Christmas,
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
a time when the
world pauses for a moment
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
and whether or not
they believe in Jesus,
00:00:04.10\00:00:06.03
the birth of our
Savior is on everyone's mind.
00:00:06.07\00:00:08.94
We sing glory to
God in the highest
00:00:08.97\00:00:10.97
and on earth peace,
goodwill toward men.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I introduce to you, Dino.
00:00:41.77\00:00:44.87
Amen, praise
the Lord. Thank you.
00:04:18.42\00:04:20.99
That beautiful or what?
00:04:21.02\00:04:22.36
Oh, wow, that's exciting. Wow.
00:04:22.39\00:04:24.19
Well, caroling
to me is so amazing
00:04:24.23\00:04:26.90
during the Christmas season,
00:04:26.93\00:04:28.50
like we're going
to do it right now.
00:04:28.53\00:04:30.07
And by the way, it's
great to be with you.
00:04:30.10\00:04:31.97
Thank you.
00:04:32.00\00:04:33.34
It's good to have you here
00:04:33.37\00:04:34.70
and your beautiful wife, Cheryl,
00:04:34.74\00:04:36.07

00:04:36.10\00:04:37.44
Thank you so much.
00:04:37.47\00:04:38.81
And, you know...
It's a joy to be here.
00:04:38.84\00:04:40.18
Yvonne and I love you, and
we love your singing voice.
00:04:40.21\00:04:41.68
You've got such a great voice.
00:04:41.71\00:04:43.48
We have a wonderful staff.
00:04:43.51\00:04:45.21
We've been to a lot of studios
00:04:45.25\00:04:46.58
and lot of
networks we've played on,
00:04:46.61\00:04:47.95
you know, over the years.
00:04:47.98\00:04:49.32
Oh, I know.
00:04:49.35\00:04:50.69
But I got to say, your
staff here is one of the best.
00:04:50.72\00:04:53.02
Praise the Lord for that.
00:04:53.05\00:04:54.39
It's a great
stage to be on for sure.
00:04:54.42\00:04:55.92
Absolutely.
00:04:55.96\00:04:57.29
And speaking of that,
we have Ryan Day over here,
00:04:57.33\00:04:59.19
and we have
Pastor John Lomacang.
00:04:59.23\00:05:01.40
And your friends came
from... Brenda Hayes, Brenda,
00:05:01.43\00:05:04.33
she's on our staff.
00:05:04.37\00:05:05.70
She came from where now?
00:05:05.73\00:05:07.07
Granada city, Illinois.
Granada City, Illinois.
00:05:07.10\00:05:08.60
And of course,
Jill Morikone and...
00:05:08.64\00:05:09.97
Yes.
00:05:10.01\00:05:11.34
Tim Parton back
here, and Tammy Chance,
00:05:11.37\00:05:12.71
and Yvonne and myself.
00:05:12.74\00:05:14.08
I just have the Tim, you know.
00:05:14.11\00:05:16.14
That's like a theme song.
00:05:16.18\00:05:18.51
We're all thrilled to be here.
00:05:18.55\00:05:20.15
But what we're going to do
00:05:20.18\00:05:21.82
is we get to
sing with Dino, folks.
00:05:21.85\00:05:23.59
So ain't that amazing?
00:05:23.62\00:05:24.99
Yes. We watched you.
00:05:25.02\00:05:26.65
And literally, I
guess we've seen you
00:05:26.69\00:05:29.19
in many places around the world
00:05:29.22\00:05:30.56
for at least,
you know, 10 years...
00:05:30.59\00:05:32.06
Hundred years. Yeah, right.
00:05:32.09\00:05:33.60
Ten or fifteen years.
It's been a while back.
00:05:33.63\00:05:36.36
And, you know, we
haven't changed a bit, have we
00:05:36.40\00:05:37.80
over a 100 years?
00:05:37.83\00:05:39.17
And you know what,
00:05:39.20\00:05:40.54
there's very few people
that we've ever introduced.
00:05:40.57\00:05:41.97
We just give one name.
00:05:42.00\00:05:43.34
Right. That's true.
00:05:43.37\00:05:44.71
Elvis hasn't
been on the program,
00:05:44.74\00:05:46.24
and then he died before 3ABN,
00:05:46.27\00:05:48.04
but we can say
Dino and people know...
00:05:48.08\00:05:49.78
That's right.
00:05:49.81\00:05:51.15
We call Dino II, so...
00:05:51.18\00:05:52.75
I like Dino better.
00:05:52.78\00:05:54.12
Introducing Dino,
00:05:54.15\00:05:55.48
that really would go over there.
00:05:55.52\00:05:56.85
Just like the Dino part.
00:05:56.89\00:05:58.22
All right,
00:05:58.25\00:05:59.59
so we're just
here to help today,
00:05:59.62\00:06:00.96
and we're thrilled to be here.
00:06:00.99\00:06:02.32
So tell us a little
bit about the program
00:06:02.36\00:06:03.69
and what we're
going to be doing.
00:06:03.73\00:06:05.06
And I think they're
going to have us sing
00:06:05.09\00:06:06.43
and some of us are
just now walking on.
00:06:06.46\00:06:07.80
And so I have no idea, Tammy,
00:06:07.83\00:06:09.53
what's going on and, Jill, so.
00:06:09.56\00:06:10.90
Well, the deal is this,
00:06:10.93\00:06:12.27
we want not only
you folks to sing,
00:06:12.30\00:06:13.64
we want thousands of people
that are watching to sing.
00:06:13.67\00:06:15.60
We want you to join in
00:06:15.64\00:06:16.97
because this is
called Grand Caroling.
00:06:17.01\00:06:19.17
I mean, it's
going to be amazing.
00:06:19.21\00:06:20.54
Oh, great.
World's largest choir.
00:06:20.58\00:06:21.91
Yeah.
00:06:21.94\00:06:23.28
Around the world.
00:06:23.31\00:06:24.65
And I'll lead
you into each carol
00:06:24.68\00:06:26.01
because we're going
to kind of impromptu this
00:06:26.05\00:06:27.48
a little bit, okay?
00:06:27.52\00:06:28.85
Good. Good.
This sounds like fun.
00:06:28.88\00:06:30.22
You all ready for this?
00:06:30.25\00:06:31.59
Yes, yes. So we're ready.
00:06:31.62\00:06:32.95
All right, let's
go, Grand Caroling.
00:06:32.99\00:06:34.32
Joy to the world.
00:06:41.90\00:06:43.67
Joy, joy, joy Joy, joy, joy
00:06:47.17\00:06:51.14
Joy to the
world, The Lord is come
00:06:51.17\00:06:55.38
Let earth receive her King
00:06:55.41\00:07:00.08
Let every heart Prepare Him room
00:07:00.12\00:07:05.09
And Heaven and nature sing
00:07:05.12\00:07:07.09
And Heaven And nature sing
00:07:07.12\00:07:09.56
And Heaven, and Heaven
00:07:09.59\00:07:12.36
And nature sing
00:07:12.39\00:07:14.60
Very good. Great.
00:07:14.63\00:07:16.60
Now join us as we
sing the next part.
00:07:16.63\00:07:19.53
The first Noel.
