"Southern Gospel according to Larry Polston"
featured in "The Pensacola News Journal"
by Jerry Kovach: March 6, 1992

"Larry Polston is a budding music course publisher - and already has some of the big names in Southern gospel music peddling his Southern Gospel's Own Piano Course... his course is the #1 Southern gospel course on the market.
At their concerts, groups like the Gold City Quartet, the Hoppers, the Cathedrals, and the Kingsmen set up tables offering the course... Polston debuted his course at the Bonifay All Night Gospel Sing - sort of like an annual Woodstock of Southern Gospel... "It sold just like hot cakes." [Polston] says."

"[Larry Polston] gives all credit for the phenomenal success of Rain Tree Publications to God... "Rain Tree, Southern Gospel's Own Piano Course is bringing in more sales than any other gospel course on the Market." Anthony Burger with the Kingsmen has said, "We can not keep the supply. We order and run out. We will support any product by Rain Tree." "None of this could have been accomplished if it had not been for God. It's his piano course. I'm just the president of the company and presidents can change... so I must stay in the center of his will," Polston stated."

"Larry Polston of Holmes County has created a southern gospel piano course which is the number one selling course across the nation... "The Southern Gospel's Own Piano Course, which I have completed is intended for people who have at least six months of music lessons, or for those who can play by ear...

"Last October, Polston debuted three years of work, his piano course, at a convention. During the past several months, he has been labeled as the number one gospel music course writer in the nation by Spring Harbor Distributors... "I incorporated the southern gospel industry into producing this product. The top 25 groups have given me their helpful hints. I didn't produce this course, the industry did." Polston said anyone who can learn piano songs by ear can benefit from the course, as well as beginning/advanced students."
