She later became a fulltime member of Community Baptist Church where her father served as pastor for 25 years. During this time a group formed, the Talbert and Bryant Sisters. They performed at numerous churches and events throughout Central Texas. Linda was called on by other ministers to sing and play, for everyone loved her elegant voice.
