The dollar bills and change that she saved grew to $250,000, and then in 1995, four years before she passed away, she gave $150,000 to endow scholarships for black students hometown University of Southern Mississippi\u2014where tuition at that time was $2,400 a year.<\/p>\n<p><em>The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0article said, \u201cDay after day \u2026 she took in bundles of dirty clothes and made them clean and neat for parties she never attended, weddings to which she was never invited, graduations she never saw.\u201d\u00a0She didn\u2019t have that education opportunity because she quit school in the sixth grade to go to work. She saw it as a blessing because too many\u00a0other black people in rural Mississippi did not have even that.\u00a0She never married and never had children. \u201cI wanted to share my wealth with the children,\u201d said Miss Ola, whose only real regret was that she never went back to school.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16931\" style=\"width: 670px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16931\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16931\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Austin-Church-3-Photo-Credit-Dean-Wilson.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Credit Dean Wilson\" width=\"660\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Austin-Church-3-Photo-Credit-Dean-Wilson.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Austin-Church-3-Photo-Credit-Dean-Wilson-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16931\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit Dean Wilson<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When we asked Church why \u201cMiss Ola\u201d means so much to him, he said \u201cBlack History Month honors noted African Americans\u2014celebrating their contributions to the American experience. February was chosen to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. Miss Ola\u2019s circumstances denied her the chance for a higher education, so she did what she could do\u2014she washed and ironed clothes for 75 years, and saved a great deal of money which enabled deserving kids to attend college.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The one thing that makes Church beam with pride is that his song will continue to shine the light on Miss McCarty\u2019s humble and self-sacrificing life\u2014her hard work and ability to save an incredible amount of money, and especially because it provides a spotlight on the value of education.<\/p>\n<p>Church clearly remembers recording \u201cMiss Ola\u201d at Davis Causey\u2019s studio, and having all the wonderful musicians bring his song to life, especially having his friend Randall Bramblett on piano. He was so happy that Ralph Clemente produced and directed the video because he feels \u201cthis is a story the world needs right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can hear the Churchman\u2019s music on any of his four albums: <em>Dreamin\u2019 Backwards<\/em> (2002), <em>Propitious M\u00e9lange<\/em> (2008), <em>In the Blue Ago<\/em> (2010) and <em>Walkin\u2019 in Outa Leavin\u2019<\/em> (2012).<\/p>\n<p>Austin Church continues to write and record his music, play at music festivals and participate in songwriting events.

The humble, serene, innocent eyes of this washerwoman looked at me, and I thought, here is my paradigm. The rest of the world got swept away. It took me until 2004 to complete the song, but I felt now I\u2019m doing what I should be doing. If I possibly can, I want to get my \u201cread\u201d of this story out to the world. I want to thank y\u2019all at Mmusicmag.com for shining the light back on \u201cMiss Ola.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your creative process for writing songs?<\/strong><br \/>\nSomething occurs, and I feel it\u2019s something I should say\u2014so I\u2019ll write it down in a \u201cHook Book,\u201d or I\u2019ll just start singing it. Sometimes I\u2019ll fool around with guitar riffs, and it will take shape from there. Other times when I walk, I carry little white cards, the size of business cards. Quite often when I get back, I have a complete song.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you keep song ideas fresh?<\/strong><br \/>\nI keep fresh by staying fast and loose. If you overthink, fret or calculate, you might stiffen up. The words and melodies, I just let \u2019em rip, and make it an adventure. Like my dad said when I was pitching, \u201cSon, just rare back and fog \u2019em in there.\u201d New ideas are life\u2014live it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has co-writing shaped your music?<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen someone sees a scene, it\u2019s different from everyone else.

