Glendil Griffin bought a little guitar at a thrift store as a young boy and taught himself to play.  It all came together for him when a cousin took him into a Sunday School room at church and taught him how to hear and play the chord progressions in a song. He taught Glendil how to play a song by ear, knowing when to transition from one chord to another.  In high school, Glendil started learning to play piano at around the age of seventeen.  He took  any opportunity between classes to hone his craft in the band room. 

 Playing instruments was something Glendil loved to do, but had not really thought much about singing.  He sang automatically while learning chords on the guitar.  One day, his pastor heard him singing while playing the guitar.  He  noticed how good Glendil's voice was and asked him to do a special song in church.  

 “The very first song I ever sang publicly was ‘Come Morning’ by the Nelons.  I was scared to death!  I had never sung for anyone in my life.  I had to overcome a lot of anxiety.  At the end of the song, I put my head down.  My cousin tapped me on the shoulder and said ‘Look up!’  When I raised my head, there were many people at the altar and others praising the Lord all over the church.  I knew at that moment without a doubt God was going to use my singing in my music ministry,”