00:07:19.57\00:07:22.14
The First Noel,
00:07:22.17\00:07:26.11
The Angels did say
00:07:26.14\00:07:29.91
Was to certain poor shepherds
00:07:29.94\00:07:33.75
In fields as they lay
00:07:33.78\00:07:37.69
In fields where they lay
00:07:37.72\00:07:42.29
Keeping their sheep
00:07:42.32\00:07:45.59
On a cold winter's night
00:07:45.63\00:07:49.73
That was so deep
00:07:49.76\00:07:53.64
Noel, Noel,
00:07:53.67\00:07:57.57

Angels we have heard on high.
00:08:32.74\00:08:36.48
Angels we have heard on high
00:08:36.51\00:08:40.88
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
00:08:40.92\00:08:45.69
And the mountains in reply
00:08:45.72\00:08:50.26
Echoing their joyous strains
00:08:50.29\00:08:54.96
Gloria
00:08:55.00\00:09:00.97
In excelsis Deo
00:09:04.11\00:09:08.81
Gloria
00:09:08.84\00:09:14.82

One more to go.

Whoo! Glory.
00:10:43.87\00:10:45.21
Wow, wonderful.
00:10:45.24\00:10:46.57
Amen, praise the Lord.
00:10:46.61\00:10:47.94
Give yourselves
a hand. It's great.
00:10:47.98\00:10:49.31
Well, we'll
give the Lord a hand.
00:10:49.34\00:10:50.68
That's amazing.
00:10:50.71\00:10:52.38
Incredible. Wow!
00:10:52.41\00:10:53.92
Well, you know,
00:10:53.95\00:10:55.28
this is what Christmas is about.
00:10:55.32\00:10:56.65
We're talking
about the birth of Jesus.
00:10:56.69\00:10:58.02
Yes. That's right.
00:10:58.05\00:10:59.39
That God sent His
Son to this earth...
00:10:59.42\00:11:00.76
That's right.
00:11:00.79\00:11:02.12
To be born a manger
with, story doesn't end there.
00:11:02.16\00:11:03.49
Doesn't end there.
00:11:03.53\00:11:04.86
Yes, He was born a manger,
00:11:04.89\00:11:06.23
but He grew up to
become the Savior of this world
00:11:06.26\00:11:07.83
and soon can be King.
00:11:07.86\00:11:09.20
That's right.
00:11:09.23\00:11:10.57
That's the story
right there, gospel story.
00:11:10.60\00:11:12.73
That's what it's all about.
00:11:12.77\00:11:14.67
Well, guys, ready
to go on the road?
00:11:14.70\00:11:16.17
The bus is
waiting outside to go...
00:11:17.77\00:11:19.11
Well, I hope you at
home are having as much fun
00:11:20.24\00:11:22.11
as we are here today.
00:11:22.14\00:11:23.61
You all having a good time?
00:11:23.65\00:11:24.98
Yeah.
00:11:25.01\00:11:26.35
I mean, this is
something that we get together
00:11:26.38\00:11:27.88
at this time of year,
00:11:27.92\00:11:29.38
and we should all, season,
00:11:29.42\00:11:30.99
but so many times don't wait,
00:11:31.02\00:11:32.35
we just wait till Christmas time
00:11:32.39\00:11:34.26
and the
holidays to get together.
00:11:34.29\00:11:35.89
It's true, and this
to be together like this
00:11:35.92\00:11:38.19
in this beautiful studio,
00:11:38.23\00:11:39.83
which is
absolutely gorgeous, you know.
00:11:39.86\00:11:41.23
And if you've never been here,
00:11:41.26\00:11:42.60
you got to come
and see this place.
00:11:42.63\00:11:43.97
It's fantastic. Absolutely.
00:11:44.00\00:11:45.33
But I thought since
you're all together here,
00:11:45.37\00:11:46.70
I'm going to take
advantage of this group here
00:11:46.74\00:11:48.50
because you all
are singing so well.
00:11:48.54\00:11:49.87
Can we sing,
00:11:49.90\00:11:51.24
"O Come Let Us Adore Him."
00:11:51.27\00:11:55.74
O come let us adore Him
00:11:55.78\00:12:01.18
O come let us Adore Him
00:12:01.22\00:12:07.72
Christ the Lord
00:12:07.76\00:12:11.76
For He alone is worthy.
00:12:11.79\00:12:13.90
For He alone is worthy
00:12:13.93\00:12:19.57
For He alone Is worthy
00:12:19.60\00:12:25.04
For He alone is worthy
00:12:25.07\00:12:32.31
Christ the Lord
00:12:32.35\00:12:37.45
You know, we mustn't
forget what this is all about.
00:12:37.49\00:12:40.12
I mean, this season is
about the birth of Jesus.
00:12:40.16\00:12:44.43
And I'll tell
you He's worthy of...
00:12:44.46\00:12:47.00
I mean,
00:12:47.03\00:12:48.36
we loved... I can
tell, I was watching you,
00:12:48.40\00:12:50.10
I can tell you guys love Jesus
00:12:50.13\00:12:51.47
because we're worshipping him...
00:12:51.50\00:12:52.83
Amen.
00:12:52.87\00:12:54.20
I got a little surprise.
00:12:54.24\00:12:55.57
Okay, we love surprises.
Everybody likes surprises.
00:12:55.60\00:12:58.34
Now we don't put a
lot of emphasis on gifts,
00:12:58.37\00:13:00.51
but we're willing to
open to it right now.
00:13:00.54\00:13:02.91
If you have something, you know,
00:13:02.94\00:13:04.68
that you want to share with us,
00:13:04.71\00:13:06.05
we're open to gifts, right?
00:13:06.08\00:13:07.42
When you say that to
Greek, they go "Opa."
00:13:07.45\00:13:10.42
Little Christmas party.
00:13:10.45\00:13:12.22
Well, okay,
00:13:12.25\00:13:13.59
most of you may
have know already,
00:13:13.62\00:13:14.96
but may know that we came out
00:13:14.99\00:13:16.46
with a brand new
hymnal, praise God.
00:13:16.49\00:13:18.49
Oh, wonderful.
00:13:18.53\00:13:19.86
A 101 hymns,
00:13:19.89\00:13:21.33
the most favorite hymns
called Hymn Restoration.
00:13:21.36\00:13:24.57
Bringing back the
hymns of the Church.
00:13:24.60\00:13:26.17
And I just
happen to have hymnals
00:13:26.20\00:13:29.07
for each and everyone,
00:13:29.10\00:13:30.44
I'm giving to you
as a Christmas gift.
00:13:30.47\00:13:31.81
Oh. Wonderful, wonderful.
00:13:31.84\00:13:33.17
This is for you.
00:13:33.21\00:13:34.54
Cheryl, you
already have one, okay?
00:13:34.58\00:13:36.54
I have two. Cheryl's got one.
00:13:36.58\00:13:38.08
All right, there we
go, they're all yours.
00:13:38.11\00:13:39.71
Pass one down.
00:13:39.75\00:13:41.22
Thank you so much. My pleasure.
00:13:41.25\00:13:42.58
These are beautiful too.
00:13:42.62\00:13:43.95
These are yours.
00:13:43.99\00:13:45.32
Now do Yvonne
and I have to share
00:13:45.35\00:13:46.69
or do we get one of each?
