  • I wanted to sit down with you.
  • 00:05:13.669 --> 00:05:16.239

  • But i said, i want gloria, 'cause the conversations
  • 00:05:24.580 --> 00:05:27.583
  • We've had on the bus
  • 00:05:27.583 --> 00:05:30.019
  • And all through the years
  • 00:05:30.019 --> 00:05:31.521
  • And then driving home the other day,
  • 00:05:31.521 --> 00:05:33.856
  • The hour-long conversation i had with you
  • 00:05:33.856 --> 00:05:36.459
  • About your family coming to faith.
  • 00:05:36.459 --> 00:05:39.162
  • There's still so much i don't know about you too.
  • 00:05:39.162 --> 00:05:41.864
  • But this project is from an era of time in my life
  • 00:05:41.864 --> 00:05:47.970
  • Between 1980 and probably 1988.
  • 00:05:47.970 --> 00:05:54.677
  • Right when i joined y'all, i wrote all these songs.
  • 00:05:54.744 --> 00:05:57.814
  • And i was thinking today, i never dreamed in those years
  • 00:05:57.814 --> 00:06:02.452
  • That one day, i'd be sitting down
  • 00:06:02.452 --> 00:06:04.420
  • With the queen of lyrics in gospel music.
  • 00:06:04.420 --> 00:06:08.724
  • Don't give me that face.
  • 00:06:08.724 --> 00:06:10.893
  • I mean, who else is there?
  • 00:06:10.893 --> 00:06:12.662
  • I mean, in my lifetime--
  • 00:06:12.662 --> 00:06:13.963
  • - fanny crosby, i think, is a big--
  • 00:06:13.963 --> 00:06:15.932
  • You're ignoring a--[laughs] - oh, yes, of course.
  • 00:06:15.932 --> 00:06:17.900
  • I'm not leaving her out or dottie rambo or many others.
  • 00:06:17.900 --> 00:06:20.603
  • - yeah, there's lots of them.
  • 00:06:20.603 --> 00:06:21.637
  • - but in my lifetime,
  • 00:06:21.637 --> 00:06:24.273
  • I didn't know fanny crosby.
  • 00:06:24.273 --> 00:06:26.642
  • I know gloria gaither.
  • 00:06:26.642 --> 00:06:29.045
  • And one thing i love about you is,
  • 00:06:29.045 --> 00:06:31.414
  • You are madly in love with jesus, too,
  • 00:06:31.414 --> 00:06:35.251
  • And you love to talk about it.
  • 00:06:35.251 --> 00:06:36.719
  • - that's a favorite topic, yeah.
  • 00:06:36.719 --> 00:06:38.154
  • - i know, and i've learned so much about him from you.
  • 00:06:38.154 --> 00:06:41.090
  • And i want to thank you for that.
  • 00:06:41.090 --> 00:06:43.025
  • So this is a great honor for me today
  • 00:06:43.025 --> 00:06:46.562
  • To be interviewed by you.
  • 00:06:46.562 --> 00:06:48.865
  • Oh, lord, where is this going?
  • 00:06:48.865 --> 00:06:50.333
  • - this is sort of like coffee in the morning on the bus,
  • 00:06:50.333 --> 00:06:53.002
  • Except we're all dressed up and our hair is combed.
  • 00:06:53.002 --> 00:06:55.638
  • - yeah. [laughs]
  • 00:06:55.638 --> 00:06:57.573
  • - morning in the bus is like,
  • 00:06:57.573 --> 00:07:00.243
  • We both look like death warmed over
  • 00:07:00.243 --> 00:07:02.678
  • And we have three cups of coffee in a row.
  • 00:07:02.678 --> 00:07:05.781
  • - yeah, and have great conversations.
  • 00:07:05.781 --> 00:07:08.284
  • - i'm hooked up on something you just said.
  • 00:07:08.284 --> 00:07:11.153
