I want to spend my life

Hello and welcome to
another 3ABN Today program.
00:01:07.19\00:01:09.98
Thank you for joining us
as you do each and every day.
00:01:10.01\00:01:13.05
I want you to know
that Jesus loves you,
00:01:13.08\00:01:14.96
He died for you.
00:01:14.99\00:01:16.03
He made a plan
of salvation for you
00:01:16.06\00:01:17.96
and He's coming back very
soon in the clouds of glory.
00:01:17.99\00:01:21.36
I'm excited about ministry,
00:01:21.39\00:01:22.91
I love and support all of
those who are out into ministry
00:01:22.94\00:01:26.40
and today we have
some special guests
00:01:26.43\00:01:28.35
and it's a group
00:01:28.38\00:01:29.41
and they're called The Guardians
00:01:29.44\00:01:30.89
and we're so glad
that you guys are here.
00:01:30.92\00:01:32.82
Start with Dean.
Thank you, Danny.
00:01:32.85\00:01:34.23
Dean Hickman,
where are you from?
00:01:34.26\00:01:35.87
I'm from West
Virginia originally.
00:01:35.90\00:01:37.67
I grew up in
Clarksburg, West Virginia,
00:01:37.70\00:01:40.05
and then moved
to Portsmouth, Ohio,
00:01:40.08\00:01:41.58
to sing with The
Golden Keys Quartet.
00:01:41.61\00:01:43.03
Jim Hill who wrote
"What a day that will be.
00:01:43.06\00:01:45.67
He was in that group
and I took his place.
00:01:45.70\00:01:47.69
And what a great gentleman
he is, he's still living,
00:01:47.72\00:01:49.92
he's 84 years old.
00:01:49.95\00:01:51.00
84 years old.
00:01:51.03\00:01:52.17
And still sings his song alive.
00:01:52.20\00:01:53.40
He comes with us
every now and then.
00:01:53.43\00:01:54.47
And where are you based now?
00:01:54.50\00:01:55.65
Columbus, Ohio. Columbus, Ohio.
00:01:55.68\00:01:57.76
We've had this group together
for 26 years, over 26 years.
00:01:57.79\00:02:01.38
That's amazing.
00:02:01.41\00:02:02.44
Now I go to Columbus
once a year at least,
00:02:02.47\00:02:05.71
they have the AQHA Congress,
Quarter Horse Congress,
00:02:05.74\00:02:08.71
you know, there's a big
huge horse show up there.
00:02:08.74\00:02:11.18
I usually go up there
and spend just a few days
00:02:11.21\00:02:13.65
'cause I enjoy
horses over there.
00:02:13.68\00:02:15.46
Right. All right.
00:02:15.49\00:02:16.57
Sitting next to you of
course is John, John Rowsey.
00:02:16.60\00:02:19.53
John, now you've been
with the group how long?
00:02:19.56\00:02:21.60
Going on 3 years. Three years.
00:02:21.63\00:02:23.73
Yes, July will be
my 3 year anniversary.
00:02:23.76\00:02:26.66
All right. Well, there's
gonna be some great stories.
00:02:26.69\00:02:28.88
I'm the newbie.
00:02:28.91\00:02:29.94
Yeah, we're gonna get back
00:02:29.97\00:02:31.12
and find out a little about
you all and your background
00:02:31.15\00:02:33.90
and gospel
music and all of that.
00:02:33.93\00:02:36.60
And of course down here
we've got Neil Uhrig, right?
00:02:36.63\00:02:39.50
Did I get it
right? You got it right.
00:02:39.53\00:02:41.13
All right. Neil,
and where are you from?
00:02:41.16\00:02:42.98
I'm from Chillicothe, Ohio,
00:02:43.01\00:02:44.30
about 45 miles
south of Columbus.
00:02:44.33\00:02:46.41
Okay. All right, how long
have you been with the group?
00:02:46.44\00:02:49.36
Since its inception,
26 years, going on 27 ago.
00:02:49.39\00:02:52.89
Wow, is that right? Mm-hmm.
00:02:52.92\00:02:54.28
So you've been with through all.
00:02:54.31\00:02:55.58
Now was your dad a
member of this too?
00:02:55.61\00:02:58.10
Maybe still he is?
00:02:58.13\00:02:59.16
He well, he considers
himself still a Guardian.
00:02:59.19\00:03:01.18
Absolutely. I agree with that.
00:03:01.21\00:03:03.10
Once you are,
you are there, right?
00:03:03.13\00:03:05.36
Right. That's it, perpetually.
00:03:05.39\00:03:07.61
When we added
John, he talked about,
00:03:07.64\00:03:09.72
well, he really
helps, doesn't he?
00:03:09.75\00:03:11.36
So even though he's
not out on the road.
00:03:11.39\00:03:13.36
I love it,
absolutely, absolutely.
00:03:13.39\00:03:15.82
You know, the
amazing thing, Danny,
00:03:15.85\00:03:17.41
in 26 years we had two gentlemen
00:03:17.44\00:03:19.52
that died with us,
00:03:19.55\00:03:20.76
but we've only have one
personnel change in 26 years.
00:03:20.79\00:03:24.03
Gentleman retired
and John took his place,
00:03:24.06\00:03:26.09
so who could talk about that?
00:03:26.12\00:03:28.10
And one personnel change, wow.
00:03:28.13\00:03:30.37
I know, that is
amazing and I love your music.
00:03:30.40\00:03:33.27
I actually found
out about The Guardians
00:03:33.30\00:03:35.38
from Lari Goss and Lari Goss,
00:03:35.41\00:03:37.97
our viewers know Lari,
they're familiar with him
00:03:38.00\00:03:40.92
and some of the
recent projects that we did,
00:03:40.95\00:03:43.33
they're also
aware of his passing.
00:03:43.36\00:03:45.45
But Lari used to talk
to me about this one group
00:03:45.48\00:03:49.08
and at least once a week,
00:03:49.11\00:03:51.23
"Danny, you got
to get The Guardians,
00:03:51.26\00:03:53.04
you just got-- you
got to meet these guys,
00:03:53.07\00:03:55.06
you got to hear their music,
I've been working with them.
00:03:55.09\00:03:57.40
I absolutely love them."
00:03:57.43\00:03:58.67
And then he would call
me a week or two later.
00:03:58.70\00:04:01.01
"Did you call them, yeah?"
00:04:01.04\00:04:02.54
I'd say, well, you didn't
even give me their info, Lari.
00:04:02.57\00:04:05.42
"Oh, I didn't.
00:04:05.45\00:04:06.48
Well, I have
Carolyn, I'll have Carolyn
00:04:06.51\00:04:08.25
send that to you.
00:04:08.28\00:04:09.64
You got to get them
there now, I'm not being pushy.
00:04:09.67\00:04:12.78
You know, I
wouldn't do this to you,
00:04:12.81\00:04:14.22
I'm not pushy but you
got to meet these guys."
00:04:14.25\00:04:17.07
So honestly Lari's worked
00:04:17.10\00:04:19.48
with incredible
musicians and artists
00:04:19.51\00:04:22.34
around the world as you know.
00:04:22.37\00:04:23.47
But I can say
this with my hand up,
00:04:23.50\00:04:25.36
he never promoted anybody
like he promoted you guys.
00:04:25.39\00:04:28.57
'Cause he said they're
genuine. We're humbled.
00:04:28.60\00:04:31.02
And today we hate to say it
00:04:31.05\00:04:32.70
but that's kind of
a fleeting commodity,
00:04:32.73\00:04:35.06
even in the
industry of gospel music
00:04:35.09\00:04:37.48
and, you know, preachers and,
00:04:37.51\00:04:40.16
you know, I don't want
to go and sound negative
00:04:40.23\00:04:42.52
but I'm just saying
so when you meet people
00:04:42.55\00:04:44.72
of like spirits that are
focused on their mission,
00:04:44.75\00:04:48.42
that's to represent
the Lord Jesus Christ
00:04:48.45\00:04:50.85
to share Him in the marketplace.
00:04:50.88\00:04:53.00
Right.
00:04:53.03\00:04:54.24
Then we're like this
00:04:54.70\00:04:56.29
because that's
really what we're all about.
00:04:56.32\00:04:58.24
Christians those of us following
00:04:58.27\00:04:59.93
the example of Lord Jesus Christ
00:04:59.96\00:05:01.78
and He said, go ye
into all the world.
00:05:01.81\00:05:03.93
So some people preach,
some teach, other sing.
00:05:03.96\00:05:06.82
And you guys been
doing this a long time.
00:05:06.85\00:05:09.61
I want to talk a little more,
00:05:09.64\00:05:10.67
then we're gonna do
maybe three or four songs,
00:05:10.70\00:05:12.43
see how much time we have.
00:05:12.46\00:05:14.04
Thank you.
00:05:14.07\00:05:15.10
But, Dean, I want
to get a little bit
00:05:15.13\00:05:16.16
of your background now,
00:05:16.19\00:05:17.22
you know, where are you from,
00:05:17.25\00:05:18.40
what kind-- were you
raised in a Christian home?
00:05:18.43\00:05:20.20
Oh, I was raised in a --home,
00:05:20.23\00:05:23.12
very conservative
00:05:23.15\00:05:24.50
and my dad was one of
the greatest Christians
00:05:24.53\00:05:27.53
I've ever met
in my life. Uh-huh.