00:13:46.72\00:13:48.06
No, you get yours.
00:13:48.09\00:13:49.42
Oh, good, good.
00:13:49.46\00:13:50.79
You're not always together,
so you can have your own.
00:13:50.83\00:13:52.16
Thank you.
00:13:52.19\00:13:53.53
These are beautiful.
00:13:53.56\00:13:54.90
Hymn Restoration.
00:13:54.93\00:13:56.26
They kind of
look like Christmas.
00:13:56.30\00:13:57.63
Hundred and one treasured hymns.
00:13:57.67\00:13:59.00
Now I know our
audience very well,
00:13:59.03\00:14:00.37
and they're going to want this
00:14:00.40\00:14:01.74
later on, you have to
promise to give us an address,
00:14:01.77\00:14:03.10
so they can contact you
about all these beautiful...
00:14:03.14\00:14:05.17
Just so, you know, I
didn't bring it to promote.
00:14:05.21\00:14:07.11
No, no, no. But
since you mentioned it.
00:14:07.14\00:14:08.48
I know you didn't, you
didn't talk about it...
00:14:08.51\00:14:09.84
Thank you so much.
00:14:09.88\00:14:11.21
But there is one
thing I want them to know.
00:14:11.25\00:14:12.58
There's one thing
I want you to know
00:14:12.61\00:14:14.48
and that is that these
also contain devotionals
00:14:14.52\00:14:17.95
and give you a little
history about this hymns.
00:14:17.99\00:14:20.46
Oh, wonderful, each one.
00:14:20.49\00:14:21.82
Every time...
00:14:21.86\00:14:23.19
You did those, right?
00:14:23.22\00:14:24.56
I did. Wonderful.
00:14:24.59\00:14:25.93
I did. I did. I love it.
00:14:25.96\00:14:27.30
But I want you to
gain those information.
00:14:27.33\00:14:28.66
Beautiful.
00:14:28.70\00:14:30.03
Thank you so much.
00:14:30.07\00:14:31.40
I thought of maybe one
of those wonderful hymns
00:14:31.43\00:14:32.77
that we don't hear that
often in church anymore.
00:14:32.80\00:14:34.14
"O worship the
King." Oh, we love that.
00:14:34.17\00:14:35.50
Oh, yes.
00:14:35.54\00:14:36.87
Don't you think it's
appropriate for Christmas.
00:14:36.91\00:14:38.24
I think we're here to
worship the King for sure.
00:14:38.27\00:14:40.11
And what page is that, Tim?
00:14:40.14\00:14:41.48
Sixty-five. One-thirty-six.
00:14:41.51\00:14:44.08
One-thirty-six.
00:14:44.11\00:14:45.45
Page 136, and it's number 65.
00:14:45.48\00:14:47.28
Is it 36 or 35?
00:14:47.32\00:14:48.85
Sixty-five. Sixty-five.
00:14:48.88\00:14:50.95
Oh, I got it all wrong, it's 65.
00:14:50.99\00:14:53.96
And Timmy... What...
00:14:53.99\00:14:56.29
Timmy, I'm calling him, Tim.
00:14:56.32\00:14:57.73
Tiny Tim I was hoping.
00:14:57.76\00:15:00.10
Tim, what key is it in?
00:15:00.13\00:15:02.06
What key you wanted to be in?
00:15:02.10\00:15:04.80
It's written in A flat.
00:15:04.83\00:15:06.17
Oh, it's A flat.
00:15:06.20\00:15:07.54
Yeah.
00:15:07.57\00:15:09.07
I like it lower.
00:15:09.10\00:15:10.47
Let's take it
lower. Let's go lower.
00:15:10.51\00:15:12.71
There you go. Thank you.
00:15:12.74\00:15:14.11
Now you can sing along
with us, guys, come on.
00:15:14.14\00:15:16.04
And someday when
you have this hymnal,
00:15:16.08\00:15:17.75
we'll have hymn singing,
we'll just open the books
00:15:17.78\00:15:19.65
and just sing for
an hour, you know.
00:15:19.68\00:15:21.22
Sure.
00:15:21.25\00:15:22.58
So let me play the introduction.
00:15:22.62\00:15:23.95
O worship the king
00:15:28.56\00:15:32.16
All glorious above
00:15:32.19\00:15:35.73
O gratefully sing
00:15:35.76\00:15:39.23
His power and his love
00:15:39.27\00:15:42.70
Our shield and defender
00:15:42.74\00:15:46.04
The Ancient of days
00:15:46.07\00:15:49.64
Pavilioned in splendor
00:15:49.68\00:15:53.11
And girded with praise
00:15:53.15\00:15:57.55
Can we do the last verse?
00:15:57.59\00:15:58.92
That's a good one.
Yes. Let's do another one.
00:15:58.95\00:16:00.29
Frail children of
dust And feeble as frail
00:16:00.32\00:16:07.16
In You do we trust
00:16:07.20\00:16:10.77
Nor find You to fail
00:16:10.80\00:16:14.24
Your mercies how tender
00:16:14.27\00:16:17.54
How firm to the end
00:16:17.57\00:16:21.34
Our maker, defender
00:16:21.38\00:16:25.11
Redeemer and friend
00:16:25.15\00:16:31.52
Thank you so much. Amen.
00:16:31.55\00:16:33.46
Blessed to be
here to hear that hymn.
00:16:33.49\00:16:35.02
It's just wonderful. Thank you.
00:16:35.06\00:16:37.59
I'm really excited
about this song book,
00:16:37.63\00:16:40.36
and the hymns book, Yvonne.
00:16:40.40\00:16:42.33
And what I'm thinking,
maybe we could put an address,
00:16:42.36\00:16:44.87
put Dino's
address up on the screen
00:16:44.90\00:16:47.04
for those of you who
want to go to the website
00:16:47.07\00:16:49.20
and look at this.
00:16:49.24\00:16:50.57
I think it's something
that everybody would want.
00:16:50.61\00:16:52.01
In fact, it may be time
00:16:52.04\00:16:53.38
that you would
already have time to get it,
00:16:53.41\00:16:55.21
maybe give it to somebody...
00:16:55.24\00:16:56.58
Before Christmas. For Christmas.
00:16:56.61\00:16:57.95
And that's a great
thing to give, right?
00:16:57.98\00:16:59.38
Give something away
that's literally uplifting
00:16:59.41\00:17:02.28
the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ.
00:17:02.32\00:17:03.65
And, you know,
it looks Christmasy.
00:17:03.69\00:17:05.35
Put a nice gold bow around it,
00:17:05.39\00:17:07.62
give it to your
grandma or your children.
00:17:07.66\00:17:09.16
Absolutely. We love it.
00:17:09.19\00:17:11.23
Thank you for mentioning that.
00:17:11.26\00:17:12.66
Giving to the
children is a wonderful thing
00:17:12.69\00:17:14.60
because they don't
know about these hymns.
00:17:14.63\00:17:17.63
And there is the
devotional in there,
00:17:17.67\00:17:20.30
but also the
history, and there are CDs.
00:17:20.34\00:17:23.10
There are CDs.
00:17:23.14\00:17:24.47
So you get CDs of you
playing all of these songs?
00:17:24.51\00:17:26.27
Every one of the hymns, 101.
