As I was making this show I learned that Hubert Cooke, one half of famed gospel singers the Cooke Duet,had died. He spent over 60 years traveling this country ministering and singing honest-to-goodness coutry gospel with his wife Jeanette, and subequently their children. Please accept this small tribute to a wonderful life in music.