  • You wrote these songs in this project
  • 00:07:11.153 --> 00:07:13.990
  • Pretty much in a clump?
  • 00:07:13.990 --> 00:07:16.626
  • - well, around 1980 when i graduated from college
  • 00:07:16.626 --> 00:07:20.162
  • And i was doing this full-time,
  • 00:07:20.162 --> 00:07:21.697
  • It was me alone in the car a lot.
  • 00:07:21.697 --> 00:07:24.867
  • And am and fm radio was all we had.
  • 00:07:24.867 --> 00:07:27.537
  • So it was a lot of silence.
  • 00:07:27.537 --> 00:07:29.071
  • I would just drive.
  • 00:07:29.071 --> 00:07:30.373
  • And i was wanting to write songs.
  • 00:07:30.373 --> 00:07:32.341
  • I just had a passion at that time
  • 00:07:32.341 --> 00:07:35.945
  • To be a songwriter.
  • 00:07:35.945 --> 00:07:37.813
  • You know, my goal back then, as far as career-wise,
  • 00:07:37.813 --> 00:07:43.152
  • Was to be a word recording artist.
  • 00:07:43.152 --> 00:07:45.354
  • And i thought, well, when i become a word recording artist,
  • 00:07:45.354 --> 00:07:47.790
  • I want to have some songs,
  • 00:07:47.790 --> 00:07:49.258
  • 'cause i want to be a word songwriter too.
  • 00:07:49.258 --> 00:07:51.661
  • That was the apex for me at that time.
  • 00:07:51.661 --> 00:07:53.863
  • You know, when you're getting started
  • 00:07:53.863 --> 00:07:55.731
  • And you see sandi patty up there on that record label
  • 00:07:55.731 --> 00:07:59.135
  • And this one on that record l--
  • 00:07:59.135 --> 00:08:00.736
  • You know, you want to be there, too, i guess.
  • 00:08:00.736 --> 00:08:03.706
  • And so i wanted to write songs.
  • 00:08:03.706 --> 00:08:07.109
  • And i thought of little things i thought
  • 00:08:07.109 --> 00:08:09.211
  • Would go good in songs,
  • 00:08:09.211 --> 00:08:10.479
  • Like he wants to spend eternity with me.
  • 00:08:10.479 --> 00:08:13.049
  • I mean, that thought alone.
  • 00:08:13.049 --> 00:08:15.851
  • Here's this god of all eternity past.
  • 00:08:15.851 --> 00:08:20.122
  • Where did he decide he needed me?
  • 00:08:20.122 --> 00:08:23.426
  • I don't know when that happened, but i'm not--
  • 00:08:23.426 --> 00:08:25.494
  • And when i say me, i mean all of us.
  • 00:08:25.494 --> 00:08:28.230
  • And now he wants to spend the rest of it with me.
  • 00:08:28.230 --> 00:08:32.735
  • Well, that fired me up, and i wrote it.

  • 00:12:00.676 --> 00:12:02.511

  • 00:12:08.517 --> 00:12:10.886

  • 00:12:22.031 --> 00:12:23.132
  • - but the good thing about that is
  • 00:12:23.132 --> 00:12:24.867
  • That you tend to pay attention in song bites.
  • 00:12:24.867 --> 00:12:31.440

  • 00:12:31.507 --> 00:12:33.442

  • 00:12:36.445 --> 00:12:37.546
  • - but when you write,
  • 00:12:37.546 --> 00:12:38.881

  • 00:12:41.750 --> 00:12:42.985

  • 00:12:49.491 --> 00:12:54.263

  • - yeah.
  • 00:13:13.249 --> 00:13:14.617
  • - 'cause you're not getting the result that you want.
  • 00:13:14.617 --> 00:13:16.151
  • - and i'm not saying you shouldn't do stuff.
  • 00:13:16.151 --> 00:13:18.988

  • 00:13:20.823 --> 00:13:22.258