00:17:26.31\00:17:28.08
I mean, this is a
great, great gift.
00:17:28.11\00:17:29.84
So CDs of all the
songs, you got the devotionals
00:17:29.88\00:17:34.28
and about how the
songs were written.
00:17:34.32\00:17:36.05
That's wonderful.
00:17:36.08\00:17:37.52
And thank you, by
the way for giving us.
00:17:37.55\00:17:39.72
You're welcome, my pleasure.
00:17:39.75\00:17:41.09
Yvonne and I could share,
but we kind of got selfish
00:17:41.12\00:17:42.89
and said we'd each like
one just to have get you guys
00:17:42.92\00:17:45.83
to sign it of course, for sure.
00:17:45.86\00:17:48.06
You know, we
pray for our troops,
00:17:48.10\00:17:49.73
you know, that are overseas
and that God protects them,
00:17:49.76\00:17:53.37
you know, who are in
some really dangerous stuff
00:17:53.40\00:17:55.40
going on right now.
00:17:55.44\00:17:56.77
And wouldn't be nice to
have your son come happy
00:17:56.81\00:18:01.21
for Christmas.
00:18:01.24\00:18:02.58
Oh, yeah.
00:18:02.61\00:18:03.95
Play it. It's wonderful.
00:18:03.98\00:18:05.31
I dedicate this
to all the servicemen
00:18:07.52\00:18:09.42
and women.
00:18:09.45\00:18:10.79
I just wanted to
play that little bit
00:18:18.39\00:18:19.73
for those of us...
00:18:19.76\00:18:21.10
That's beautiful. What
a beautiful melody anyway.
00:18:21.13\00:18:22.70
Isn't it a
beautiful melody? Yes.
00:18:22.73\00:18:24.07
The words.
00:18:24.10\00:18:25.43
And I heard about World War
II how they, soldiers, you know,
00:18:25.47\00:18:27.64
this song was
really big because...
00:18:27.67\00:18:29.00
That's right, exactly.
00:18:29.04\00:18:30.37
They were hoping that
the family would be home,
00:18:30.41\00:18:32.31
you know, for the
Christmas season for sure.
00:18:32.34\00:18:34.74
I remember when I
was in the service,
00:18:34.78\00:18:36.21
I was looking forward to
coming home for Christmas.
00:18:36.24\00:18:38.55
And so it's
really an important time
00:18:38.58\00:18:41.32
to be with family.
00:18:41.35\00:18:42.92
Of course, we have to
have our servicemen there too,
00:18:42.95\00:18:45.15
you know, to protect us.
00:18:45.19\00:18:47.06
But anyway, we
love our military folk.
00:18:47.09\00:18:49.39
Yes. Absolutely.
00:18:49.42\00:18:50.76
Well, we have to
play a tribute to them,
00:18:50.79\00:18:52.13
you know, that we
appreciate you so much.
00:18:52.16\00:18:53.50
What we'd like to do is
take just a couple minutes
00:18:53.53\00:18:54.86
because for some of the folk
00:18:54.90\00:18:56.23
and I know most of our
audience I'm sure knows Dino,
00:18:56.26\00:18:59.53
they know Cheryl.
00:18:59.57\00:19:00.90
But tell us just a little
bit about your music career
00:19:00.94\00:19:04.51
how it started,
00:19:04.54\00:19:05.87
and we can do it in
just a couple minutes.
00:19:05.91\00:19:07.24
Give us the short version
00:19:07.28\00:19:08.61
'cause we want to
hear you play a lot more.
00:19:08.64\00:19:09.98
But tell us, you
know, how did you...
00:19:10.01\00:19:11.81
Why the gospel music?
00:19:11.85\00:19:13.35
You could play
anything you wanted to play,
00:19:13.38\00:19:14.88
and you could
be a so called Star
00:19:14.92\00:19:16.69
if you wanted to be,
which you choose to to say...
00:19:16.72\00:19:19.25
Right, serve God, yeah.
00:19:19.29\00:19:20.62
Play for the Lord. Why? Why?
00:19:20.66\00:19:21.99
Well, it all
started with a little toy
00:19:22.02\00:19:23.36
from the Salvation Army,
00:19:23.39\00:19:24.83
Okay, for Christmas.
00:19:24.86\00:19:27.40
You know, our family was poor.
00:19:27.43\00:19:29.50
They just came from Greece,
00:19:29.53\00:19:30.87
but we didn't know we were poor.
00:19:30.90\00:19:32.23
Okay.
00:19:32.27\00:19:33.60
You know, my parents,
00:19:33.64\00:19:34.97
you know, we didn't know that.
00:19:35.00\00:19:36.34
But not much money, but
we felt like we were fine.
00:19:36.37\00:19:40.14
But when I played for the...
00:19:40.18\00:19:41.51
I was about five years old
00:19:41.54\00:19:42.88
when I played
Salvation Army as a little kid,
00:19:42.91\00:19:45.11
and they paid me,
00:19:45.15\00:19:47.95
like 25 cents or something
00:19:47.98\00:19:49.95
because that was a big
deal for a little kid, right,
00:19:49.98\00:19:52.42
back then.
00:19:52.45\00:19:54.26
But that toy was a gift
that I'll never forget about,
00:19:54.29\00:19:57.96
and the Salvation Army people,
00:19:57.99\00:19:59.86
I'll always
appreciate them for that.
00:19:59.89\00:20:02.16
I love because I started
playing when I was three,
00:20:02.20\00:20:04.20
so back up a little bit.
00:20:04.23\00:20:05.57
And then of course, five, I
started taking piano lessons.
00:20:05.60\00:20:07.54
You know, every
young pianists play that.
00:20:10.04\00:20:12.71
And of course, I was
not reading the notes
00:20:12.74\00:20:15.14
because I played
everything by ear.
00:20:15.18\00:20:17.08
So the piano teacher
put the book out there,
00:20:17.11\00:20:18.85
and I'd stare at one space
as I was reading it, you know.
00:20:18.88\00:20:21.08
Okay.
00:20:21.12\00:20:22.45
Excuse me,
00:20:22.48\00:20:23.82
then I fooled her
for a couple of years,
00:20:23.85\00:20:25.69
I mean, it took a
two years to realize
00:20:25.72\00:20:27.52
that I was faking it, right?
00:20:27.56\00:20:30.06
Slow learner
would you say though.
00:20:30.09\00:20:32.49
So once she did, we...
00:20:32.53\00:20:34.60
The family got
together with me and said,
00:20:34.63\00:20:35.96
you know, Dino, God
has given this gift,
00:20:36.00\00:20:37.47
you know, I started
sharpening that ability.
00:20:37.50\00:20:39.40
And I always
encourage young people
00:20:39.43\00:20:42.04
to find out what that gift is,
00:20:42.07\00:20:44.07
you know, define
what that gift is
00:20:44.11\00:20:45.74
and then sharpen it,
00:20:45.77\00:20:47.48
you know, study it.
00:20:47.51\00:20:48.84
And of course, we are Christian.
00:20:48.88\00:20:50.31
I was a Christian.
00:20:50.35\00:20:51.68
I was very, very
young, and I wanted to...
