Mosie Lister is With the Master
The first time I saw Mosie Lister in person was at the National Quartet Convention. The Booth Brothers were singing on the main stage, and Mosie joined them in singing, “Still Feeling Fine.”
I believe it was the next year that I attended the convention with my grandparents and had the blessing of working it out for them to meet him. They were absolutely thrilled, as they had sung his songs for years. Grandma said he was the most humble person to work with.
I did not have the opportunity to spend a lot of time with him but he seemed to be very genuine and caring. That speaks more loudly than anything he could have said to me.
I know he will be missed by all who knew him but I’ve no doubt that he is with the Master that he wrote about for years. One day, I will meet him and maybe we’ll have some time to talk.
Good Morning Sony, Nice article you wrote on Mosie. It’s funny, we started following the Booth Brothers in 1998 or 1999. At the NQC in 2002, Mosie was at the Booth Brothers booth and my wife and her sister came back to where I was and stated excitedly that they had met Mosie there. They commented on how sweet a person he was. I personally never had the chance to meet him, but I loved his music. It’s funny, but I for several years thought Hovie and Mosie were brothers. Someone, later informed me that they were not even related.
Love your articles. Keep them coming.
