He moved to Colorado where he met another Arkansas musician Larry Womack. Larry Brick traveled to Florida to play some shows but was invited to begin playing Gospel Music in churches. This led him to a Christian label, Maranatha Records. They would play for the Calvary and Vineyard Chapels.

She had the opportunity to play with some of the members of Big Brother and the Holding Company.