00:20:51.71\00:20:53.31
I wanted to practice
because I wanted to be,
00:20:53.35\00:20:56.08
back then, I would say
the best pianist in the world,
00:20:56.12\00:20:58.12
you know, because
I was serving God,
00:20:58.15\00:21:00.66
and I wanted to give
the very best that I had.
00:21:00.69\00:21:03.26
But then of course, you know,
00:21:03.29\00:21:04.93
I accepted Christ,
was very young and my...
00:21:04.96\00:21:07.10
I studied piano in New York City
00:21:07.13\00:21:08.80
and did some
studies in Juilliard, and...
00:21:08.83\00:21:13.60
You finally had to pay
attention to the notes.
00:21:13.64\00:21:15.70
Yeah, that's how I picked it.
00:21:15.74\00:21:17.61
But the whole time
through all that education,
00:21:17.64\00:21:20.11
my focus, my purpose was
00:21:20.14\00:21:21.74
to serve God with the
gifts that He's given me.
00:21:21.78\00:21:24.61
And fast forward,
00:21:24.65\00:21:26.21
here we are on your network.
00:21:26.25\00:21:27.58
And that's
exactly what we're doing,
00:21:27.62\00:21:29.45
we're blessing
people. Praise the Lord.
00:21:29.48\00:21:31.42
And you've got a big
tour coming up this year.
00:21:31.45\00:21:33.36
Yeah, well. You
don't want to miss it.
00:21:33.39\00:21:34.86
And also I want to say that
00:21:34.89\00:21:36.56
there's maybe a little more time
00:21:36.59\00:21:38.13
before Christmas you guys
00:21:38.16\00:21:39.49
are doing
programs down at Branson.
00:21:39.53\00:21:41.36
Oh, yeah, Christmas show.
What's the name of the theater?
00:21:41.40\00:21:43.43
At the Shepherd of the
Hills' Playhouse Theatre.
00:21:43.47\00:21:46.13
Okay, Shepherd of the
Hills' Playhouse Theatre.
00:21:46.17\00:21:48.47
And that's on
what? Tuesday and...
00:21:48.50\00:21:50.27
Tuesdays,
Thursdays, and Saturdays.
00:21:50.31\00:21:52.07
Saturday, okay.
00:21:52.11\00:21:53.44
And they get
dinner with their ticket.
00:21:53.48\00:21:54.81
Oh, they get dinner.
00:21:54.84\00:21:56.18
Or lunch. Or lunch.
00:21:56.21\00:21:57.55
Ain't that great?
It's going to be great.
00:21:57.58\00:21:58.91
I'm hungry right now.
Can me and you go down?
00:21:58.95\00:22:00.28
Me too. I want to go.
00:22:00.32\00:22:01.98
I want to go.
You want to go too?
00:22:02.02\00:22:03.59
Yes, I do. Okay.
00:22:03.62\00:22:05.05
Well, you see that,
you can't say no to that.
00:22:05.09\00:22:07.66
Oh my goodness, no.
00:22:07.69\00:22:09.02
It's an intimate theater,
00:22:09.06\00:22:10.39
like it says,
dinner theater, and it's...
00:22:10.43\00:22:12.99
I have my Austrian
crystal piano there.
00:22:13.03\00:22:14.70
It's beautiful.
00:22:14.73\00:22:16.06
It's going to be
just a night to come
00:22:16.10\00:22:17.43
and just feel
good about yourself,
00:22:17.47\00:22:19.13
and I always end
00:22:19.17\00:22:20.90
with the true
meaning of Christmas.
00:22:20.94\00:22:22.57
Oh, that's great. What
Christmas is all about?
00:22:22.60\00:22:24.11
God sent His Son
to this earth to die
00:22:24.14\00:22:26.47
as I mentioned a
while ago, you know.
00:22:26.51\00:22:28.64
I came to be born in a manger,
00:22:28.68\00:22:30.08
then grew up to die
00:22:30.11\00:22:31.65
and then grew up to kind
of save this world, you know.
00:22:31.68\00:22:33.68
Great testimony.
00:22:33.72\00:22:35.05
Cheryl, little
bit, your background.
00:22:35.08\00:22:36.62
You grew up in a musical family,
00:22:36.65\00:22:38.15
of course your brother Gary,
he's sang with a vocal band
00:22:38.19\00:22:40.62
and sing around the world and...
00:22:40.66\00:22:41.99
The Gaither Trio, oh, yes.
00:22:42.02\00:22:43.36
So this time of
the year, Christmas,
00:22:43.39\00:22:44.73
did y'all get together?
00:22:44.76\00:22:46.09
Maybe you still
doing, sing a little bit?
00:22:46.13\00:22:47.46
Do you still get a
chance? Well, not too much.
00:22:47.50\00:22:48.83
My parents were known
as the singing pastors,
00:22:48.86\00:22:51.40
and they had a radio
program every morning
00:22:51.43\00:22:54.70
that was, excuse
my age, but pre-TV.
00:22:54.74\00:22:57.57
Okay.
00:22:57.61\00:22:58.94
And so we, Gary
and I sang harmony,
00:22:58.97\00:23:03.11
I get to do the
harmony with him.
00:23:03.14\00:23:05.65
And we sang on the radio.
00:23:05.68\00:23:07.78
And that's the beginning
of my wonderful career.
00:23:07.82\00:23:11.79
And then you
guys met how long ago?
00:23:11.82\00:23:14.16
A long time ago.
00:23:14.19\00:23:15.52
Oh, goodness, many,
many years back now.
00:23:15.56\00:23:17.03
A long time ago. I
was playing a concert.
00:23:17.06\00:23:18.56
I walked out, there were
Cheryl sitting out there,
00:23:18.59\00:23:20.53
and I said,
"Okay, thank you, Jesus."
00:23:20.56\00:23:23.77
That's what I did.
00:23:23.80\00:23:25.60
And we have two
wonderful daughters.
00:23:25.63\00:23:27.80
Oh!
00:23:27.84\00:23:29.17
Sheree and Christina.
00:23:29.20\00:23:30.87
And then we have
two granddaughters.
00:23:30.91\00:23:32.81
Oh, that's fun.
00:23:32.84\00:23:34.18
And then we have a
great granddaughter now.
00:23:34.21\00:23:35.94
Oh, you're not
old enough for that.
00:23:35.98\00:23:37.58
Now I'm not going for that.
00:23:37.61\00:23:40.55
Probably be okay.
00:23:40.58\00:23:41.95
You started young.
00:23:41.98\00:23:43.32
Yeah, ain't that wonderful?
00:23:43.35\00:23:44.69
Actually, yes.
00:23:44.72\00:23:46.05
You know, I would...
00:23:46.09\00:23:47.42
Yeah, our backgrounds
are very similar, right.
00:23:47.46\00:23:50.13
We have both raised in
a church and our parents.
00:23:50.16\00:23:53.90
My dad was a Christian at
the time when I was a child.
00:23:53.93\00:23:55.83
But of course, Cheryl's parents
were ministers, you know.
00:23:55.86\00:23:59.17
And so we first met, I mean,
00:23:59.20\00:24:02.14
we really related very well,
00:24:02.17\00:24:03.64
you know, sang the same music,
00:24:03.67\00:24:06.47
you know,
mansion over the hilltop
00:24:06.51\00:24:08.71
and all those songs
that we grew up with, right?