00:05:27.56\00:05:29.01
Lived to be almost
98. Is that? Right.
00:05:29.04\00:05:31.31
He married my mom, he
was 11 years older than her.
00:05:31.34\00:05:35.18
She lived to be 85
and he outlived her,
00:05:35.21\00:05:37.55
I mean, you
never think that. Yeah.
00:05:37.58\00:05:40.15
So I was raised in
a good Christian home,
00:05:40.18\00:05:41.54
loved the gospel music
00:05:41.57\00:05:43.14
and then moved
to Portsmouth, Ohio,
00:05:43.17\00:05:44.63
in 1965 to sing with
The Golden Keys Quartet.
00:05:44.66\00:05:48.61
And fell in love with the music
00:05:48.64\00:05:50.15
and then God has just
opened up doors in my life,
00:05:50.18\00:05:53.55
it's unbelievable.
00:05:53.58\00:05:55.15
Have you always had a
desire to be a Christian?
00:05:55.18\00:05:58.79
I have a song that
John helped me write
00:05:58.82\00:06:01.99
that talked about as a child,
I was going down this road,
00:06:02.02\00:06:05.80
I thought, you know,
God's tugging on my heart,
00:06:05.83\00:06:07.77
I want to be a Christian,
00:06:07.80\00:06:09.17
but then I thought,
well, you know what?
00:06:09.20\00:06:10.29
I need to go out and
learn my way a little bit first.
00:06:10.32\00:06:12.94
And then, but He kept tugging.
00:06:12.97\00:06:14.45
Mm-hmm, all right.
00:06:14.48\00:06:15.59
And then I come back. Okay.
00:06:15.62\00:06:17.33
So but that song is just
so it's like what about now,
00:06:17.36\00:06:21.42
what about right
now, what about here.
00:06:21.45\00:06:24.58
Now you don't
have to put this off
00:06:24.61\00:06:26.74
and it's the best
life to live anyway.
00:06:26.77\00:06:29.12
Why wouldn't you live this life?
00:06:29.15\00:06:30.24
Absolutely,
absolutely, beautiful.
00:06:30.27\00:06:32.79
So what do you do
now? What is your work?
00:06:32.82\00:06:36.11
I went down on the
state highway patrol
00:06:36.14\00:06:38.24
after The Golden Keys Quartet
continued to sing with groups,
00:06:38.27\00:06:41.65
then after that I went down
to Goodyear Atomic Corporation,
00:06:41.68\00:06:44.12
I was security director
there and Congressman Dingell
00:06:44.15\00:06:47.37
and Senator John Glenn decided
00:06:47.40\00:06:50.25
that the nuclear
weapons program in the country
00:06:50.28\00:06:52.33
was not being
protected well enough.
00:06:52.36\00:06:55.35
So they set up this program
where they want to go out
00:06:55.59\00:06:57.83
and have a
performance testing program
00:06:57.86\00:06:59.65
and I just lucked
into that program, Danny,
00:07:00.21\00:07:02.50
and started
running that program.
00:07:02.53\00:07:03.87
You were blessed into
it. Yeah, I was blessed.
00:07:03.90\00:07:04.95
Oh, yes, blessed
into it, absolutely.
00:07:04.98\00:07:07.03
I mean, my life was not planned.
00:07:07.06\00:07:08.82
Whatever I did, I did
for the system, never for me.
00:07:08.85\00:07:13.01
Whatever it was,
00:07:13.04\00:07:14.18
always displayed
honesty, integrity and trust.
00:07:14.21\00:07:16.52
Okay. Never for yourself.
00:07:16.55\00:07:18.47
And so in the last 30 years,
00:07:18.50\00:07:21.03
we've been inspecting
nuclear weapons facilities
00:07:21.06\00:07:22.83
and it's all performance based.
00:07:22.86\00:07:24.28
We actually take
ex Seal team members,
00:07:24.31\00:07:26.58
special force members
went and attack the facility,
00:07:26.61\00:07:28.92
try to steal the
special nuclear weapons.
00:07:28.95\00:07:30.52
Oh, really? For
the materials, yes.
00:07:30.55\00:07:31.82
You're serious, Dean?
Yeah, it's serious stuff.
00:07:31.85\00:07:33.18
You're not like just looking
on a camera decide, you know--
00:07:33.21\00:07:35.69
No, no, no.
Don't use your bullets.
00:07:35.72\00:07:37.51
It's all
performance based. Really?
00:07:37.54\00:07:39.74
Yeah, it is. It's phenomenal.
00:07:39.77\00:07:41.49
So because I travel so much,
60-70% of my time for 30 years,
00:07:41.52\00:07:45.64
we could only
sing on the weekends.
00:07:45.67\00:07:47.47
So then we got a
manager in the last 3 years,
00:07:47.50\00:07:50.72
I mean, he's better than me.
00:07:50.75\00:07:52.04
So he's running the program
mostly and I could back off
00:07:52.07\00:07:55.58
and so now we're
fulltime ministry
00:07:55.61\00:07:58.13
into what my heart wants to do.
00:07:58.16\00:08:00.15
Yeah. What a neat story.
00:08:00.18\00:08:01.44
I hope you've written
a book. Well, I haven't.
00:08:01.47\00:08:03.99
You haven't, you should,
that'd be my suggestions.
00:08:04.02\00:08:06.62
Thank you.
00:08:06.65\00:08:07.71
Because, you know, we
want to put all this together.
00:08:07.74\00:08:09.93
I mean, what a great
story going from there.
00:08:09.96\00:08:11.96
You've done a number of these
00:08:11.99\00:08:13.36
contracts with
the government, right?
00:08:13.39\00:08:14.76
Yes, 18 contracts
with the government
00:08:14.79\00:08:17.50
in various things and we--
that's all we've ever bid on
00:08:17.53\00:08:21.03
and we never lost a one of them.
00:08:21.06\00:08:22.53
Again it's just God's blessings.
00:08:22.80\00:08:24.37
All right.
00:08:24.40\00:08:25.44
So I'm gonna do
this with each of you.
00:08:25.47\00:08:27.18
We'll go down we're
gonna have a song in a moment.
00:08:27.21\00:08:28.68
What church do
you, you have affiliate,
00:08:28.71\00:08:32.22
what church are you with today?
00:08:32.25\00:08:34.01
My wife and I were
Wesleyans for while
00:08:34.04\00:08:36.20
and then we went to a
Nazarene church for a while,
00:08:36.23\00:08:38.62
a minister come in there
and took them from 300 to 30.
00:08:38.65\00:08:41.49
And I told my wife, I
said, we got to get back there
00:08:41.52\00:08:43.43
and help them get
their church build.
00:08:43.46\00:08:45.56
So we went back and March
1st, our group's gonna be there
00:08:45.59\00:08:49.01
for the opening of that church.
00:08:49.04\00:08:50.66
So we raised and made
into, and overnight utmost,
00:08:50.69\00:08:55.26
and we built the church
so we want to dedicate it,
00:08:55.29\00:08:59.04
our opening service March 1.
00:08:59.07\00:09:00.81
Oh, that's wonderful. Yeah.
00:09:00.84\00:09:01.89
Great. Absolutely.
00:09:01.92\00:09:03.85
What we want to
do we're gonna ask
00:09:03.88\00:09:05.08
you guys to sing a song for us
00:09:05.11\00:09:07.04
and they've
written a number of songs
00:09:07.07\00:09:09.28
but I think the very first one,
you're all gonna know this song
00:09:09.31\00:09:12.47
and I know I love it and it's--
00:09:12.50\00:09:14.31
you know, you can talk about
00:09:14.53\00:09:15.67
some of the
greatest songs ever written,
00:09:15.71\00:09:17.29
"Amazing grace" but the song
00:09:17.32\00:09:19.26
that they're about to
sing "The Lord's Prayer"
00:09:19.29\00:09:21.05
I'm gonna have to
put in that list too.
00:09:21.08\00:09:22.57
I mean, what a incredible
song "The Lord's Prayer"
00:09:22.60\00:09:26.54
and then after that
we're gonna actually
00:09:26.57\00:09:28.87
do a few more songs.
00:09:28.90\00:09:30.30
But I appreciate once again
00:09:30.33\00:09:31.75
The Guardians
coming here from Ohio
00:09:31.78\00:09:33.71
and their music
and the arrangements
00:09:33.74\00:09:36.36
that you're gonna hear are
by the legendary Lari Goss,
00:09:36.39\00:09:40.25
absolutely incredible.
00:09:40.28\00:09:41.53
So I've had an advantage,
I've got to hear some of these
00:09:41.56\00:09:44.00
but I know
you're gonna be blessed
00:09:44.03\00:09:45.31
as they sing to us
now "The Lord's Prayer."
00:09:45.34\00:09:47.83
Our Father
00:10:02.80\00:10:07.84
who art
00:10:07.87\00:10:10.04
in heaven
00:10:10.07\00:10:15.47
Hallowed be
00:10:18.24\00:10:23.14
thy Name
00:10:25.80\00:10:31.83
Thy kingdom come
00:10:35.17\00:10:41.04
Thy will be done in earth
00:10:42.08\00:10:50.08
as it is
00:10:50.65\00:10:54.37
in heaven
00:10:54.40\00:11:00.78
Give us this day
00:11:00.81\00:11:05.64
our daily bread
00:11:05.67\00:11:10.15
And forgive us our debts
00:11:10.18\00:11:16.02
As we forgive our debtors
00:11:16.05\00:11:21.22
As we forgive our debtors
00:11:21.25\00:11:25.93
And lead us not into temptation
00:11:25.96\00:11:31.16
But deliver us from evil
00:11:31.19\00:11:37.02
For thine is the kingdom
00:11:37.05\00:11:43.35
And the power,
00:11:43.61\00:11:47.02
and the glory
00:11:47.05\00:11:50.67
Forever and ever
00:11:50.70\00:11:56.07
Amen
00:11:58.36\00:12:05.89
Amen Amen
00:12:05.92\00:12:12.38
Amen
00:12:12.41\00:12:15.89
Amen...
