  • Bill: the story of the annie moses band
  • 00:00:01.157 --> 00:00:03.426
  • Has blossomed from the cotton patch
  • 00:00:03.426 --> 00:00:05.295
  • To the concert hall,

  • From the grand ole opry to carnegie hall.
  • 00:00:10.700 --> 00:00:13.670
  • It's a tale of cotton pickers,

  • A pistol-packing preacher, and fiery fiddling.
  • 00:00:15.772 --> 00:00:20.210
  • It's also a tale of manhattan skyscrapers,
  • 00:00:20.210 --> 00:00:23.847
  • Soaring symphonies, and classical finesse.
  • 00:00:23.847 --> 00:00:27.684

  • 00:04:37.333 --> 00:04:40.269
  • Of gaither tv specials with my friend bradley walker
  • 00:04:40.269 --> 00:04:44.474
  • And the brotherly love group.
  • 00:04:44.474 --> 00:04:46.876
  • And they're all wonderful musicians,

  • - and that makes this especially special for me.
  • 00:04:54.450 --> 00:04:57.787
  • We're about an hour south of nashville,
  • 00:04:57.787 --> 00:05:00.356
  • In columbia, tennessee,
  • 00:05:00.356 --> 00:05:02.291
  • And we're talking about a live performance
  • 00:05:02.291 --> 00:05:04.927
  • That we recently did in our barn.
  • 00:05:04.927 --> 00:05:08.398

  • 00:05:08.398 --> 00:05:09.966
  • You are going to be hearing the story of our family,
  • 00:05:09.966 --> 00:05:13.236
  • And you're also going to be hearing about the mission
  • 00:05:13.236 --> 00:05:15.805
  • And the calling that god has for us for the next generation.
  • 00:05:15.805 --> 00:05:19.509
  • We grew up the children of award-winning songwriters.
  • 00:05:19.509 --> 00:05:24.046
  • But it didn't start here in nashville.
  • 00:05:24.046 --> 00:05:27.083
  • Instead, it began four generations ago,
  • 00:05:27.083 --> 00:05:29.786
  • With the woman that i was named after, my great-grandmother,
  • 00:05:29.786 --> 00:05:33.389
  • And the namesake of our group, annie moses.
  • 00:05:33.389 --> 00:05:36.359
  • And annie moses quite literally worked herself
  • 00:05:36.359 --> 00:05:40.229
  • Right at the beginning.
  • 00:05:40.229 --> 00:05:41.497
  • I remember we had just started the band,
  • 00:05:41.497 --> 00:05:43.099
  • And mama was sitting in the bed.
  • 00:05:43.099 --> 00:05:44.901
  • My mother writes her best lyrics when she first wakes up,
  • 00:05:44.901 --> 00:05:47.537
  • And she sits in the bed, and she writes her lyrics.
  • 00:05:47.537 --> 00:05:50.139
  • And she wrote this lyric. and it's a beautiful song
  • 00:05:50.139 --> 00:05:52.074
  • That tells the story of annie moses
  • 00:05:52.074 --> 00:05:54.243
  • And the legacy of love that she passed down to us.

  • Our school, the things that you're doing with our children,
  • 00:18:56.525 --> 00:19:00.662
  • With lots of other children that you're impacting.
  • 00:19:00.662 --> 00:19:03.699

  • - and thankful to be part of this.
  • 00:19:11.473 --> 00:19:13.141
  • I didn't grow up around gospel songs.
  • 00:19:13.141 --> 00:19:16.345
  • My wife, really, is who shared most of the hymns
  • 00:19:16.345 --> 00:19:20.382
  • That i know now and gospel music that i know.
  • 00:19:20.382 --> 00:19:24.186
  • And so i'm always discovering more music.
  • 00:19:24.186 --> 00:19:26.922
  • And you all did this song, "we have this moment."
  • 00:19:26.922 --> 00:19:30.525
  • And it's a big song for the gaithers,
  • 00:19:30.525 --> 00:19:33.395
  • But i didn't--i've never heard it before.
  • 00:19:33.395 --> 00:19:35.397
  • At least i don't think i have.
  • 00:19:35.397 --> 00:19:36.632
  • Except, when you were performing,
  • 00:19:36.632 --> 00:19:39.134
  • Just felt like i've been here before.
  • 00:19:39.134 --> 00:19:41.203
  • Like, i know this really well, even though i didn't know it.
  • 00:19:41.203 --> 00:19:44.273
  • That was a very special moment in the room.
  • 00:19:44.273 --> 00:19:48.110
  • What made you choose that song?
  • 00:19:48.176 --> 00:19:49.811
  • - it goes back to grandpa and grandma.
  • 00:19:49.811 --> 00:19:51.780
  • - i think it--yes.
  • 00:19:51.780 --> 00:19:53.115
  • Well, we sang it with our grandma.
  • 00:19:53.115 --> 00:19:54.616
  • - you did?
  • 00:19:54.616 --> 00:19:55.751
  • - it was grandma jane's favorite song.
  • 00:19:55.751 --> 00:19:57.152
  • - she loved--she loved that song.
  • 00:19:57.152 --> 00:19:58.320
  • - so, grandma jane loved that song.
  • 00:19:58.320 --> 00:19:59.855
  • And so i remember hearing mama and grandma jane sing it.
  • 00:19:59.855 --> 00:20:03.959
  • - and then annie sang it with us.
  • 00:20:03.959 --> 00:20:05.427
  • - and when i got older, they let me join the band,
  • 00:20:05.427 --> 00:20:07.963
  • And i got to sing it with them.
  • 00:20:07.963 --> 00:20:10.165
  • It's a beautifully written song.
  • 00:20:10.165 --> 00:20:13.235
  • And the message, of course, is about
  • 00:20:13.235 --> 00:20:16.705
  • Just the preciousness of life. you know, the beauty of...
  • 00:20:16.705 --> 00:20:22.077
  • - it's profound. - everyday things.
  • 00:20:22.144 --> 00:20:24.112
  • There's gonna come a time
  • 00:20:24.112 --> 00:20:26.148
  • When i can't play the violin anymore.
  • 00:20:26.148 --> 00:20:28.283
  • You know?
  • 00:20:28.283 --> 00:20:29.551
  • And we can't make music together.
  • 00:20:29.551 --> 00:20:31.520
  • And there'll be a time when, hopefully,
  • 00:20:31.520 --> 00:20:33.155
  • We watch our children
  • 00:20:33.155 --> 00:20:34.556
  • And our grandchildren making music together.
  • 00:20:34.556 --> 00:20:37.526
  • And hopefully, all of that is going to be
  • 00:20:37.592 --> 00:20:39.928
  • Joining the great praises of the saints
  • 00:20:39.928 --> 00:20:42.331
  • That have been going for all of eternity,
  • 00:20:42.331 --> 00:20:45.600
  • And that we're all going to join him again.
  • 00:20:45.600 --> 00:20:48.270
  • But this moment-- this is the moment
  • 00:20:48.270 --> 00:20:51.306
  • That god places within our hand,
  • 00:20:51.306 --> 00:20:53.275
  • And the hope i have for myself
  • 00:20:53.275 --> 00:20:55.911
  • Is that i am able to live it in such a way
  • 00:20:55.911 --> 00:20:59.381
  • That i am as a drink offering poured out,
  • 00:20:59.381 --> 00:21:02.884
  • And that it is all the love i have in my being,
  • 00:21:02.884 --> 00:21:05.887
  • In order that he would be praised