00:24:08.74\00:24:11.45
But ain't it
interesting that everyone,
00:24:11.48\00:24:14.08
I came from Southern
Illinois here kind of country,
00:24:14.12\00:24:16.15
you came from New York.
00:24:16.18\00:24:17.52
So this time of year,
00:24:17.55\00:24:19.55
how did you kind of
get into this spirit?
00:24:19.59\00:24:21.82
And did you do these
types of songs or your churches,
00:24:21.86\00:24:24.23
or did you go out
caroling, or what did you do?
00:24:24.26\00:24:27.10
We didn't go out caroling,
00:24:27.13\00:24:28.46
but we used to do a
lot of like the Messiah,
00:24:28.50\00:24:31.90
stuff like that at Church,
00:24:31.93\00:24:33.27
and I just, I grew up with that.
00:24:33.30\00:24:34.64
Your grandma had that.
00:24:34.67\00:24:36.00
My grandmother had
the new believers' choir,
00:24:36.04\00:24:38.57
Rosalie Jones.
00:24:38.61\00:24:39.94
A lot of folk will know her,
00:24:39.97\00:24:41.31
Yes, they will.
00:24:41.34\00:24:42.68
And she just...
00:24:42.71\00:24:44.15
She would do the
Messiah every year.
00:24:44.18\00:24:46.15
And so I grew up
playing it at home,
00:24:46.18\00:24:48.95
singing it in
Church and just loving it.
00:24:48.98\00:24:51.99
All around the world,
00:24:52.02\00:24:53.39
especially this time of
year that I always like to say
00:24:53.42\00:24:56.93
it's the only time here
you can go into stores and,
00:24:56.96\00:24:59.76
you know, businesses all
over and they're playing,
00:24:59.79\00:25:02.30
you know, music that's speaking
about the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:25:02.33\00:25:04.77
Isn't it wonderful? Yeah.
00:25:04.80\00:25:06.13
Let's take
advantage of that. Yeah.
00:25:06.17\00:25:07.70
We're not going to argue
00:25:07.74\00:25:09.07
that Christ was
born on December 25.
00:25:09.10\00:25:10.67
We know He wasn't.
00:25:10.71\00:25:12.04
But that's not the whole point.
00:25:12.07\00:25:13.41
The point is He was born.
00:25:13.44\00:25:14.78
And He did give us life
on the cross of Calvary.
00:25:14.81\00:25:17.35
And because of that
great plan of salvation,
00:25:17.38\00:25:20.72
you and me have the
hope of eternal life.
00:25:20.75\00:25:22.88
All we have to do
is accept Jesus Christ
00:25:22.92\00:25:25.45
as Lord and Savior of our life,
00:25:25.49\00:25:27.46
then go and tell
what He's done for us.
00:25:27.49\00:25:29.52
That's what
everybody should be a ye.
00:25:29.56\00:25:31.79
That's what I tell
folks, Go ye into all the world.
00:25:31.83\00:25:34.50
So Dino and Cheryl, you
are going to all the world.
00:25:34.53\00:25:37.37
And this year, this coming year
00:25:37.40\00:25:39.20
you're doing a lot of traveling.
00:25:39.23\00:25:42.10
And so we're
believing for you guys
00:25:42.14\00:25:44.44
are looking at a
bus, they need a bus
00:25:44.47\00:25:46.17
because they got
folks going with them
00:25:46.21\00:25:47.54
and there's beautiful bus.
00:25:47.58\00:25:48.91
Yes.
00:25:48.94\00:25:50.28
And we're believing with
you that you get that bus.
00:25:50.31\00:25:51.65
Thank you.
00:25:51.68\00:25:53.01
So maybe some of you
when you put the address
00:25:53.05\00:25:54.38
if you want to
tuck in little love gift
00:25:54.42\00:25:55.75
for these folks, to
help towards, they need it.
00:25:55.78\00:25:57.85
And they're travelling,
a lot of folk with them.
00:25:57.89\00:25:59.85
Yeah.
00:25:59.89\00:26:01.22
And they're going from
church to church to church.
00:26:01.26\00:26:02.59
In fact, if you are interested,
go to the website, say,
00:26:02.62\00:26:05.53
"Can you put me
on the schedule?"
00:26:05.56\00:26:07.16
We think that our people,
00:26:07.20\00:26:09.16
not only us old folk
00:26:09.20\00:26:10.53
but the young
people in the Church
00:26:10.57\00:26:11.90
need to get back
to the great hymns,
00:26:11.93\00:26:14.07
the pillars of the Church today.
00:26:14.10\00:26:16.67
And we include the choir and,
00:26:16.71\00:26:18.97
we just came off
a tour, you know,
00:26:19.01\00:26:21.24
and because you've
watched us last couple months,
00:26:21.28\00:26:24.55
and people are being saved.
00:26:24.58\00:26:27.42
I mean, it's a
revival, it's a hidden revival.
00:26:27.45\00:26:30.99
Yeah. And
that's the bottom line.
00:26:31.02\00:26:32.52
We want to see lives changed,
you know, by the power of God.
00:26:32.55\00:26:35.12
So we just got off that tour.
00:26:35.16\00:26:36.49
And we were in
a Winnebago. Yeah.
00:26:36.52\00:26:38.36
And my back right
now hurts because...
00:26:38.39\00:26:41.26
Yeah, you need a little bit,
00:26:41.30\00:26:42.63
something a little
bit more comfortable.
00:26:42.66\00:26:44.00
So I'm looking forward to
you. We got to provide it.
00:26:44.03\00:26:45.37
We are appreciative of that,
00:26:45.40\00:26:46.74
but we do need a
better vehicle to travel in.
00:26:46.77\00:26:50.21
So that maestro can rest.
00:26:50.24\00:26:53.31
That's right.
00:26:53.34\00:26:55.21
Get a little bit of rest.
00:26:55.24\00:26:56.58
All right, now, we're
now going to let him rest.
00:26:56.61\00:26:58.25
Maybe we should turn you loose
00:26:58.28\00:26:59.61
and just, play to your
little heart's content.
00:26:59.65\00:27:01.65
Well, I'll tell you what we do.
00:27:01.68\00:27:03.02
I'm going to play something
I haven't played in my show.
00:27:03.05\00:27:04.92
Of course, the
show is very productive,
00:27:04.95\00:27:06.82
productions, we
have a lot of lights,
00:27:06.86\00:27:08.36
and it's very, very pretty.
00:27:08.39\00:27:09.99
And after my first
number, which is a big number,
00:27:10.03\00:27:12.99
I just sit at
the piano, lights dim
00:27:13.03\00:27:14.83
or actually Christmas
trees come up slowly as I play.
00:27:14.86\00:27:18.37
I'm dreaming of
a white Christmas.
00:28:49.22\00:28:52.73
Sing along with us.
