The McKeithens
What would this world be with-
out music? If we never had a song
to sing? Music fills our hearts with
love and sunshine. Dixie
~McKeithen says, "I can't imagine
life without a song to sing."
"A World Without Music" was
written by Dixie McKeithen in
- 1985. The McKeithens have cen-
- tered their lives around God, coun-
“ry, family, ministry and music.
You just cannot imagine them
without a song to sing because that
is their ministry.
.. Over 20 years ago in Bastrop,
“La., two couples, Joe and
LaBreeska Hemphill, and their
nephew, Tim McKeithen and his
wife Dixie, came together to form
the popular musical group "The
Hemphills." After many years trav-
eling with the family, Tim and
Dixie began their own ministry.
Music has always been impor-
tant to the McKeithens. Tim's dad
was a member of the McKeithen
Brothers who sang throughout the
“south in the 1930's and '40s.
Growing up the son of a minister,
lie was exposed to many singing
schools taught by his father.
Whether singing, playing his guitar
or being the spokesman for the
group, a genuine, sincere love for
the Lord shines through.
© A God-given musical talent was
instilled in Dixie at an early age.
She began her musical career at
age eight by playing the piano for
her church. She later attended a
Christian college and met Tim.
