How Did NC Mountain Preachers From The 1970s Predict The Future and Our Current World Condition? Tony Lee Glenn 2024-10-19 | In this video I share my memories about sermons I heard in my childhood (1970s and early 1980s) that pretty much nailed it in predicting the conditions and problems of our current world. I talk about end-times, the Rapture, Tribulation, Millennial Reign of Jesus, and much more. I talk a bit about the Shroud of Turin, the trend of government to acknowledge Aliens and UFOs, etc. There is so much I was hearing 40-plus years ago from Bible-believing pastors and evangelists who were simply sharing insight from the King James Bible. Please share your comments and thoughts if you have similar experiences. God bless you all!

Why a Baritone Guitar is Awesome for Low Down Blues Tony Lee Glenn 2024-10-15 | It's pretty nice to get to play B minor blues with a guitar that lets you play like you are in the key of E.

Please forgive me for a bit of sloppy playing, but I think you'll see why I love playing this guitar. As a guitarist/bassist, it's sort of the best of both worlds.