00:28:52.76\00:28:54.96
I'm dreaming
00:28:55.00\00:28:58.97
Of a white Christmas
00:28:59.00\00:29:06.11
Just like the ones
00:29:06.14\00:29:09.11
I used to know
00:29:09.14\00:29:14.82
Where the treetops glisten
00:29:14.85\00:29:20.69
And children listen
00:29:20.72\00:29:25.96
To hear
00:29:25.99\00:29:29.33
Sleigh bells in the snow
00:29:29.36\00:29:37.21
I'm dreaming
00:29:37.24\00:29:41.01
Of a white Christmas
00:29:41.04\00:29:48.38
With every Christmas card
00:29:48.42\00:29:52.69
I write
00:29:52.72\00:29:56.86
May your days be
00:29:56.89\00:30:00.90
Merry and bright
00:30:00.93\00:30:04.90
And may all your Christmases
00:30:09.54\00:30:17.05
Be white
00:30:17.08\00:30:22.68
It's wonderful.
00:30:42.77\00:30:44.41
It's great.
00:30:44.44\00:30:45.77
Merry Christmas. I love it.
00:30:45.81\00:30:47.68
Merry Christmas. I love it.
00:30:47.71\00:30:49.04
Yes, it just
puts you in that mood.
00:30:49.08\00:30:51.55
It does.
00:30:51.58\00:30:52.95
Some children see Him lily white
00:31:16.30\00:31:23.28
The baby Jesus born this night
00:31:23.31\00:31:29.72
Some children see Him lily white
00:31:29.75\00:31:36.62
With tresses soft and fair
00:31:36.66\00:31:43.26
Some children see
Him bronzed and brown
00:31:43.30\00:31:49.97
The Lord of
heav'n to earth come down
00:31:50.01\00:31:56.85
Some children see
Him bronzed and brown
00:31:56.88\00:32:04.25
With dark and heavy hair
00:32:04.29\00:32:11.13
Some children
see Him almond-eyed
00:32:22.97\00:32:30.21
This Savior whom we kneel beside
00:32:30.25\00:32:36.58
Some children
see Him almond-eyed
00:32:36.62\00:32:43.29
With skin of yellow hue
00:32:43.32\00:32:49.83
Some children
see Him dark as they
00:32:49.86\00:32:56.60
Sweet Mary's Son to whom we pray
00:32:56.64\00:33:03.65
Some children
see him dark as they
00:33:03.68\00:33:10.92
And, oh they love Him too
00:33:10.95\00:33:17.93
The children in
each different place
00:33:17.96\00:33:25.87
Will see the baby Jesus' face
00:33:25.90\00:33:32.61
Like theirs, but
bright, with heavenly grace
00:33:32.64\00:33:40.05
And filled with holy light
00:33:40.08\00:33:46.82
Oh lay aside each earthly thing
00:33:46.86\00:33:53.70
And with thy heart as offering
00:33:53.73\00:33:59.70
Come worship now the infant King
00:34:03.27\00:34:11.25
'Tis love that's born tonight
00:34:11.28\00:34:16.65
'Tis love
00:34:20.26\00:34:25.59
That's born tonight
00:34:25.63\00:34:32.67
Oh, how I love Him
00:40:25.69\00:40:28.02
down from His glory,
one of my favorite songs,
00:40:28.06\00:40:31.16
especially during
the Christmas season
00:40:31.19\00:40:32.89
to know that God
sent His Son to this earth
00:40:32.93\00:40:34.56
from the glory to this
earth be born in a manger.
00:40:34.60\00:40:39.80
What a pleasure
it is to sit here
00:40:39.83\00:40:41.54
at the piano of
this wonderful setting.
00:40:41.57\00:40:44.57
I used to play the songs
00:40:44.61\00:40:45.94
that we sing during
this Christmas season.
00:40:45.97\00:40:49.58
It's a real pretty carol.
00:40:49.61\00:40:52.71
"Silent Night."
00:41:40.20\00:41:42.00
Sing it with me if you want.
00:41:45.77\00:41:47.17
One of the favorites.
00:44:16.12\00:44:17.45
"O Holy Night."
00:44:17.49\00:44:19.95
This is the time of the year
00:44:19.99\00:44:21.32
that we should be celebrating
the birthday of Jesus.
00:44:21.36\00:44:23.96
I know gifts are great.
00:44:23.99\00:44:25.33
It's wonderful
to exchange gifts.
00:44:25.36\00:44:27.00
I like presents for
sure. But that's fine.
00:44:27.03\00:44:30.43
In hustle and
bustle of the season,
00:44:30.47\00:44:32.23
you go shopping and
thinking about family,
00:44:32.27\00:44:35.00
and that's all wonderful.
00:44:35.04\00:44:36.37
Please don't forget
whose birthday this is.
00:44:36.40\00:44:42.34
It's the birthday of Jesus.
00:44:42.38\00:44:47.55
Jesus, isn't it wonderful
00:44:47.58\00:44:49.25
that we're living
Christ in Christmas?
00:44:49.28\00:44:51.82
Oh, yeah, of course.
00:44:51.85\00:44:53.86
That's what it's all about.
00:44:53.89\00:44:56.86
It's the birthday of Christ.
00:44:56.89\00:44:58.69
Let me play something now.
00:44:58.73\00:45:02.13
It's on one of my
albums, like Christmas albums,
00:45:02.16\00:45:06.63
as quite appropriate for today,
00:45:06.67\00:45:08.17
what's going on with this world.
00:45:08.20\00:45:11.27
Let it be peace on earth.
00:45:11.31\00:45:14.51
And let it begin in you and me.
00:45:14.54\00:45:17.88
And let it begin in me.
00:48:55.16\00:48:57.13
Father, we thank
you for the peace
00:48:57.17\00:48:59.97
that you give in our hearts,
00:49:00.00\00:49:01.90
that we receive you
as our personal Savior,
00:49:01.94\00:49:04.14
even through
the difficult times.
00:49:04.17\00:49:06.54
Whatever one
may be going through
00:49:06.57\00:49:08.04
right now this very moment,
00:49:08.08\00:49:10.08
during this Christmas
season, give them peace,
00:49:10.11\00:49:14.02
knowing that everything
is being taken care of.
00:49:14.05\00:49:17.59
Father, you are
the Prince of peace,
00:49:17.62\00:49:19.42
Prince of peace and our God.
00:49:19.45\00:49:23.53
We love you so much.
00:49:23.56\00:49:25.29
And we thank you
for all the gifts
00:49:25.33\00:49:26.66
that you've given us.
00:49:26.70\00:49:28.03
The greatest gift is the gift
00:49:28.06\00:49:31.70
of sweet Jesus.
00:49:31.73\00:49:35.04
The gift of
eternal life, someday,
00:49:35.07\00:49:37.11
but we receive you
as our personal Savior.
00:49:37.14\00:49:42.01
Let there be peace on
earth and let it begin in me.
00:49:42.04\00:49:44.51
What a wonderful opportunity
that God has given me
00:49:44.55\00:49:46.65
to be able to sit here at
this wonderful station 3ABN
00:49:46.68\00:49:50.25
and just sit here and just play.
00:49:50.29\00:49:52.59
That's all, as well
like I'm in your living room.
00:49:52.62\00:49:54.96
This could be your
living room. This is beautiful.
00:49:54.99\00:49:58.49
Hope we'll bring a
little warmth in your life.
00:49:58.53\00:50:01.43
And if you're there all
alone sitting in your house,
00:50:01.46\00:50:04.07
and you have no one
around you, I want you to know
00:50:04.10\00:50:05.80
that we love you
here at this ministry.
00:50:05.83\00:50:08.60
We love you so much.
