Now Mitchell Evans I would add another father and that was the late Pastor Timothy Wright. Most people today do not remember him as an organist. But when I got saved in 1978 Pastor Wright and Professor Heyward were the best organists at the time out of Brooklyn! Brooklyn has been blessed with such a rich heritage of talented artists some well known and others known locally. But it does make my heart glad to see Professor Heyward is still holding it down in musical praise unto the Lord!
