My gospel-singing family appears in the March, 2022 issue of Reminisce Extra magazine. I’m thrilled. My parents, Sister Fern and Brother Ray Jones, would be thrilled too. This excerpt from my book, “The Glory Road: a Gospel Gypsy Life” continues a years-long relationship with the company that publishes this magazine.
It’s from a chapter about Johnny Cash recording
a song Mother wrote.
Our family read every issue of Readers Digest until the pages were soft as tissue then we passed them along to others. Readers Digest is owned today by Trusted Media Brands, a company that also owns several other magazines. Years ago I received a gift subscription to one of their publications, “Taste Of Home” magazine, fell in love with it, saw an ad for “Reminisce” and subscribed. Every other month, it’s “Reminisce Extra.” Which brings us to today, when my advance copy arrived with a story from my new book inside.
Thanks to Trusted Media Brands’ Mary-Liz Shaw, my publisher, University of Alabama Press and UAP Marketing Director, Clint Kimberling for putting this together.
