Larry and his wife Sonda, started early in their marriage singing together and continued until he joined the Watchmen Quartet. Larry sang with the Watchmen for 8 years with a dear friend, Larry Laird. Then he and Gail Nelson formed the Crownsmen Quartet and enjoyed singing with them for many years.

Larry managed the finances for both groups and wrote several songs while singing with both quartets,

Larry took off from the quartet style singing for several years but continued to write songs. He also did solo engagements until he and Tim Wilson (who played piano for the Crownsmen) formed Foundation Music Ministry in 2002.

Larry and Tim continue to do the gospel duo format as their schedules allow.

Today, Larry uses his talents for the Lord by singing and writing songs. One can be sure that everytime he completes a song it does  come from the heart. Through his music the message is very clear. His desire is to uplift an individual,  re-establish a love for the Lord or bring about a knowlege of our Lord through his music. To his credit he has the talent and the ability to do this. That is God Given Talent.  His solo singing and songwriting has really kept him busy for the past year. The Lord continues to open doors for a very busy schedule.

Larry serves his local church, First Methodist Protestant Church of Newton, MS as worship leader and director of music. He is involved in the laymen's work at the general conference level of the Methodist Protestant Churches where he serves as President of the Laymen's Fellowship. This consists of work in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