00:12:15.98\00:12:19.52
Amen...
00:12:19.55\00:12:23.14
Amen...
00:12:23.17\00:12:28.84
Amen...
00:12:29.12\00:12:36.28
Beautiful. The Lord's Prayer.
00:12:40.02\00:12:42.43
This is The
Guardians, I've a CD here.
00:12:42.46\00:12:44.97
We'll be talking
about it a little bit later.
00:12:45.00\00:12:47.44
"Let my Heart Sing."
00:12:47.47\00:12:49.23
And I don't' know about yours
00:12:49.26\00:12:50.66
but mine singing right
now when we think about that,
00:12:50.69\00:12:53.37
there's a kingdom and the
power and the glory forever.
00:12:53.40\00:12:56.90
And so we're gonna be
blessed with some more music
00:12:56.93\00:12:59.08
so we want you to
stick around a little bit,
00:12:59.11\00:13:00.63
we'll put up an
address and all of that.
00:13:00.66\00:13:02.65
Well, guys, thank you so much.
00:13:02.68\00:13:04.05
Thank you, Danny.
00:13:04.08\00:13:05.13
Wow. What a great job.
00:13:05.16\00:13:06.19
Lari Goss is all
over that thing too.
00:13:06.22\00:13:08.09
Yes. Yes, he is.
00:13:08.12\00:13:09.86
Music behind him, I
mean, honestly he's just--
00:13:09.89\00:13:13.67
his music amazes me and--
00:13:13.70\00:13:15.88
No talent like him.
00:13:15.91\00:13:17.22
Yeah, you guys have
known him for sometime
00:13:17.25\00:13:20.09
and you talked
about his humility.
00:13:20.12\00:13:23.52
Yeah, I think Bill Gaither said
00:13:23.55\00:13:25.82
that his talent is
only equaled by his humility
00:13:25.85\00:13:29.81
and I second that, wow.
00:13:29.84\00:13:32.61
He was the most
humble man I'd ever met.
00:13:32.64\00:13:35.29
With all that greatness he had
00:13:35.32\00:13:36.71
and all I had
ever hear him say is,
00:13:36.74\00:13:38.67
I ask God all time,
why did he give me this?
00:13:38.70\00:13:41.80
You know why, why was it me?
00:13:41.83\00:13:42.94
Yeah.
00:13:42.97\00:13:44.02
And I said, Lari, how did you--
00:13:44.05\00:13:45.10
'Cause he can handle it.
00:13:45.13\00:13:46.26
Yeah.
00:13:46.29\00:13:47.32
How did you learn to
write all this orchestration?
00:13:47.35\00:13:49.07
I mean, you don't have to write
00:13:49.10\00:13:50.16
the horns in different key,
how did you learn to do this?
00:13:50.19\00:13:52.30
He said, well, my brother,
he said, he said, Ronnie said
00:13:52.33\00:13:54.44
after my elder
brother died in a plane crash,
00:13:54.47\00:13:56.92
he said, we need
somebody to write orchestration,
00:13:56.95\00:13:59.69
he said, well, Lari can do it.
00:13:59.72\00:14:01.15
Yeah, yeah.
00:14:01.18\00:14:02.31
And he got into it, you know.
00:14:02.34\00:14:03.76
Then he did it. Yeah.
00:14:03.79\00:14:05.15
Absolutely.
00:14:05.18\00:14:06.35
Well, we want
to go over to John.
00:14:06.38\00:14:07.52
John, we want to find
out a little about you,
00:14:07.55\00:14:09.60
you got a great voice
00:14:09.63\00:14:11.17
and I can tell that you're not--
00:14:11.20\00:14:12.44
you've been in 3 years
00:14:12.47\00:14:13.54
but you're not a
stranger to gospel music,
00:14:13.57\00:14:15.50
that's for sure.
00:14:15.53\00:14:16.56
I got a feeling you've
been singing most of your life,
00:14:16.59\00:14:18.02
is that right?
00:14:18.05\00:14:19.08
Oh, I loved it since as
early as I can remember.
00:14:19.11\00:14:21.11
I was a
southern gospel music fan
00:14:21.14\00:14:23.34
and grew up on the
music of the Happy Goodman's
00:14:23.37\00:14:25.72
and The Rainbows and
The Statesmen and all,
00:14:25.75\00:14:28.09
all of the groups from the day,
00:14:28.12\00:14:30.29
I just loved every bit of it.
00:14:30.32\00:14:32.10
And I started to
sing with my family
00:14:32.13\00:14:34.52
and that turned
into a group that started
00:14:34.55\00:14:36.79
after I got out of high
school called New Journey
00:14:36.82\00:14:39.50
and I traveled with them
until I went with Karen Peck
00:14:39.53\00:14:42.17
and New River and... Did you?
00:14:42.20\00:14:43.74
In 1999 stayed till 2003
00:14:43.77\00:14:46.94
and came off the
road to work in my church
00:14:46.97\00:14:49.95
and help build the
music program there.
00:14:49.98\00:14:51.48
All right. What
kind of church you go to?
00:14:51.51\00:14:53.31
I go to Christ Temple in
Huntington, West Virginia.
00:14:53.34\00:14:55.62
Okay.
00:14:55.65\00:14:56.68
It's a nondenominational church
00:14:56.71\00:14:57.82
where my pastor I've
known since I was 15.
00:14:57.85\00:15:00.28
Okay.
00:15:00.31\00:15:01.34
Now he was a radio disc jockey
00:15:01.37\00:15:02.72
in his early days in
southern gospel music.
00:15:02.75\00:15:05.38
And the Lord
called him to preach
00:15:05.41\00:15:07.50
and the next thing, you know,
00:15:07.53\00:15:09.67
he is the pastor of
the church that had been
00:15:09.70\00:15:12.49
originally pastored by
a man for 40 years almost.
00:15:12.52\00:15:15.90
And that church grew immediately
00:15:15.93\00:15:18.87
under my pastor
Nell's leadership
00:15:18.90\00:15:21.97
from about 60-70
people to about 2,500.
00:15:22.00\00:15:26.13
Wow. So God has really blessed.
00:15:26.16\00:15:28.29
Yeah, absolutely.
00:15:28.32\00:15:29.71
And I love it how
these guys comment,
00:15:29.74\00:15:31.26
instead of just
talking about themselves,
00:15:31.29\00:15:32.76
I ask them about their selves
00:15:32.79\00:15:33.87
and both of them have
gone to their churches,
00:15:33.90\00:15:36.14
notice that about how
they're grown and all of that.
00:15:36.17\00:15:39.34
And so now your
music, your family,
00:15:39.37\00:15:42.55
you said did they
all sing, your parents--
00:15:42.58\00:15:43.98
Well, yes, my grandmother
00:15:44.01\00:15:46.12
and my aunt had a trio
with another lady in our church
00:15:46.15\00:15:49.88
when I was growing up.
00:15:49.91\00:15:51.38
And she passed away
00:15:51.41\00:15:52.87
and when she, just
before she passed away,
00:15:52.90\00:15:55.37
she said, you need to
take John and keep singing.
00:15:55.40\00:15:59.23
And, you know,
I was 11 years old
00:15:59.26\00:16:02.14
and but I could hear parts
and so we just started that way
00:16:02.17\00:16:06.26
and our church would
invite us here and there
00:16:06.29\00:16:08.79
and one thing led to another
00:16:08.82\00:16:10.20
and the Lord just opened doors
00:16:10.23\00:16:11.26
and we kept walking through
00:16:11.29\00:16:13.42
and I mean, I fell
in love with the music.
00:16:13.45\00:16:17.00
All right. Now
you play instruments?
00:16:17.03\00:16:19.05
I play piano, play keyboards
00:16:19.08\00:16:20.97
and sometimes when
we're out live, you know,
00:16:21.00\00:16:23.07
we always try to bring
things down to a ministry time
00:16:23.10\00:16:28.13
at least at the end
and that is the time
00:16:28.16\00:16:31.92
when it just becomes
intimate with the congregation.
00:16:31.95\00:16:34.47
Sure, absolutely.
00:16:34.50\00:16:36.03
Tell me a little bit about--
I know you're a songwriter,
00:16:36.06\00:16:38.27
maybe the rest of
you guys write too some
00:16:38.30\00:16:40.39
but I think he's
probably your main songwriter.
00:16:40.42\00:16:42.88
He's the writer.
00:16:42.91\00:16:43.96
He's the writer, Neil.
This is the guy, right.
00:16:43.99\00:16:45.34
He's the writer, yes.
00:16:45.37\00:16:46.43
I'm always I'm intrigued
by the minds of writers,
00:16:46.46\00:16:49.20
you know, where they
come from 'cause people,
00:16:49.23\00:16:51.41
I'm not prolific
writer like some of you all,
00:16:51.44\00:16:53.36
but I've written songs over
the years and people would say,
00:16:53.39\00:16:55.63
where did that come from?
