Hi and welcome back.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
Through the
years, I've come across
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
several musicians
that have inspired me
00:00:04.10\00:00:05.43
and encouraged me to be better.
00:00:05.47\00:00:07.47
And I have a friend on the line
that is just one of those guys.
00:00:07.50\00:00:11.31
His name is Josh Singletary.
00:00:11.34\00:00:12.67
He plays the piano.
00:00:12.71\00:00:14.04
A wonderful, creative musician,
00:00:14.08\00:00:16.08
and I want to talk to him
about what music means to him.
00:00:16.11\00:00:18.38
So let's go see.
00:00:18.41\00:00:19.75
Josh, are you there?
00:00:19.78\00:00:21.12
I am here.
00:00:21.15\00:00:22.48
Hi, how are you, Tim?
00:00:22.52\00:00:23.85
It's great to see
you. I'm doing wonderful.
00:00:23.89\00:00:25.29
How are you doing
today? You see, I'm doing well.
00:00:25.32\00:00:27.12
Those are very
kind words you said.
00:00:27.16\00:00:28.69
Well, good. Thank you so much.
00:00:28.72\00:00:30.06
Good. I want to talk to you.
00:00:30.09\00:00:31.63
In fact, about how...
00:00:31.66\00:00:32.99
What does music mean to you?
00:00:33.03\00:00:35.16
Oh, man, you know what?
00:00:35.20\00:00:37.50
I have grown to learn
00:00:37.53\00:00:39.47
that sometimes
there is no better way
00:00:39.50\00:00:42.10
to get a message across.
00:00:42.14\00:00:43.64
Now that does not
null in fact speaking
00:00:43.67\00:00:47.14
or any messages that
are given by spoken word,
00:00:47.18\00:00:51.18
but there's sometimes
there is no better way
00:00:51.21\00:00:53.82
to get a message
across than through a song.
00:00:53.85\00:00:56.28
And I feel such
great responsibility
00:00:56.32\00:00:59.65
when it comes
to music in my life
00:00:59.69\00:01:01.22
to be sure that
that actually happens.
00:01:01.26\00:01:02.59
Right.
00:01:02.62\00:01:03.96
And in fact, you
have that ability
00:01:03.99\00:01:05.33
and that
opportunity, the platform,
00:01:05.36\00:01:07.40
because you
travel with a quartet,
00:01:07.43\00:01:09.53
southern gospel
quartet called Tribute Quartet.
00:01:09.56\00:01:11.23
Absolutely, yeah, I do.
00:01:11.27\00:01:12.93
You sing baritone,
you play the piano,
00:01:12.97\00:01:15.34
so music is
literally a part of your life.
00:01:15.37\00:01:18.31
It puts food on your table.
00:01:18.34\00:01:20.18
Boy, it does. Yes. It's true.
00:01:20.21\00:01:21.78
So that's awesome.
00:01:21.81\00:01:23.14
And have you been playing piano?
00:01:23.18\00:01:25.55
Playing
professionally for 16 years,
00:01:25.58\00:01:28.42
but playing piano all together,
00:01:28.45\00:01:29.82
I've been playing since
I was five, so 32 years.
00:01:29.85\00:01:32.55
Awesome. That's great.
00:01:32.59\00:01:34.22
So it is really part of you.
00:01:34.26\00:01:36.19
And if you're like me, I
would be lost without music,
00:01:36.22\00:01:39.39
and you're right, it
conveys the message sometimes
00:01:39.43\00:01:41.96
when nothing
else will get across.
00:01:42.00\00:01:43.87
Absolutely.
00:01:43.90\00:01:45.23
So I want to know also about
00:01:45.27\00:01:47.64
what you're doing
currently other than...
00:01:47.67\00:01:49.40
Are you doing anything
besides music in the quartet?
00:01:49.44\00:01:54.21
Well, I'm doing a
little bit of producing.
00:01:54.24\00:01:56.91
I've been doing a little
bit with Daywind Records,
00:01:56.95\00:02:00.08
our record company and
doing some producing there
00:02:00.12\00:02:02.92
as well as I have a
brand new piano CD out.
00:02:02.95\00:02:08.02
Right.
00:02:08.06\00:02:10.03
That is new. That is new.
00:02:10.06\00:02:11.93
Great.
00:02:11.96\00:02:13.29
So, yeah, very excited.
00:02:13.33\00:02:14.66
Well, where can people find you?
