You Have To Make A Decided Effort

Before I Get Out Of Bed, I Am Saying Thank You. I Know How Important It Is To Be Thankful.

I Kind Of Knew Something Was Going On, And My Older Brothers And Sisters Were Singing Be-boppish Kinds Of Stuff In The Living Room, And I Was Listening. I Started Singing, Warmer Than A Summer Night, At Seven Or Eight Years Old.

These Songs Are Old Friends I Have Entertained Myself With When I'm Washing The Dishes, Driving To The Store And Walking Down The Aisles. The Ones That You Sing When You're Driving In The Car And As A Singer You Always Go Back To Them.

I Did A Concert At Five Years Old In The Garden Of One Of The Church Members, And We Raised Some Money To Buy A New Piano In Our Little Church.

Every Day Is Thanksgiving.on This Stage You're Going To Hear God And None Of Them Other Words, And I Ain't Going To Touch My Stuff.
