Bill Gaither on success
Bill Gaither on what it takes to become a successful Christian artist:
I think he has to understand feet washing…a real follower of Christ gets down on his hands and knees and washes the other person’s feet…I think that’s the beginning…
Not all (young artists) understand that…kinda hard to understand that when the lights on the stage are shining pretty bright…
Jake Hess used to say that when the lights on the stage are shining brighter than the lights at home, you better go home…
He also has interesting comments on the sacred and the secular in songwriting and what are the most requested Gaither-penned songs.
The interviews starts at 3:53 into the podcast here (stay tuned for the quartet practice backstage at the National Quartet Convention at the end – it’s priceless).
