Woody was a member of FBC Keller for over 25 years singing in the choir for most of that time and occasionally conducting it. He conducted choirs going way back to his time in Libya as well as Baytown, Malaysia and Norway and even practiced conducting from his hospital bed so he would be ready to conduct his heavenly choir, which he is undoubtedly doing.