00:16:55.66\00:16:57.20
I know people who've
sang for most all their life
00:16:57.23\00:16:59.81
but they say I can't write,
00:16:59.84\00:17:01.02
I don't know how
to put that together
00:17:01.05\00:17:03.54
and I don't know
how to explain that.
00:17:03.57\00:17:05.96
What happens to
you? Where do you--
00:17:05.99\00:17:08.25
what makes you tick
when it comes to writing?
00:17:08.28\00:17:09.91
And people ask me--
00:17:09.94\00:17:10.97
You'd sit around and
get up the morning say,
00:17:11.00\00:17:12.43
I think I'll write a song today.
00:17:12.46\00:17:13.93
I wish it was like that
00:17:13.96\00:17:15.05
and it's not
really like that for me.
00:17:15.08\00:17:16.88
People ask me, you know,
00:17:16.91\00:17:17.95
how do you come
up with these ideas?
00:17:17.98\00:17:19.16
And I'll say, you know,
there's nothing else up there,
00:17:19.19\00:17:21.41
so I pretty much can
just concentrate on the songs
00:17:21.44\00:17:25.04
but I'll get
something from something
00:17:25.07\00:17:27.40
that my pastor
will say in a message.
00:17:27.43\00:17:29.77
I'll hear somebody say something
00:17:29.80\00:17:31.25
just in casual everyday,
00:17:31.28\00:17:33.33
you know,
conversation that will strike me
00:17:33.36\00:17:35.77
and I'll, maybe not necessarily
00:17:35.80\00:17:37.55
just the phrase they said
00:17:37.58\00:17:39.01
but it'll turn my
mind to something else
00:17:39.04\00:17:40.96
and next thing, you know,
00:17:40.99\00:17:42.54
there's a song that
is birth out of just
00:17:42.57\00:17:44.98
some little thing you hear.
00:17:45.01\00:17:46.45
You know, I don't write
a lot of Bible story songs,
00:17:46.48\00:17:49.66
you know, so many
people are great at rewriting
00:17:49.69\00:17:52.59
the three Hebrew
children and I just does
00:17:52.62\00:17:54.75
but I more find myself writing
things about everyday life
00:17:54.78\00:17:59.60
and how God
works in everyday life
00:17:59.63\00:18:01.41
because that's what
we're all living right now
00:18:01.44\00:18:03.74
is everyday life.
00:18:03.77\00:18:04.84
Absolutely.
00:18:04.87\00:18:05.90
And so I see God work so often
00:18:05.93\00:18:07.75
and I just think it's worse
to talk it about in a song.
00:18:07.78\00:18:11.70
So do you write the
music first or the words
00:18:11.73\00:18:14.29
or do you write them together?
00:18:14.32\00:18:15.51
For me it's
almost always together.
00:18:15.54\00:18:17.71
It's very seldom.
00:18:17.80\00:18:19.06
Now Dean and I
wrote a song together
00:18:19.09\00:18:20.89
on the new project
that he was talking about
00:18:20.92\00:18:24.27
a little bit earlier
called what about now,
00:18:24.30\00:18:26.37
and he really had talked about
00:18:26.40\00:18:29.02
what he-- how he felt
like the Lord dealt with him,
00:18:29.05\00:18:31.16
you know, growing up
00:18:31.19\00:18:32.78
and the way his mind was working
00:18:32.81\00:18:34.09
and he kind of laid
out all of that story
00:18:34.12\00:18:37.35
and started putting, you
know, phrases and music together
00:18:37.38\00:18:41.57
with his story and next
thing we know we had a song,
00:18:41.60\00:18:45.18
normally always it's
music and lyric together.
00:18:45.21\00:18:48.98
Now do your songs in general
00:18:49.01\00:18:51.35
when you're writing them
yourself, do they come quickly
00:18:51.38\00:18:53.78
or is it some-- you
maybe write a little bit,
00:18:53.81\00:18:55.65
then a week or two later,
you come back and month later
00:18:55.68\00:18:58.63
you finish it or how's that?
00:18:58.66\00:18:59.77
I find myself doing it
that way most all the time.
00:18:59.80\00:19:02.10
It's very seldom over all
the years I've written music
00:19:02.13\00:19:04.98
where I sat down and it was
just coming like that for me
00:19:05.01\00:19:08.90
and I was just
writing as fast as I could go.
00:19:08.93\00:19:11.49
Now it's a little
different when I do co-writes,
00:19:11.52\00:19:14.22
we're pretty much in a room
00:19:14.25\00:19:15.86
for 6 or 7 hours in a day
and we come out with a song
00:19:15.89\00:19:18.65
but you don't sit down
and just start writing,
00:19:18.68\00:19:20.98
Now, so that'll
help you finish it.
00:19:21.01\00:19:22.28
That's right. That's right.
00:19:22.31\00:19:26.00
So do you write for
publishing companies?
00:19:26.03\00:19:28.15
Yes, I write for
Daywind in Nashville.
00:19:28.18\00:19:29.99
And I've written
for just about everybody
00:19:30.67\00:19:33.09
in southern gospel music.
00:19:33.12\00:19:34.24
The Lord has
opened a lot of doors
00:19:34.27\00:19:36.06
and almost everybody
in southern gospel music
00:19:36.09\00:19:38.49
has recorded a song of mine.
00:19:38.52\00:19:39.57
Oh, that's great.
00:19:39.60\00:19:40.63
And I'm thankful for that.
00:19:40.66\00:19:41.70
Wonderful.
00:19:41.73\00:19:42.76
You ever hear of
Rick Shelton down there?
00:19:42.79\00:19:44.31
I am very much
acquainted with Rick,
00:19:44.34\00:19:46.60
he's the gentleman
who purchase all my songs.
00:19:46.63\00:19:49.25
He's my publisher.
00:19:49.28\00:19:50.33
Okay. Well,
he's your buddy then?
00:19:50.36\00:19:51.44
He is my buddy, I love
Rick with all my heart.
00:19:51.47\00:19:53.71
Yeah, absolutely.
00:19:53.74\00:19:55.32
Well, he's my nephew as
you may have figured that out.
00:19:55.35\00:19:57.44
I finally figured out that.
00:19:57.47\00:19:58.71
But he loves what he's doing.
00:19:58.74\00:20:01.33
A quick story about
Rick that you can go back
00:20:01.36\00:20:03.66
and you can tell him I said it.
00:20:03.69\00:20:05.76
But when he was
little, he loved music
00:20:06.03\00:20:10.09
but when he was
young for some reason
00:20:10.12\00:20:11.79
I didn't think
he'd ever carry tune,
00:20:11.82\00:20:13.15
he actually sings pretty well.
00:20:13.18\00:20:14.28
I don't know if
you ever heard him,
00:20:14.31\00:20:15.41
but Rick can sing well
but he loved gospel music
00:20:15.44\00:20:19.61
so my wife Kay who was later
killed in automobile accident
00:20:19.64\00:20:24.55
and my brother Tommy,
00:20:24.58\00:20:26.70
we had a trio
called the Shelton trio
00:20:26.73\00:20:28.55
in the late '60s and
early '70s and we sang around.
00:20:28.58\00:20:32.58
Rick would go,
they were introduce to,
00:20:32.61\00:20:35.25
you know, he was 3
or 4 or 5 years old,
00:20:35.28\00:20:37.50
Shelton trio, he
just walk up, serious,
00:20:37.53\00:20:40.90
just made me grab my mike
00:20:40.93\00:20:42.29
and just stand
there ready to sing
00:20:42.32\00:20:43.64
and like, do I get to sing?
'Cause we get ready to leave,
00:20:43.67\00:20:47.56
go get on the bus,
he'd get the driver's seat,
00:20:47.59\00:20:50.43
5 years old, went to so later,
00:20:50.46\00:20:53.78
years later he's
getting little older,
00:20:53.81\00:20:55.70
any groups come
through Southern Illinois,
00:20:55.73\00:20:58.87
we called him a diesel sniffer
'cause he chased all those,
00:20:58.90\00:21:01.67
any gospel music he--
00:21:01.70\00:21:03.45
dad, I want to go,
can somebody take me?
00:21:03.48\00:21:05.07
Uncle Danny.
00:21:05.10\00:21:06.13
Somebody take him to
hear these gospel groups.
00:21:06.16\00:21:08.70
Soon as they got to
car and I said his dream is
00:21:08.73\00:21:12.04
to be around gospel music,
00:21:12.07\00:21:14.44
is to know these
artists and talk to them.
00:21:14.47\00:21:16.82
now go up 20
years later, I went down
00:21:16.85\00:21:20.60
to the Quartet
Convention a year or so ago,
00:21:20.63\00:21:22.28
he said, I want to introduce
you around some of my folks,
00:21:22.31\00:21:25.27
we were walking
down the hallways,
00:21:25.30\00:21:26.85
all the groups that
he used to go try to,
00:21:26.88\00:21:29.49
hey, can I get a
picture all of them would say,
00:21:29.52\00:21:31.55
hey, Rick, we
need to talk to you,
00:21:31.58\00:21:33.47
we got the song idea,
00:21:33.50\00:21:34.77
have you got something for us?
00:21:34.80\00:21:36.02
Now he's an influencer.
00:21:36.05\00:21:37.17
And all of these
people that he used to watch
00:21:37.20\00:21:40.51
are now calling him saying,
hey, we need to get together.
00:21:40.54\00:21:44.19
That's great.
