Congratulations to the new Fla Boys. I am sorry I was unable to be there due to illness. I had been looking forward to this night for a long time. Sorry fellows. I would have enjoyed the visit and music. It took a lot of nerve to use a name such as I have known this class act for a long time. The five men who are the new Fla Boys are the ones I would have chosen to pull this off. They will be a great success. Les, Glen and Darrell have to be proud of the continuation of the legacy started by them. Many of my friends were there and said it was awesome and they know what they are talking about. Keep it up.
Love you guys and look forward to seeing all of you at the grand ole gospel reunion in August.
Your friend,
Dwight

I think that they should have given the opportunity to Josh, or Gene or Harold to continue on with the name and bring in who they thought would be best, but no..they supposedly "retired" and then let these other guys come back as the "New Florida Boys"...which I personally think is wrong

Harold joined the Kingsmen in the spring of 2007, Gene left in February of 07 and now is driving for Gordon Mote and appearing some with the Gaither entourage. Neither were part of the group when they officially left the road in July of 07. Josh was given the chance to sing with the new lineup but he decided he wanted to do solo work. The group continues with the approval of Les, Glen, and Derrell themselves. You evidently were not in the audience at Alabama for their debut, so therefore you really have no legitimate evidence of which to criticize the group you haven't had the chance to see or hear yet.

When their website and schedule is placed online (which should be soon, currently under construction... http://www.thefloridaboys.net), check to see when they will be in your area. Go watch their performance and get back with me.