00:50:08.64\00:50:10.21
And we always
love to take the time
00:50:10.24\00:50:12.14
to sit here and play and sing
00:50:12.17\00:50:14.01
and just give
joys, joy and happiness,
00:50:14.04\00:50:16.88
bring joy and
happiness into your lives.
00:50:16.91\00:50:18.41
But I really do
love doing this more,
00:50:18.45\00:50:20.02
more than anything else.
00:50:20.05\00:50:21.38
Someone asked me
today, "After all these years,
00:50:21.42\00:50:23.95
you still love
playing the piano."
00:50:23.99\00:50:25.49
Absolutely.
00:50:25.52\00:50:26.86
I started playing
when I was three years old.
00:50:26.89\00:50:28.22
I'm still playing
it right now, I'm 24.
00:50:28.26\00:50:31.06
I'm only kidding, no.
00:50:31.09\00:50:33.63
I've been around a
long time. I really have.
00:50:33.66\00:50:36.36
And it's a pleasure to be able
to play throughout the world.
00:50:36.40\00:50:41.10
You know, what's great
about what I do at the piano?
00:50:41.14\00:50:43.61
Do you know that I can go
to any country in this world
00:50:43.64\00:50:47.04
and play it in any language?
00:50:47.08\00:50:50.28
You get it?
00:50:50.31\00:50:52.45
Some of you get it later, right?
00:50:52.48\00:50:54.02
I can play in Chinese,
00:50:54.05\00:50:55.38
I can play in
Russian, I can play in...
00:50:55.42\00:50:56.89
Listen, we've been
to all these countries,
00:50:56.92\00:50:59.02
no matter where
I go, and I play,
00:50:59.05\00:51:00.86
it communicates the
love, the peace, the joy
00:51:00.89\00:51:03.56
that Jesus Christ could give.
00:51:03.59\00:51:05.49
Specially during this
Christmas season, specially.
00:51:05.53\00:51:10.60
That's wonderful.
00:51:10.63\00:51:12.13
I want to play
you something that,
00:51:12.17\00:51:14.37
as a lot of you know,
Cheryl, my wife and I,
00:51:14.40\00:51:17.51
we perform it in
Branson, Missouri,
00:51:17.54\00:51:19.57
and we've done that for years.
00:51:19.61\00:51:21.01
And I know a lot of
you probably have come
00:51:21.04\00:51:22.38
to see our show.
00:51:22.41\00:51:23.75
And especially this year,
00:51:23.78\00:51:25.11
we're very excited to
be at Shepherd of the hills
00:51:25.15\00:51:26.78
as was spoken a while ago.
00:51:26.82\00:51:28.58
And for the Danny had
mentioned about our show,
00:51:28.62\00:51:32.85
and that we welcome you,
00:51:32.89\00:51:34.72
whenever you come to
Branson, please come to see us
00:51:34.76\00:51:37.33
because we'd love to
have you in our theater.
00:51:37.36\00:51:39.29
And also do you know
that that I love to bake,
00:51:39.33\00:51:43.67
and I know how to make
00:51:43.70\00:51:45.03
the best carrot
cake in the world.
00:51:45.07\00:51:46.40
Am I bragging or what?
00:51:46.43\00:51:48.24
But you know
what, I love to bake,
00:51:48.27\00:51:50.21
and we've got
the best carrot cake.
00:51:50.24\00:51:51.71
And in fact,
00:51:51.74\00:51:53.31
we have a store in Branson,
Missouri on Main Street,
00:51:53.34\00:51:56.01
it's called 24 Karrot Cake cafe.
00:51:56.04\00:52:00.72
Now if you are in Branson,
00:52:00.75\00:52:02.08
I want you to come see our show,
00:52:02.12\00:52:03.45
you got to come
see us at the café.
00:52:03.49\00:52:04.89
And who knows, I may be there,
00:52:04.92\00:52:06.25
we'll sit down, have a
cup of tea or whatever,
00:52:06.29\00:52:09.32
whatever you Geritol,
whatever you guys like,
00:52:09.36\00:52:13.29
and we'll have a slice of cake
00:52:13.33\00:52:15.03
and just enjoy the
fellowship together.
00:52:15.06\00:52:16.73
I'd love doing
that. I really do.
00:52:16.77\00:52:18.40
That's why I love the café.
00:52:18.43\00:52:21.10
And the 24 Karrot Cake,
00:52:21.14\00:52:22.64
I think will
really bless your heart,
00:52:22.67\00:52:24.57
and your tummy at
the same time for sure.
00:52:24.61\00:52:27.21
I want to play
something right now
00:52:27.24\00:52:28.58
that is very powerful.
00:52:28.61\00:52:30.05
It's a Christmas song
that you don't hear too often
00:52:30.08\00:52:32.91
in Christmas season.
00:52:32.95\00:52:34.28
It goes way back, way back.
00:52:34.32\00:52:36.32
And I think
this is my hymn book.
00:52:36.35\00:52:37.95
But this is titled,
00:52:37.99\00:52:42.52
"The Birthday of the King."
00:52:42.56\00:52:46.43
And it goes like this.
00:52:46.46\00:52:47.83
"Birthday of the King."
00:56:38.29\00:56:39.76
Hallelujah!
00:56:39.79\00:56:41.30
Praise God.
00:56:41.33\00:56:42.66
Oh, this has been wonderful
to be with you, to play at all.
00:56:42.70\00:56:46.50
I thank brother Danny.
00:56:46.53\00:56:49.87
I call him Danny
00:56:49.90\00:56:51.24
because he's such a good friend,
00:56:51.27\00:56:52.61
and Yvonne and ET
and all the folks,
00:56:52.64\00:56:54.38
all these guys that
are handling the cameras
00:56:54.41\00:56:56.54
and back in the control room.
00:56:56.58\00:56:58.88
Boy, what a wonderful
team to have around you,
00:56:58.91\00:57:01.12
especially to do a
Christmas special like this.
00:57:01.15\00:57:03.89
We hope you
enjoyed this so much.
00:57:03.92\00:57:06.22
And we pray that you
have the best Christmas
00:57:06.25\00:57:08.29
you've ever had this year.
00:57:08.32\00:57:11.26
And I pray that that son
or daughter, or grandchild
00:57:11.29\00:57:13.73
will come around you
00:57:13.76\00:57:15.10
or those who haven't
seen you for a long time,
00:57:15.13\00:57:17.20
this would be the time
of the year to come together
00:57:17.23\00:57:19.90
and just celebrate
00:57:19.93\00:57:24.41
the birthday of Jesus.
00:57:24.44\00:57:27.48
Because that's what
Christmas is all about.
00:57:27.51\00:57:33.25
Thank you, Lord.
00:57:33.28\00:57:34.62
Thank for each and every
person that's been watching.
00:57:34.65\00:57:36.85
Bless them.
00:57:36.89\00:57:38.22
Give them the gifts
that they were required
00:57:38.25\00:57:40.72
in their lives right now.
00:57:40.76\00:57:42.59
And we're here to continue
to bless you and praise you
00:57:42.62\00:57:45.13
and give you all the
honor and all the glory
00:57:45.16\00:57:47.00
for what you have done,
00:57:47.03\00:57:50.10
in our lives, in families.
00:57:50.13\00:57:52.83
