Music

Abernathy's first musical experience came with his father’s group, the Atco Quartet, at the age of five. His parents instilled a love for quartet music and the tradition of gospel singing conventions, where he learned to read shape notes. He was able to sing harmony with the quartet while standing on a Coca-Cola crate.

He studied music under James D. Vaughan, J. M. Henson, and Adger M. Pace. Lee Roy Abernathy - Wikipedia MAKE
