  • - and that, ladies and gentlemen,
  • 00:07:18.184 --> 00:07:19.552
  • Is what i really came to tell you tonight.
  • 00:07:19.552 --> 00:07:24.090
  • I want to welcome you tonight to a rather unique
  • 00:07:24.156 --> 00:07:26.926
  • And a little bit of a different setting.
  • 00:07:26.926 --> 00:07:30.429
  • It's gonna be an amazing night.
  • 00:07:30.496 --> 00:07:32.598
  • And i'm thrilled that you're here to share it with us.
  • 00:07:32.598 --> 00:07:35.468
  • But i want to be honest right at the onset of this thing
  • 00:07:35.468 --> 00:07:38.037
  • And tell you that when the idea was presented
  • 00:07:38.037 --> 00:07:42.842
  • To do an all-piano concert on this evening
  • 00:07:42.842 --> 00:07:46.812
  • And then the team said, oh,
  • 00:07:46.812 --> 00:07:48.347
  • And we should call it "kim's story,"
  • 00:07:48.347 --> 00:07:50.816
  • I came up for air with a resounding no.
  • 00:07:50.816 --> 00:07:54.687
  • [laughter]
  • 00:07:54.687 --> 00:07:57.089
  • There were a couple reasons for that.
  • 00:07:57.089 --> 00:07:58.624
  • One, though, it just sounded like a bunch of work
  • 00:07:58.624 --> 00:08:00.259
  • They wanted me to do.
  • 00:08:00.259 --> 00:08:01.961
  • [laughter]
  • 00:08:01.961 --> 00:08:04.964
  • But in all honesty, there is a handful
  • 00:08:04.964 --> 00:08:08.401
  • Of people in this room tonight
  • 00:08:08.401 --> 00:08:10.836
  • Who have known me my entire life.
  • 00:08:10.836 --> 00:08:13.105
  • And they will tell you that even though i've spent
  • 00:08:13.105 --> 00:08:16.075
  • The majority of my life on a platform or a stage
  • 00:08:16.075 --> 00:08:19.845
  • Somewhere playing the piano, i am a very private person.
  • 00:08:19.845 --> 00:08:25.284
  • But to be honest, i got to thinking about it,
  • 00:08:25.284 --> 00:08:28.487
  • And i said to phil, ok.
  • 00:08:28.487 --> 00:08:30.957
  • I said, if you think that my story,
  • 00:08:30.957 --> 00:08:33.359
  • Albeit so simple,
  • 00:08:33.359 --> 00:08:35.861
  • Could bring glory to god in this setting,
  • 00:08:35.861 --> 00:08:39.131
  • Then i'm willing to do it.
  • 00:08:39.131 --> 00:08:41.801
  • So tonight i invite you to come with me.
  • 00:08:41.801 --> 00:08:45.504
  • Let's take a little journey back,
  • 00:08:45.504 --> 00:08:48.341
  • Back to where it all started, where it all began.
  • 00:08:48.341 --> 00:08:55.881
  • Before i actually became the church pianist,
  • 00:08:55.948 --> 00:08:58.184
  • I remember, one sunday morning, i was probably
  • 00:08:58.184 --> 00:08:59.952
  • Around the age of seven.
  • 00:08:59.952 --> 00:09:01.587
  • And we were all getting ready for church.
  • 00:09:01.587 --> 00:09:03.289
  • I had seven siblings at the time,
  • 00:09:03.289 --> 00:09:04.890
  • So sunday morning was a busy time for our family.
  • 00:09:04.890 --> 00:09:06.959
  • We were all getting ready.
  • 00:09:06.959 --> 00:09:08.327
  • And my mom called me into her bedroom
  • 00:09:08.327 --> 00:09:10.463
  • To comb my hair that morning.
  • 00:09:10.463 --> 00:09:12.365
  • And she quietly whispered to me as she was combing my hair.
  • 00:09:12.365 --> 00:09:15.801
  • She said, kimberly, i'm running a little late,
  • 00:09:15.801 --> 00:09:19.071
  • So i'm gonna need you to play the prelude for church
  • 00:09:19.071 --> 00:09:21.507
  • This morning.
  • 00:09:21.507 --> 00:09:22.608
  • I was terrified.
  • 00:09:22.608 --> 00:09:24.043
  • I started pleading with my mom.
  • 00:09:24.043 --> 00:09:25.544
  • I said, mom, please, please, i don't want to do that.
  • 00:09:25.544 --> 00:09:27.880
  • And she didn't budge.
  • 00:09:27.880 --> 00:09:29.782
  • She was very sweet but very firm.
  • 00:09:29.782 --> 00:09:32.051
  • And she said, kim, i need you to do this for me this morning.
  • 00:09:32.051 --> 00:09:35.187
  • I'm gonna be late.
  • 00:09:35.187 --> 00:09:36.422
  • And so i knew she was serious.
  • 00:09:36.422 --> 00:09:38.391
  • So i went over to the church,
  • 00:09:38.391 --> 00:09:39.659
  • And i walked down that side aisle
  • 00:09:39.659 --> 00:09:42.528
  • Trying to be as invisible as i possibly could.
  • 00:09:42.528 --> 00:09:44.630
  • And i got up on that piano bench and began to play.
  • 00:09:44.630 --> 00:09:46.799
  • I remember putting the soft pedal on,
  • 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:48.367
  • Because i'd try a new little run or something.
  • 00:09:48.367 --> 00:09:50.670
  • And i would look out in the crowd to see
  • 00:09:50.670 --> 00:09:52.004
  • If anybody was laughing at me.
  • 00:09:52.004 --> 00:09:53.739
  • Typical seven-year-old's response, i guess.
  • 00:09:53.739 --> 00:09:56.275
  • But looking back, it seems kind of humorous to me now,
  • 00:09:56.275 --> 00:10:00.513
  • Because i really wasn't old enough to comb my own hair,
  • 00:10:00.513 --> 00:10:03.382
  • Much less play the prelude for church.
  • 00:10:03.382 --> 00:10:05.918
  • But i did it.
  • 00:10:05.918 --> 00:10:07.219
  • I also remember, the very first piano solo
  • 00:10:07.219 --> 00:10:09.588
  • I played as an offertory one sunday evening--
  • 00:10:09.588 --> 00:10:12.391
  • I think i was around five or six years of age.
  • 00:10:12.391 --> 00:10:14.427
  • And it was very simple.
  • 00:10:14.427 --> 00:10:15.928
  • It was just me, a few chords,
  • 00:10:15.928 --> 00:10:18.564
  • And an older lady that accompanied me
  • 00:10:18.564 --> 00:10:20.299
  • On the bass guitar.
  • 00:10:20.299 --> 00:10:21.801
  • Honestly, i don't think my feet could hardly touch the floor,
  • 00:10:21.801 --> 00:10:24.570
  • I was so small back then.
  • 00:10:24.570 --> 00:10:26.439
  • But i remember playing this very old song
  • 00:10:26.439 --> 00:10:30.342
  • That i think some of y'all may recognize.
