music!
What a pleasure to hear Paul and his band!
God blessed them with the talent of music,
Making beautiful fellowship in song.
I would enjoy listening to the cd as I am doing my inside chores each day.
This would be a wonderful cd to have!
No doubt, I would love to hear this CD.