00:21:44.22\00:21:45.25
So I said, you know,
very few people Dean in life
00:21:45.28\00:21:48.00
accomplish what their
dreams are when they are a kid.
00:21:48.03\00:21:50.95
Some will far exceed
them, some won't ever get there
00:21:50.98\00:21:54.34
but very few just from time
you're 6, 7, 8, 10 years old
00:21:54.37\00:21:57.83
gonna end up,
00:21:57.86\00:21:58.92
he's exactly where
he would have dreamed,
00:21:58.95\00:22:00.98
if you would say when he's
10, what do you want to be?
00:22:01.01\00:22:03.10
That's what he would,
he'd be right there so,
00:22:03.13\00:22:05.53
kind of a neat story and--
00:22:05.56\00:22:07.51
That sounds like a neat family.
00:22:07.54\00:22:09.06
Well, God has blessed,
00:22:09.09\00:22:10.46
there're some of
us like all of us,
00:22:10.49\00:22:12.63
you know, my dad used to say,
00:22:12.66\00:22:14.12
son, you're a good boy
but you're not quite all there
00:22:14.15\00:22:17.24
but don't worry about it.
00:22:17.27\00:22:18.53
He would introduce me by
saying, this is my son Danny
00:22:18.56\00:22:20.95
and you can tell
by looking at him
00:22:20.98\00:22:22.24
he's not all there
00:22:22.27\00:22:23.31
but he's a good
kid, had a good heart.
00:22:23.34\00:22:24.87
And my dad would tell me,
00:22:24.90\00:22:25.98
he says, son he said,
you need to go to Hollywood,
00:22:26.01\00:22:28.07
he'd say, the walk
would really do you good.
00:22:28.10\00:22:29.85
There you go and
you're outstanding
00:22:31.38\00:22:33.37
in the field somewhere, right?
00:22:33.40\00:22:34.73
Heard all those,
go back to those.
00:22:35.04\00:22:37.35
Let's get back
to some music here.
00:22:37.38\00:22:39.20
"Somebody Prays",
who wrote that song?
00:22:39.23\00:22:41.01
I did.
00:22:41.04\00:22:42.07
You wrote this song? Okay,
00:22:42.10\00:22:43.52
so we're gonna ask you guys,
we're gonna ask The Guardians,
00:22:43.55\00:22:45.64
if you'll get ready and
they're gonna do another song
00:22:45.67\00:22:47.54
"Somebody Prays."
00:22:47.57\00:22:48.62
Once again, we'll put
up an address in a bit
00:22:48.65\00:22:52.10
and hopefully
you'll be able to get it.
00:22:52.13\00:22:53.92
We'll tell you
how to get your CDs.
00:22:53.95\00:22:55.44
Now they not only have this one,
00:22:55.47\00:22:56.93
they have numerous, maybe 15,
00:22:56.96\00:22:58.72
we'll ask them in a little bit
00:22:58.75\00:23:00.20
but they've got a
number of products
00:23:00.23\00:23:02.20
and that we'll
put up an address,
00:23:02.23\00:23:04.07
a website, where
you'll be able to contact them
00:23:04.10\00:23:06.40
because I know you're
gonna want this music.
00:23:06.43\00:23:08.71
Absolutely uplifting,
spiritually draws you closer
00:23:08.74\00:23:12.43
to the Lord and how could it be
00:23:12.46\00:23:14.33
arranged any better
than to have Lari Goss.
00:23:14.36\00:23:16.86
So here's a beautiful
song, "Somebody Prays."
00:23:16.89\00:23:20.79
A force lies within our hands
00:23:33.18\00:23:38.09
of power not known to man
00:23:38.12\00:23:42.18
It opens the door
to all that's in store
00:23:43.53\00:23:48.73
For those who obey
00:23:48.76\00:23:51.85
It's where miracles wait for you
00:23:53.37\00:23:59.32
And mercy comes shining through
00:23:59.35\00:24:04.30
Just see what the Lord can do
00:24:04.33\00:24:09.51
When somebody prays
00:24:09.54\00:24:15.15
Somebody prays and
haven pays attention
00:24:15.18\00:24:23.15
Somebody prays
and angels listen in
00:24:25.47\00:24:33.47
In Heaven it's written down
00:24:35.73\00:24:41.41
God's heart can hear the sound
00:24:41.44\00:24:46.33
And His mighty power abounds
00:24:46.36\00:24:51.42
When somebody prays
00:24:51.45\00:24:56.04
Oh, I've seen it time and again
00:24:56.07\00:25:01.91
A soul's reached its very end
00:25:01.94\00:25:06.94
The pressures of life
00:25:06.97\00:25:09.84
All the burdens and
strife just don't go away
00:25:09.87\00:25:15.30
Oh, but strength
comes down from above
00:25:17.45\00:25:22.23
And touches that hurting one
00:25:22.56\00:25:27.69
And faith rides on wings of love
00:25:27.72\00:25:32.93
When somebody prays
00:25:32.96\00:25:38.55
Somebody prays and
haven pays attention
00:25:38.58\00:25:46.55
Somebody prays
and angels listen in
00:25:49.08\00:25:57.08
Oh, in Heaven it's written down
00:25:58.51\00:26:04.71
God's heart can hear the sound
00:26:04.74\00:26:09.72
And His mighty power abounds
00:26:09.75\00:26:14.76
When somebody prays
00:26:14.79\00:26:20.51
I just steal away
00:26:20.54\00:26:25.48
I just steal away
00:26:25.51\00:26:29.99
It's where miracles wait for you
00:26:30.02\00:26:35.58
And mercy comes shining through
00:26:35.61\00:26:40.98
Just see what the Lord can do
00:26:41.01\00:26:46.19
When somebody prays
00:26:46.22\00:26:51.69
Somebody prays...
00:26:51.72\00:26:56.58
Somebody prays...
00:26:56.61\00:27:02.78
Amen. That's a two hander.
00:27:09.11\00:27:11.23
Down here we say two
hander, you got one hander,
00:27:11.26\00:27:13.73
sometimes a two hander.
00:27:13.76\00:27:15.59
Somebody Prays,
what a beautiful song.
00:27:15.62\00:27:18.91
And I don't know about you
00:27:18.94\00:27:20.01
but I find myself
falling in love with the music
00:27:20.04\00:27:22.43
of The Guardians.
00:27:22.46\00:27:23.94
And so again we'll put up
an address in a little bit,
00:27:23.97\00:27:27.11
I know I keep saying that
00:27:27.14\00:27:28.17
but I want you to get your
pencil and your paper ready
00:27:28.20\00:27:30.50
and because we're gonna
hear a couple more songs
00:27:30.53\00:27:32.91
and then we'll
give you the address.
00:27:32.94\00:27:34.45
And I'm gonna
encourage you to contact them
00:27:34.48\00:27:37.29
and find out all the products
that they have available
00:27:37.32\00:27:40.57
and I know this product,
00:27:40.60\00:27:42.36
I'm gonna try to get
and talk about this one
00:27:42.39\00:27:44.19
because this one here,
00:27:44.22\00:27:45.64
this is not only these
great songs and these guys
00:27:45.67\00:27:48.35
but Lari Goss is all over
00:27:48.38\00:27:49.71
so I got to have
one of these myself
00:27:49.74\00:27:51.90
and you'll
probably feel the same way.
00:27:51.93\00:27:54.03
Thanks again. Beautiful song.
00:27:54.06\00:27:55.35
John, you wrote that,
I want to say that again,
00:27:55.38\00:27:57.25
now you wrote that song, right?
00:27:57.28\00:27:58.73
Okay.
00:27:58.76\00:27:59.79
And the inspiration
behind that one was?
00:27:59.82\00:28:02.42
Well, there had been
a situation in my family
00:28:02.45\00:28:04.82
that for me just
kind of looked impossible
00:28:04.85\00:28:07.30
and I thought, well,
this is a dandy, you know,
00:28:07.33\00:28:10.83
everybody comes to those
situations in their family
00:28:10.86\00:28:13.70
and I watched the
Lord do something that
00:28:13.74\00:28:16.19
only He could do
00:28:16.22\00:28:17.48
and I knew it was because
there were so many praying
00:28:17.51\00:28:21.13
and it touched me
so much that it really
00:28:21.16\00:28:26.27
I guess hit home how
much power there is in prayer.
00:28:26.30\00:28:29.67
And I just wanted
to say when we pray,
00:28:29.70\00:28:33.56
sometimes we feel like
that our hands are tied
00:28:33.59\00:28:36.77
but that's the
most power we have.
00:28:36.80\00:28:38.37
When we call in the
name of the Lord in faith
00:28:38.40\00:28:40.84
and belief what we're praying,
00:28:40.87\00:28:42.71
we know that He's gonna
hear and He's gonna answer,
00:28:42.74\00:28:44.35
maybe it's not in the
time that I'm looking for
00:28:44.38\00:28:47.16
and maybe it's
not exactly the way,
00:28:47.19\00:28:49.09
but His ways are
higher than my ways.
00:28:49.12\00:28:51.31
And I've come to find
out, if I put my trust in Him
00:28:51.34\00:28:54.01
and just pray for His will,
00:28:54.04\00:28:56.36
everything's gonna,
it's gonna happen His way.
00:28:56.39\00:28:58.35
The Matthew 28:18 says,
"All power He's given me."
00:28:58.38\00:29:03.72
Yes. He's
establishing who He is.
00:29:03.75\00:29:06.06
That's right. All
power is given to me.
