Jeff Smith, when did you join the cast of Heel?
You were there like towards the end of the run, weren't you?
I did, I actually came on the same time Earlene came on.
They decided, when was it, Marsha?
I can't remember.
I don't either.
She's working on it.
83 or 84, they decided to add some new faces to the show.
And at that time, I was lucky enough to be one of the faces
that they added, and Earlene and I wrote it to the end.
It was a lot of fun, I couldn't believe it.
By the way, Wendy, I was in diapers at that time
while you were in high school.
And Larry Gatlin, I'm sorry,
but thank you for that mental picture.
Jeff, where are you from?
I'm from North Carolina.
Grew up in High Point, North Carolina,
and actually moved back there about 14 years ago.
I find it interesting that we talked,
and Lulu brought up the subject,
that in the beginning, they wouldn't allow gospel music
on Hee Haw, and yet there have been
several gospel songs today,
and I think you're gonna do one, aren't you, Jeff?
I am.
One of the things I've had the privilege to do,
one of the most fulfilling things I have done,
I think, in my career is when I moved back
to North Carolina, the church that I attend,
I was the praise and worship leader there
up until this past year when I stepped down.
Some of the most fulfilling things I've ever done in my life.
And I'd do it again.
Well, sing a song for us.
Well, let's do that.
[Dm] See if I can remember these lyrics
since Bill took mine away.
By the way, do these women just not look [C#] outstanding?
Outrageously gorgeous.
Thank you, praise and worship leader.
[D] Yes, sir.
In the name of Jesus, keep it [D#] coming, we thank you.
Thank you, Lord.
[Dm] Don't let them change, please, whatever you do.
[B] Thank you, Lord.
Give me on this one.
Thank you, Bill.
Thank you, Bill.

[N] Great job, Jeff.
That's it, you must have felt like you were back
singing in church, everybody was jumping.
Well, this always felt like church.
I mean, this was the best dysfunctional family
I've ever been a part of.
You know, because if you think about it,
we're all dysfunctional, our ancestors
got kicked out of a garden.
[D#] [Bm] Oh, yeah.