00:02:14.70\00:02:16.03
They can find me
at tributequartet.com.
00:02:16.06\00:02:18.93
They can also
find me on Facebook,
00:02:18.97\00:02:21.44
Josh Singletary

Anything can be found

00:02:25.51\00:02:28.14

00:02:28.18\00:02:29.74
All right. Well, great.
00:02:29.78\00:02:31.11
Well, I'm going to interview you
00:02:31.15\00:02:32.48
at some length
later on, but right now,
00:02:32.51\00:02:35.02
I just want to
grab a quick song,
00:02:35.05\00:02:36.89
something maybe a favorite,
something you grew up singing,
00:02:36.92\00:02:39.32
or that you have heard that
always brings a bell to you.
00:02:39.35\00:02:42.22
Oh, yeah.
00:02:42.26\00:02:43.59
Let's do... Let's do...
00:02:43.63\00:02:45.79
I love the song I
Stand Amazed in the Presence.
00:02:45.83\00:02:48.60
Oh, yeah, that's a great one.
00:02:48.63\00:02:50.70
How wonderful. Yes.
00:02:50.73\00:02:52.07
I love that one.
00:02:52.10\00:02:53.44
Well, I know you sing baritone,
00:02:53.47\00:02:55.10
so I think we'll put it
down in the key of F, all right?
00:02:55.14\00:02:58.47
I stand amazed in the presence
00:03:04.01\00:03:08.08
Of Jesus the Nazarene
00:03:08.12\00:03:12.92
And wonder how He could love me
00:03:12.95\00:03:17.43
A sinner, condemned, unclean
00:03:17.46\00:03:21.36
Oh, yes.
00:03:21.40\00:03:22.73
How marvelous!
00:03:22.76\00:03:24.70
How wonderful!
00:03:24.73\00:03:27.14
And my song shall ever be
00:03:27.17\00:03:31.61
How marvelous!
00:03:31.64\00:03:34.01
How wonderful!
00:03:34.04\00:03:36.48
Is my Savior's love for me!
00:03:36.51\00:03:42.32
He took my sins and my sorrows
00:03:42.35\00:03:46.72
He made them His very own
00:03:46.76\00:03:51.16
He bore the burden to Calvary
00:03:51.19\00:03:55.86
And suffered and died alone
00:03:55.90\00:04:00.70
When with the ransomed in glory
00:04:00.74\00:04:05.54
His face I at last shall see
00:04:05.57\00:04:09.74
'Twill be my
joy through the ages
00:04:09.78\00:04:14.75
To sing of His love for me
00:04:14.78\00:04:19.22
I'll sing How marvelous!
00:04:19.25\00:04:22.29
How wonderful!
00:04:22.32\00:04:24.63
And my song shall ever be
00:04:24.66\00:04:29.13
How marvelous!
00:04:29.16\00:04:31.47
How wonderful!
00:04:31.50\00:04:33.87
Is my Savior's love for me!
00:04:33.90\00:04:39.94
Oh, yes.
00:04:43.55\00:04:44.88
Oh, wonderful.
00:04:44.91\00:04:46.58
Josh, thank you very much.
00:04:46.61\00:04:47.95
It's great to see
you. God bless you.
00:04:47.98\00:04:49.48
It's good to see
you too, my friend.
00:04:49.52\00:04:50.99
God bless you as well.
00:04:51.02\00:04:53.12
I received a precious
email with nine requests
00:04:53.15\00:04:56.02
from Nancy in
Hartland, Wisconsin,
00:04:56.06\00:04:58.66
telling of a life of struggles
and eventual victory in Christ.
00:04:58.69\00:05:02.66
Here's a great
John W. Peterson tune
00:05:02.70\00:05:05.13
from the 40s
that Nancy requested.
00:05:05.17\00:05:07.67
It Took a Miracle.
00:05:07.70\00:05:09.04
My Father is omnipotent
00:05:16.14\00:05:20.65
And that you can't deny
00:05:20.68\00:05:24.59
A God of might and miracles
00:05:24.62\00:05:28.96
'Tis written in the sky
00:05:28.99\00:05:34.66
It took a miracle
00:05:34.70\00:05:40.30
To put the stars in place
00:05:40.34\00:05:44.41
It took a miracle
00:05:44.44\00:05:47.88
To hang the world in space
00:05:47.91\00:05:51.91
But when He saved my soul
00:05:51.95\00:05:56.99
Cleansed and made me whole
00:05:57.02\00:06:02.76
It took a miracle
00:06:02.79\00:06:05.96
Of love and grace
00:06:05.99\00:06:10.67
Sing this verse with me.