After reading about all the guitars Steve Earle pawned, due to a near-fatal addiction, I wrote \u201cPawn Shop Guitar.\u201d I wanted to give the guitar a say\u2014it\u2019s actually the guitar singing the song. Then there\u2019s a song I haven\u2019t written yet. I met Aaron Jett at Vanderbilt Children\u2019s Hospital, where I sang on Fridays back in 1982. He was the most excited, energetic, wide-eyed boy\u2014he never gave a notion he was fighting with \u201cLuke\u201d [leukemia]. One day he dressed in a Superman suit and ran around the courtyard, cape flying. He flew to heaven shortly thereafter. I\u2019m calling the song \u201cAaron Jett Can Fly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about writing songs with Jimmy Buffett and other songwriters.<\/strong><br \/>\nWriting with Jimmy Buffett was a kick. We have one song, \u201cBrand New Country Star.\u201d He sang our song on stage the night we wrote it. Hope there\u2019s another one. I love writing with others. Johnny Christopher, who wrote \u201cYou Were Always on My Mind,\u201d was so solid. We wrote \u201cWhen a High Becomes a Low.\u201d There was Joe Sun, who could reach out there and grab the left field stuff\u2014always fun. And Rich Fagan was a songwriting machine. I\u2019m lucky to have a few with him. Then there\u2019s Brent Moyer\u2014what can I say\u2014a musical champ. And John Carpenter is a new co-writer for me. He brings a lot of theory to the table\u2014great thinker, creative storyteller.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did Townes Van Zandt influence your music?<br \/>\n<\/strong>The fact that he thought I \u201chad something\u201d took me to a great place in music. He was deep, but he showed me the depths by a captivating trip, then we\u2019d crawl back into the world and fling a song at each other. He\u2019d always try to \u201cget you\u201d\u2014keep you on your toes. He took tongue-in-cheek right past the left molar. He gave me a book of poems by Pablo Neruda. I\u2019m thinking, Townes is a master poet and he digs this guy\u2014this must be the stuff. Thanks, Townes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What songwriting tip would you like to offer?<\/strong><br \/>\nThis tip is really more for me. You got three minutes\u2014bring it. It\u2019s a cherished space in time. If you throw some words at it, it might not be fulfilling. Pull away from it, like an artist stepping back from a painting. Don\u2019t be afraid to rework it. Ask yourself, \u201cIs it just sounds and words, or does it sing?\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16928\" style=\"width: 670px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16928\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16928\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Austin-Church-9-with-Roy-Acuff.jpg\" alt=\"Austin Church with Roy Acuff\" width=\"660\" height=\"442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Austin-Church-9-with-Roy-Acuff.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Austin-Church-9-with-Roy-Acuff-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16928\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Austin Church with Roy Acuff<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Who influenced you to pick up the instruments you now play?<\/strong><br \/>\nI play guitar, harp, snare drum, and peck, not pick, the piano. When I was a boy of eight or nine, I\u2019d see street musicians with guitars, and was in a state of wonder. The strings would glimmer in the sunshine as they rared back, moaning out a tune. I\u2019d watch a local TV music show as a kid in Montgomery, with Jack Turner out front, and I was fascinated by the guitars, super 400s, flat tops and steels. A guy in a high school band played a Fender Mustang, and that was ultra-cool. Of course, when Elvis came on Ed Sullivan with his Martin D-28\u2014that was it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who inspired you to write songs?<\/strong><br \/>\nI loved poetry in high school English. I started writing poems after school, and everything sprang from there. So I\u2019d say Donne, Keats and the rest of them word slingers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where were you the first time you heard one of your songs on the radio?<\/strong><br \/>\nI basically started my music in Athens, Georgia, in the late 60s, early 70s. In \u201975 I went to Nashville for the first time and cut a record with just me and my guitar. The album was called <em>Out of the Rain<\/em>. I traveled back to Athens, and heard it on the local radio station, and\u2014blastoff. My mind was dancing on sparkling jewels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about working with some music legends.<\/strong><br \/>\nRight after I met Townes in Athens, he had me on stage between his sets. I opened for him in Nashville and Birmingham\u2014incalculable joy and validation. Guy Clark had me record a song in his office studio. I was thrilled. He also had my guitar fixed. (<em>Laughs<\/em>) I would sing for hours with Jack \u201cCowboy Clement in his office. I played my Martin and he played dobro. Then we went to a meat and three, came back and sang right into the night. Mentor Williams introduced me to Steve Cropper. I invited Steve to a club where I was playing, and he showed up. I introduced him to the crowd and said, \u201cHow \u2019bout helping us out up here, Steve.\u201d He jumped right up and grabbed a tele and played two numbers with us. Good Lord have mercy! (<em>Laughs<\/em>) I now live in Florida, and an amazing Florida singer-songwriter, guitar phenom\u2014the departed great Gamble Rogers\u2014inspired me tremendously. He spoke highly of my talent.