00:29:06.09\00:29:07.82
So if you're gonna pray,
who you're gonna pray to?
00:29:07.85\00:29:09.90
I want to pray to God
that's got all the power,
00:29:09.93\00:29:13.21
who can answer prayers in
a better way than we asked.
00:29:13.24\00:29:16.35
Right.
00:29:16.38\00:29:17.41
That's the beauty of it, you say
00:29:17.44\00:29:18.62
it doesn't always end
the way we want it to,
00:29:18.65\00:29:21.95
but it's for the best.
00:29:21.98\00:29:23.56
For His honor and for His glory.
00:29:23.59\00:29:25.37
Well, Neil, we're gonna
come down over here to you,
00:29:25.40\00:29:27.26
so usually we put the guy that,
00:29:27.29\00:29:29.06
you know, that
talks most down that line,
00:29:29.09\00:29:30.91
I don't know if
this is true or not,
00:29:30.94\00:29:32.32
you may be the
talker of the group
00:29:32.35\00:29:34.38
and but you've been with
them from the beginning, right?
00:29:34.41\00:29:37.52
Yes, I have, since we started.
00:29:37.55\00:29:38.92
And you sing
the baritone, right?
00:29:38.95\00:29:40.58
Yes.
00:29:40.61\00:29:41.64
Okay, now I forgot to say that,
you're the tenor of course.
00:29:41.67\00:29:44.52
And you're doing the lead,
00:29:44.55\00:29:45.90
and but you've got a
range, you could not think,
00:29:45.93\00:29:48.35
John, you can sing
probably a few parts
00:29:48.38\00:29:51.13
or whatever they need,
00:29:51.16\00:29:52.19
I got a feeling he
could jumping to do it,
00:29:52.22\00:29:53.98
you may be the same way.
00:29:54.01\00:29:55.35
Well, not as high as him,
00:29:55.38\00:29:57.25
even on that song
he was talking about,
00:29:57.28\00:29:59.13
what about now?
00:29:59.16\00:30:00.20
He even goes over the
tenor on some of that,
00:30:00.23\00:30:02.28
he does it quite right.
00:30:02.31\00:30:03.89
That's not
fair, that's not fair.
00:30:03.92\00:30:05.36
We have to talk
about that later.
00:30:05.39\00:30:08.07
We don't like guys to
show ourselves like that,
00:30:08.10\00:30:09.97
you know, no,
00:30:10.00\00:30:11.87
but you folks
have a great range,
00:30:11.90\00:30:13.61
mine's about this
big so I always like,
00:30:13.64\00:30:15.49
I appreciate others
who's got a great range.
00:30:15.52\00:30:18.37
But you've been
singing for long time,
00:30:18.40\00:30:20.05
tell me a little bit
about your background,
00:30:20.08\00:30:21.62
how were you, what kind
of home you were raised in?
00:30:21.65\00:30:24.10
Church home, mom
and dad Christians,
00:30:24.13\00:30:27.11
grandparents Christians,
00:30:27.14\00:30:28.17
in fact as early as
I can remember back,
00:30:28.20\00:30:32.03
my grandmother
started chasing me
00:30:32.06\00:30:34.23
and telling me how to get saved.
00:30:34.26\00:30:36.04
That was a priority in our life
00:30:36.07\00:30:38.25
and I remember
when I hit 10 years old,
00:30:38.28\00:30:42.15
she told me
that now is the time.
00:30:42.18\00:30:44.33
And that's when I met the Lord
00:30:44.36\00:30:45.64
and it's because of
my grandmother so...
00:30:45.67\00:30:47.09
Isn't that amazing?
00:30:47.12\00:30:48.20
And I've grown up in church,
attended church all my life.
00:30:48.23\00:30:52.20
Lot of
grandmothers don't try that
00:30:52.23\00:30:53.70
but if it works, maybe we ought
to think about chasing around
00:30:53.73\00:30:56.89
so now is the time.
00:30:56.92\00:30:58.92
So what kind of
church were you raised in?
00:30:58.95\00:31:00.90
Church of Christ
in Christian Union,
00:31:00.93\00:31:02.66
relatively new denomination.
00:31:02.69\00:31:04.93
Same doctrine as
Nazarene as Dean said.
00:31:04.96\00:31:07.02
I see, okay. Great.
00:31:07.05\00:31:09.03
So now your
grandmother encourages you
00:31:09.06\00:31:12.08
but the time you
get 15, 16, 17, 18,
00:31:12.11\00:31:15.35
sometimes those ideas,
you have second thoughts,
00:31:15.38\00:31:17.96
did you ever have
second thoughts or say,
00:31:17.99\00:31:20.15
you know, I
think I want to go out
00:31:20.18\00:31:21.42
and try different direction
00:31:21.45\00:31:22.57
or have you always just
wanted to serve the Lord?
00:31:22.60\00:31:24.89
Devil never leaves you alone.
00:31:24.92\00:31:27.28
He's always chasing you,
00:31:27.31\00:31:29.10
but I can't say that I
ever thought about anything else
00:31:29.13\00:31:32.13
because I still had
good, good help at home
00:31:32.16\00:31:37.23
with my parents
and my grandparents
00:31:37.26\00:31:39.47
and my family and then ended up
00:31:39.50\00:31:40.92
they found me a
girlfriend who was a Christian.
00:31:40.95\00:31:42.69
Okay, there you go.
00:31:42.72\00:31:43.75
And that made a lot
easier to stay there,
00:31:43.78\00:31:45.72
I won't say I
haven't had battles
00:31:45.75\00:31:47.65
and the devil
hadn't worked hard,
00:31:47.68\00:31:48.71
I went to college
and, but God is faithful
00:31:48.74\00:31:54.15
and you just need to
keep your eyes on Him
00:31:54.18\00:31:56.21
and He'll take care of you.
00:31:56.24\00:31:57.40
Absolutely.
00:31:57.43\00:31:58.46
What line of work, have
you always been in music
00:31:58.49\00:32:00.38
or do you do other...
to support your music?
00:32:00.41\00:32:03.91
Actually for 35 years
I worked in school system
00:32:03.94\00:32:07.18
and I retired
almost 10 years ago,
00:32:07.21\00:32:10.26
school administrator.
00:32:10.29\00:32:11.48
You weren't an English
teacher, were you by chance?
00:32:11.51\00:32:13.52
No, I hated English.
They make me nervous.
00:32:13.55\00:32:17.19
I hated English.
00:32:17.22\00:32:18.72
So anyway 10 years ago
00:32:18.75\00:32:22.35
when I retired from
school superintendent
00:32:22.38\00:32:24.92
in public
schools in Southern Ohio,
00:32:24.95\00:32:27.48
I went to work for Dean.
00:32:27.51\00:32:29.56
He had a job there
that my skills could handle
00:32:29.59\00:32:32.80
and I've been
working for him ever since.
00:32:32.83\00:32:35.36
You get him breaking in
00:32:35.39\00:32:36.55
and trying to
break into government--
00:32:36.58\00:32:41.94
so we can do that.
00:32:41.97\00:32:43.27
He's a
professional administrator.
00:32:43.30\00:32:45.80
Oh, I see, okay. Yeah.
00:32:45.83\00:32:46.89
So you're just
administrating that,
00:32:46.92\00:32:48.49
but knowing all the
stuff and doing all the work.
00:32:48.52\00:32:50.42
That's good.
00:32:50.45\00:32:51.48
I think I like your job better.
00:32:51.51\00:32:53.25
Yeah, I do too, feel safer.
00:32:53.28\00:32:55.41
Yeah, it's little feel
safer, that job for sure.
00:32:55.44\00:32:58.46
So gospel music is
just your family saying?
00:32:58.49\00:33:02.06
My dad had a family group,
00:33:02.09\00:33:03.78
in fact years ago they called it
00:33:03.81\00:33:06.17
the Uhrig Brothers Quintet,
00:33:06.20\00:33:08.07
it was not a quartet,
there were five of them.
00:33:08.10\00:33:10.25
Him and his two brothers
00:33:10.28\00:33:11.31
and they had two
first cousins that sang.
00:33:11.34\00:33:13.84
And when I was 17 in the summer,
00:33:13.87\00:33:20.07
the baritone
decided he wanted to retire,
00:33:20.10\00:33:21.84
start traveling.
00:33:21.87\00:33:23.77
I never really had sung
that much in church at all
00:33:23.80\00:33:27.83
other than in choirs but
my dad came to me and said,
00:33:27.86\00:33:29.93
hey, why don't you
try singing the baritone?
00:33:29.96\00:33:32.09
I could harmonize.
00:33:32.12\00:33:34.39
And I said-- he said
just come for a part time
00:33:34.42\00:33:36.42
till I find someone.
00:33:36.45\00:33:38.04
I did that for almost 37 years,
00:33:38.07\00:33:41.19
he was still finding
someone to fill the position.
00:33:41.22\00:33:44.13
37 years, okay.
00:33:44.16\00:33:45.90
And then it kind
of wound down to where
00:33:45.93\00:33:48.10
we'd lost piano players,
00:33:48.13\00:33:50.61
couldn't find someone like
John Rowsey to play the piano.
00:33:50.64\00:33:53.41
And it looked like
we were gonna fold up
00:33:53.44\00:33:55.52
and Dean had
sung with us 3 years,
00:33:55.55\00:34:00.26
and started what '79 or '78?
00:34:00.29\00:34:02.55
'79, yeah.
