Jerry: We have a very rich history in music . . . J. B. Sullivan was my father and he's really the one that started us to playing music . . . He would play for us on Saturday night and take us fox huntin' after he had played the banjo. Then Reverend Arthur Sullivan, my brother, . . . started us all singing gospel songs by carrying us to those old brush arbors. He learned to play a mandolin and he would get up and lead the choir with the mandolin. His oldest son (Enoch Sullivan) and me and all of his children and my sister Susie and all of them, we began to sing and he took us to radio stations. And then later on, when his oldest son married, well, he married a singer. It's Margie -- the whole Bluegrass knows her (Margie Brewster Sullivan). Well, then finally he passed away and then it wound up with Enoch and Margie, Emmett, and Jerry [as The Sullivan Family].
