They were always "the band" to various front men and so the name stuck.

Frank toured some but I don't think Virgil did.
Now my great-grandmother told my mother that she remembered her uncles coming over to play. Frank and Virgil were her uncles.
Interesting. I know that there were lots and lots of gospel songs produced by "Stamps-Baxter" (Music Company, et al.). And many of them were very popular. Would all of those songs have been written by your great-great grand uncles?