00:34:02.58\00:34:03.61
And filled in as tenor
for that period of time.
00:34:03.64\00:34:06.12
So we were
about ready to fold up
00:34:06.15\00:34:07.56
and we had this great
date mission we'd like to go
00:34:07.60\00:34:10.10
and my dad said
why don't we call Dean
00:34:10.13\00:34:12.44
and see if he'd fill in with
us and we'd get a piano player
00:34:12.47\00:34:15.42
when we go out and do that date.
00:34:15.45\00:34:16.99
And Dean wasn't
singing at the time
00:34:17.02\00:34:19.19
and we went, right
about 27 years ago?
00:34:19.22\00:34:22.09
Right.
00:34:22.12\00:34:23.15
And we took that
date and kind of liked it,
00:34:23.18\00:34:25.98
so let's sing a
couple more times.
00:34:26.01\00:34:28.54
And eventually
in short pretty time
00:34:28.57\00:34:31.35
we formed this group.
00:34:31.38\00:34:32.47
Mm-hmm.
00:34:32.50\00:34:33.71
Well, I love the
fact that you said
00:34:33.74\00:34:35.19
there'd been so few changes
00:34:35.22\00:34:37.00
and couple of deaths
and maybe change one time
00:34:37.03\00:34:40.12
that tells you about
you guys and your mission,
00:34:40.15\00:34:43.41
it hasn't changed,
you haven't-- you know,
00:34:43.44\00:34:45.39
you're still
there, you're still doing
00:34:45.42\00:34:46.92
what God's called you to do.
00:34:46.95\00:34:48.45
Dean and I have
never had an argument
00:34:48.48\00:34:50.31
in all these years.
00:34:50.34\00:34:51.73
Yeah. Wow, that's amazing.
00:34:51.76\00:34:52.79
What I loved about it
when I came with the group was,
00:34:52.82\00:34:55.53
you know, they've been
friends for all these years and,
00:34:55.56\00:34:58.56
you know, a lot of times
00:34:58.59\00:34:59.68
when you enter into
a situation like that,
00:34:59.71\00:35:02.61
you find out the
behind the scenes
00:35:02.64\00:35:04.10
is not really as good as
what you see on the exterior.
00:35:04.13\00:35:08.49
But behind the
scenes was even better
00:35:08.52\00:35:10.40
than the exterior,
00:35:10.43\00:35:11.46
that was that heart after
the Lord and the mission was
00:35:11.49\00:35:14.62
how can we reach somebody
with this gospel message
00:35:14.65\00:35:17.71
and what are we
gonna do to change a life
00:35:17.74\00:35:20.22
because God has blessed us.
00:35:20.25\00:35:21.83
How can we bless somebody else
00:35:21.86\00:35:23.11
and that really
spoke volumes to me.
00:35:23.14\00:35:25.64
I've been blessed, you know,
with Karen Peck and New River,
00:35:25.67\00:35:27.98
great, just phenomenal people.
00:35:28.01\00:35:30.39
And when you have
a standard like that,
00:35:30.42\00:35:33.04
you just want to always
measure up to that standard
00:35:33.07\00:35:36.41
and these guys,
wow, they really did it,
00:35:36.44\00:35:38.67
it's been blessing for
the last 3 years almost.
00:35:38.70\00:35:42.00
We're gonna get
you do another song,
00:35:42.03\00:35:43.66
may have time for
two if you don't mind,
00:35:43.69\00:35:45.67
we'll work on that
00:35:45.70\00:35:46.92
but this one's
"You'll Never Walk Alone",
00:35:46.95\00:35:49.38
now is that the one
that we know from way back
00:35:49.41\00:35:52.35
or is this a new
version of it or?
00:35:52.38\00:35:54.34
That song was written in 1945,
00:35:54.37\00:35:56.70
the year I was born,
Lari Goss was born that year
00:35:56.73\00:35:59.80
and I've always loved that song.
00:35:59.83\00:36:01.72
And recorded it another times
00:36:01.75\00:36:03.92
and so when Lari was doing that,
00:36:03.95\00:36:05.43
we said, Lari, can
you do us arrangement
00:36:05.46\00:36:07.37
on You'll Never Walk Alone?
00:36:07.40\00:36:08.97
So he called us, he said,
00:36:09.00\00:36:10.74
you guys like, would you
mind starting in a minor key?
00:36:10.77\00:36:13.93
I don't know we'll hear it.
00:36:13.96\00:36:15.60
So then he put the
other courses in there,
00:36:15.63\00:36:18.66
made it really a wonderful song.
00:36:18.69\00:36:21.47
And his-- the orchestration
on this is unbelievable.
00:36:21.50\00:36:24.26
He's genius. Yeah.
00:36:24.29\00:36:26.62
Well, you guys get
ready to sing for us
00:36:26.65\00:36:28.48
and I can't wait to hear this
00:36:28.51\00:36:29.92
because I've not heard this one,
00:36:29.95\00:36:31.57
and when Lari
Goss is asking you,
00:36:31.60\00:36:33.65
I'm used to him doing that,
00:36:33.68\00:36:34.81
do you mind if
we do this or that,
00:36:34.84\00:36:36.25
I've learned to
say, well, let's hear it
00:36:36.28\00:36:37.49
'cause I know
it's gonna be good.
00:36:37.52\00:36:39.06
And but again the arrangements,
but a beautiful song I'm sure,
00:36:39.09\00:36:42.48
many of you'll know it.
00:36:42.51\00:36:44.30
"You'll Never Walk Alone."
00:36:44.33\00:36:46.56
When you walk through a storm
00:37:13.86\00:37:21.67
Hold your head up high
00:37:21.70\00:37:28.53
And don't be afraid of the dark
00:37:28.56\00:37:36.53
At the end of the storm
00:37:41.56\00:37:48.26
There's a golden sky
00:37:48.29\00:37:54.63
And the sweet silver song
00:37:54.66\00:38:01.32
Of a lark
00:38:01.35\00:38:08.35
Walk on through the wind
00:38:08.38\00:38:14.98
Walk on through the rain
00:38:15.01\00:38:20.86
Though your dreams be tossed
00:38:20.89\00:38:28.33
And blown
00:38:28.36\00:38:34.71
Walk on
00:38:34.74\00:38:38.32
Walk on with hope in your heart
00:38:38.35\00:38:46.32
And you'll never walk alone
00:38:47.29\00:38:55.29
You'll never walk alone
00:39:01.33\00:39:09.33
Till the storm passes over
00:39:15.60\00:39:21.61
Till the thunder sounds no more
00:39:21.64\00:39:27.41
Till the clouds roll forever
00:39:27.44\00:39:32.50
From the sky
00:39:32.53\00:39:38.00
Walk on
00:39:38.03\00:39:40.95
Walk on with hope in your heart
00:39:40.98\00:39:48.95
And you'll never walk alone
00:39:49.28\00:39:57.28
You'll never walk alone
00:40:02.44\00:40:10.44
You'll never walk alone
00:40:15.45\00:40:23.45
Just hold
00:40:31.92\00:40:34.21
To God's unchanging hand
00:40:34.24\00:40:40.12
Hold to God's unchanging hand
00:40:40.15\00:40:47.12
And you'll never ever
00:40:49.18\00:40:56.91
Walk alone
00:40:56.94\00:41:04.91
Never walk alone
00:41:05.26\00:41:13.26

00:42:11.02\00:42:12.27
You know, I've heard that song
00:42:12.30\00:42:14.65
practically all my life
and I did not expect that,
00:42:14.68\00:42:17.69
I did not expect,
what did you call that?
00:42:17.72\00:42:19.59
Lari calls those as...
00:42:19.62\00:42:20.72
Turning the
corner. Turning the corner.
00:42:20.75\00:42:22.27
I did not expect him to
turn those corners like that
00:42:22.30\00:42:26.37
and I mean, I don't even
have words, it's fabulous.
00:42:26.40\00:42:29.80
I loved it. Thank you.
00:42:29.83\00:42:30.90
I'm blessed, I get
chill bumps all over me
00:42:30.93\00:42:34.14
not only the
way you guys sing it
00:42:34.17\00:42:35.93
but how you put that together,
00:42:35.96\00:42:37.53
it's just
literally is so inspiring.
00:42:37.56\00:42:40.38
I mean that is
beautiful, I love that.
00:42:40.41\00:42:42.50
Well, you'll never walk alone.
00:42:42.53\00:42:44.96
Tell me a quick story, Neil?
00:42:44.99\00:42:46.68
Well, we're here
because of Lari Goss
00:42:46.71\00:42:49.20
who made the arrangement
00:42:49.23\00:42:50.57
and a humorous
story about him is
00:42:50.60\00:42:53.50
he first found out
what Dean did for living
00:42:53.53\00:42:57.39
and he was so
intrigued about wanting to know
00:42:57.42\00:43:00.05
the story behind all that,
00:43:00.08\00:43:01.49
he even a second
or third time we meet,
00:43:01.52\00:43:03.60
he started
getting Dean aside and
00:43:03.63\00:43:05.32
trying to fill in
more things and he said,
00:43:05.35\00:43:07.86
he asked Dean, he
said, is it possible,
00:43:07.89\00:43:10.47
he said, I would really
like for you if you could
00:43:10.50\00:43:13.29
to get me a scud missile.
00:43:13.32\00:43:14.78
Says that, can you
get me a scud missile?