00:06:32.92\00:06:34.66
The Bible tells us of His power
00:06:34.69\00:06:39.39
And wisdom all way through
00:06:39.43\00:06:43.53
And every little bird and flower
00:06:43.57\00:06:47.84
Are testimonies too
00:06:47.87\00:06:54.14
Though here
00:06:54.18\00:06:55.51
His glory has been shown
00:06:55.54\00:06:58.68
We still can't fully see
00:06:58.71\00:07:02.58
The wonders of His might
00:07:02.62\00:07:05.92
His throne, will take eternity
00:07:05.95\00:07:12.99
It took a miracle
00:07:13.03\00:07:18.30
To put the stars in place
00:07:18.33\00:07:22.44
It took a miracle
00:07:22.47\00:07:26.47
To hang the world in space
00:07:26.51\00:07:30.58
But when He saved my soul
00:07:30.61\00:07:35.78
Cleansed and made me whole
00:07:35.82\00:07:41.69
It took a miracle
00:07:41.72\00:07:45.19
Of love and grace
00:07:45.23\00:07:51.60
I just want to sing
that chorus one more time.
00:07:57.87\00:08:01.88
Let's sing it together.
00:08:01.91\00:08:04.31
It took a miracle
00:08:04.35\00:08:09.12
To put the stars in place
00:08:09.15\00:08:12.85
It took a miracle
00:08:12.89\00:08:16.36
To hang the world in space
00:08:16.39\00:08:20.26
But when He saved my soul
00:08:20.30\00:08:25.30
Cleansed and made me whole
00:08:25.33\00:08:31.64
It took a miracle
00:08:31.67\00:08:34.74
Of love and grace
00:08:34.78\00:08:42.45
What a
beautiful, beautiful song.
00:08:47.86\00:08:50.73
In John 13:34
and 35, Jesus said,
00:08:50.76\00:08:55.16
"A new commandment I give you,
00:08:55.20\00:08:57.07
that you love one
another as I have loved you,
00:08:57.10\00:09:00.10
that you also love one another.
00:09:00.14\00:09:02.27
By this, all will know
that you are My disciples
00:09:02.30\00:09:04.87
if you have love
one for another."
00:09:04.91\00:09:07.31
This song goes out to Shirley
00:09:07.34\00:09:09.28
and serves as a great reminder
of our common bond in Christ.
00:09:09.31\00:09:13.21
They Will Know We are
Christians by Our Love.
00:09:13.25\00:09:16.18
We are one in the Spirit
00:09:27.30\00:09:30.40
We are one in the Lord
00:09:30.43\00:09:33.23
We are one in the Spirit
00:09:33.27\00:09:36.27
We are one in the Lord
00:09:36.30\00:09:39.11
And we pray that our unity
00:09:39.14\00:09:42.68
May one day be restored
00:09:42.71\00:09:45.18
And they'll know
we are Christians
00:09:45.21\00:09:48.22
By our love, by our love
00:09:48.25\00:09:51.55
They will know we are Christians
00:09:51.59\00:09:54.59
By our love
00:09:54.62\00:09:57.43
We will work with each other
00:10:00.56\00:10:03.43
We will work side by side
00:10:03.47\00:10:06.33
We will work with each other
00:10:06.37\00:10:09.17
We will work side by side
00:10:09.20\00:10:12.14
And we'll guard
each one's dignity
00:10:12.17\00:10:15.41
And save each one's pride
00:10:15.44\00:10:18.08
And they'll know
we are Christians
00:10:18.11\00:10:21.12
By our love, by our love
00:10:21.15\00:10:24.15
They will know we are Christians
00:10:24.19\00:10:27.46
By our love
00:10:27.49\00:10:30.46
I don't play many
songs in the minor key,
00:11:13.17\00:11:15.24
so that was an interesting song,
00:11:15.27\00:11:17.64
but a great song, great message.
00:11:17.67\00:11:19.64
And here's
another great message.
00:11:19.67\00:11:21.01
It's actually a prayer
in a song, Jesus use Me.