00:43:14.81\00:43:17.18
Dean says, well, I don't
know. What do you suppose to do?
00:43:17.21\00:43:19.56
I'd like to have
one of those things.
00:43:19.59\00:43:21.14
When I'm working
with some of these groups
00:43:21.17\00:43:22.84
that can't sing,
00:43:22.87\00:43:23.90
he said, I'd like to fire
a scud missile at them and--
00:43:23.93\00:43:27.53
But we said we wouldn't get
him one till we were finished.
00:43:27.56\00:43:29.65
Yeah.
00:43:29.68\00:43:30.71
So second trip back down there,
00:43:30.74\00:43:34.04
it was that
song there I believe,
00:43:34.07\00:43:36.24
you know, things
are kind of rough
00:43:36.27\00:43:37.82
when you're
first learning songs.
00:43:37.85\00:43:39.70
And you're just kind of singing
around the piano with Lari
00:43:39.73\00:43:42.17
and he was playing
along and we were trying to go
00:43:42.20\00:43:44.73
and I kind of got out
into the woods a little bit
00:43:44.76\00:43:47.52
and he looked over me, he says,
where is that scud missile?
00:43:47.55\00:43:49.65
No.
00:43:49.68\00:43:50.76
That was Lari.
00:43:53.48\00:43:55.42
That we call that
getting out on a limb.
00:43:55.45\00:43:57.42
Sometimes I get out on a limb,
00:43:57.45\00:43:59.36
I've heard musicians or
singers who get out on limb,
00:43:59.39\00:44:01.56
you can't get back.
00:44:01.59\00:44:02.82
It's nice to be able to
go out on that bass player,
00:44:02.85\00:44:05.25
we used to have
a bass player, but
00:44:05.28\00:44:07.39
he didn't play with
our group but one we'd go
00:44:07.42\00:44:09.71
and I'd say that
he'd run that thing
00:44:09.74\00:44:11.36
and he get way out on a limb
00:44:11.39\00:44:12.73
but he couldn't get back,
00:44:12.76\00:44:14.64
but it was great going out there
00:44:14.67\00:44:16.44
so I know what you
mean, but you guys got back,
00:44:16.47\00:44:19.08
you got back so I know.
00:44:19.11\00:44:20.86
Of course Lari if he meant
that, he wouldn't have said it,
00:44:20.89\00:44:23.02
that's probably when he's quiet,
00:44:23.05\00:44:24.74
when I have to wonder
what he's thinking about me.
00:44:24.77\00:44:27.58
But he was always
encouraging, wasn't he?
00:44:27.61\00:44:28.99
Always.
00:44:29.02\00:44:30.05
He literally encouraged you
and got the best out of you.
00:44:30.08\00:44:33.07
You never heard anything
00:44:33.10\00:44:34.15
but
encouragement from him, yeah.
00:44:34.18\00:44:35.65
Yeah, absolutely loved him.
00:44:35.68\00:44:37.60
Well, it's been a privilege
having you guys here today
00:44:37.63\00:44:40.52
and getting to know you
and for our folks at home
00:44:40.55\00:44:43.05
getting to know
you a little bit.
00:44:43.08\00:44:44.66
And I want to make sure
that I put you on the spot,
00:44:44.69\00:44:47.01
you know, on
international television,
00:44:47.04\00:44:48.67
surely you'll come back.
00:44:48.70\00:44:49.94
This won't be
the last time, right?
00:44:49.97\00:44:51.32
If you have us,
Danny, we would love it.
00:44:51.35\00:44:53.29
We stand in awe at 3ABN
00:44:53.32\00:44:55.76
and wow, what's been done here
00:44:55.79\00:44:58.81
and it's going
on around the world,
00:44:58.84\00:45:01.13
touching hearts,
it's just unbelievable.
00:45:01.16\00:45:04.69
There's no doubt
it's God at work.
00:45:04.72\00:45:06.34
No doubt. Wow.
00:45:06.37\00:45:07.42
And that's what it should be
00:45:07.45\00:45:08.80
and that's what we
feel about you guys,
00:45:08.83\00:45:10.51
so we have that in
common because you realized
00:45:10.54\00:45:13.13
that we can do nothing ourselves
00:45:13.16\00:45:15.38
but we can accomplish all
things through Christ Jesus.
00:45:15.41\00:45:18.97
Amen. Absolutely.
00:45:19.00\00:45:20.03
We're gonna have you
guys do another song,
00:45:20.06\00:45:21.78
it's your last song for today,
00:45:21.81\00:45:23.35
"Greatest of all Miracles."
00:45:23.38\00:45:24.78
Now tell me about this song.
00:45:24.81\00:45:26.23
Yeah, that song was written
probably close to 40 years
00:45:26.26\00:45:29.20
by Squire Parsons
and it speaks to me,
00:45:29.23\00:45:33.71
you know, no matter
what Jesus did on earth,
00:45:33.74\00:45:36.08
He did some great miracles but
how can you take a black heart
00:45:36.11\00:45:40.86
and turn it white as snow,
00:45:40.89\00:45:42.61
you know, save
that soul from hell,
00:45:42.64\00:45:46.02
put them on the right path,
00:45:46.05\00:45:47.76
you know, that's the greatest
miracle we could ever imagine.
00:45:47.79\00:45:50.64
And that song, it
just spoke to me forever.
00:45:50.67\00:45:52.64
I recorded it
probably 30 years ago
00:45:52.67\00:45:56.06
and then when we were recording
anniversary CD with us,
00:45:56.09\00:45:58.52
I said, gentlemen, I
would like to get back
00:45:58.55\00:46:00.10
and just record that again. Wow.
00:46:00.13\00:46:01.97
I'm glad you did, I
heard it and I love it
00:46:02.00\00:46:03.96
and folks are going to if
you guys get ready right now.
00:46:03.99\00:46:06.52
But on this latest
project The Guardians
00:46:06.55\00:46:08.74
"Let My Heart Sing",
00:46:08.77\00:46:09.80
there is number of songs here.
00:46:09.83\00:46:11.42
"My hope is in the
Lord, Be still and know,
00:46:11.45\00:46:13.70
It ain't gonna worry me long,"
00:46:13.73\00:46:15.11
I heard that one earlier.
00:46:15.14\00:46:16.61
"You'll never walk
alone, Shoutin' sounds,
00:46:16.64\00:46:18.67
Somebody prays,
Get out of the way,"
00:46:18.70\00:46:21.36
I like that, Get out of--
00:46:21.39\00:46:22.42
I've been told that
before to get out of the way.
00:46:22.45\00:46:24.89
"Let my heart sing,
Going to the Promised Land
00:46:24.92\00:46:27.89
and then, What about now."
00:46:27.92\00:46:29.35
So we want to encourage you,
00:46:29.38\00:46:32.78
we'll put the address up again
00:46:32.81\00:46:34.04
before we're through
here in just a few moments
00:46:34.07\00:46:36.40
and encourage you to
contact The Guardians
00:46:36.43\00:46:38.15
and just get to know them,
00:46:38.18\00:46:39.65
see what products
they have available
00:46:39.68\00:46:41.39
and then share them with
your friends and your enemies,
00:46:41.42\00:46:43.54
sharing with everybody, right?
00:46:43.57\00:46:45.14
So right now we're
gonna be blessed as we hear
00:46:45.17\00:46:47.39
"Greatest of all Miracles."
00:46:47.42\00:46:49.02
I wasn't there
00:47:11.13\00:47:13.42
by the shores of Galilee
00:47:13.45\00:47:20.42
When Jesus touched
00:47:20.53\00:47:23.19
those blinded
eyes and made them see
00:47:23.22\00:47:30.03
And though I did
not see the empty tomb
00:47:30.06\00:47:35.73
that day, I still believe
00:47:35.76\00:47:40.48
For I know
00:47:40.51\00:47:42.33
what Jesus did for me
00:47:42.36\00:47:49.41
And I believe there is power
00:47:49.44\00:47:54.91
in the blood of the Lamb
00:47:54.94\00:47:58.91
And I believe there is healing
00:47:58.94\00:48:04.48
in the touch of His hand
00:48:04.51\00:48:11.31
But the greatest of all miracles
00:48:11.34\00:48:16.57
was when my Jesus saved me
00:48:16.60\00:48:21.07
Yes, I know
00:48:21.10\00:48:23.20
what Jesus did for me
00:48:23.23\00:48:30.06
I'm so thankful for
the touch of my life.
00:48:30.09\00:48:34.74
Now I have seen
00:48:34.77\00:48:37.56
the lowest sin-sick soul
00:48:37.59\00:48:44.53
Find life anew and be made pure,
00:48:44.56\00:48:49.18
so pure and whole
00:48:49.21\00:48:54.01
Friend, I have felt
Him break the chains of sin
00:48:54.04\00:49:00.07
He set my spirit free
00:49:00.10\00:49:03.61
And today I know
00:49:03.64\00:49:06.10
what Jesus did for me
00:49:06.13\00:49:13.56
And I believe there is power
00:49:13.59\00:49:18.95
in the blood of the Lamb
00:49:18.98\00:49:22.71
And I believe there is healing
00:49:22.74\00:49:28.51
in the touch of His hand
00:49:28.54\00:49:35.86
But the greatest of all miracles
00:49:35.89\00:49:40.53
was when my Jesus saved me
00:49:40.56\00:49:44.73
Yes, I know
00:49:44.76\00:49:46.97
what Jesus did for me
00:49:47.00\00:49:52.70