00:11:21.04\00:11:24.05
Dear Lord, I'll be a witness
00:11:33.46\00:11:37.66
If You will help my weakness
00:11:37.69\00:11:41.66
I know that I'm not worthy
00:11:41.70\00:11:45.63
Lord, of You
00:11:45.67\00:11:50.31
By eyes of faith I see Thee
00:11:50.34\00:11:54.94
Upon the cross of Cal-v'ry
00:11:54.98\00:11:58.98
Dear Lord, I cry
00:11:59.01\00:12:01.12
Let me Thy servant be
00:12:01.15\00:12:07.19
O, Jesus, use me
00:12:07.22\00:12:12.29
O Lord, don't refuse me
00:12:12.33\00:12:16.50
Surely there's a work
00:12:16.53\00:12:19.53
That I can do
00:12:19.57\00:12:24.41
And even tho' it's humble
00:12:24.44\00:12:28.81
Lord, help my will to crumble
00:12:28.84\00:12:33.58
Tho' the cost be great
00:12:33.62\00:12:36.48
I'll work for You
00:12:36.52\00:12:41.42
He's the Lily of the valley
00:12:41.46\00:12:46.03
The Bright and Morning Star
00:12:46.06\00:12:49.83
He's the Fairest of ten thousand
00:12:49.86\00:12:54.04
To my soul
00:12:54.07\00:12:58.57
The beautiful Rose of Sharon
00:12:58.61\00:13:02.81
He's all the world to me
00:13:02.84\00:13:07.22
But best of all
00:13:07.25\00:13:09.25
He is my coming King
00:13:09.28\00:13:16.06
So Jesus, use me
00:13:16.09\00:13:20.76
O Lord, don't refuse me
00:13:20.80\00:13:25.27
Surely there's a
work that I can do
00:13:25.30\00:13:33.01
And even tho' it's humble
00:13:33.04\00:13:37.25
Lord, help my will to crumble
00:13:37.28\00:13:42.05
Tho' the cost be great
00:13:42.08\00:13:44.99
I'll work for You
00:13:45.02\00:13:51.23
Tho' the cost be great
00:13:51.26\00:13:54.03
I'll work for You
00:13:54.06\00:14:01.50
That's a sweet prayer song.
00:14:01.54\00:14:03.87
And I'm going to
grab the hymnal over here.
00:14:03.91\00:14:05.87
Many of you asked
about these hymnals,
00:14:05.91\00:14:07.94
and this one is the
Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal.
00:14:07.98\00:14:10.75
I have a different
selection over here,
00:14:10.78\00:14:13.05
but we're going to
open this book and see,
00:14:13.08\00:14:15.02
just grab one song.
00:14:15.05\00:14:18.02
This one here, For
the Beauty of the Earth.
00:14:18.05\00:14:21.09
Let's see if I know this one.
00:14:21.12\00:14:22.86
And if you know it, sing along.
00:14:22.89\00:14:24.66
Sing with me for
the joy of human love.
00:14:58.19\00:15:01.33
For the joy of human love
00:15:01.36\00:15:06.00
Brother, sister, parent, child
00:15:06.03\00:15:10.91
Friends on earth
and friends above
00:15:10.94\00:15:15.88
For all gentle thoughts and mild
00:15:15.91\00:15:20.65
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
00:15:20.68\00:15:25.45
This our hymn of grateful praise
00:15:25.49\00:15:32.49
Sing for the gift.
00:15:32.53\00:15:33.90
This is good.
00:16:03.56\00:16:04.89
I sing praises to Your Name
00:16:04.93\00:16:08.93
Oh Lord Praises to Your Name
00:16:08.96\00:16:13.90
Oh Lord For Your Name is great
00:16:13.94\00:16:19.61

Oh Lord For Your Name is great
00:16:34.89\00:16:40.30
And greatly
00:16:40.33\00:16:42.10
To be praised
00:16:42.13\00:16:48.90
That's the thing
I love about music.
00:17:00.08\00:17:02.02
It speaks to us, and
it worships the Lord.
00:17:02.05\00:17:05.25
And I encourage you
00:17:05.29\00:17:06.62
as you're going
through your days,
00:17:06.65\00:17:08.42
life gets hard and frustrating,
00:17:08.46\00:17:11.19
but there's
always time for a song.
00:17:11.23\00:17:13.26
And I encourage you
to send me your request.
00:17:13.29\00:17:16.26

and I love to play these songs.
