Bill Gaither LIVE with special guest Sandi Patty on May 13, 2020

during this pandemic that you think of songs that might be helpful during this time artists are used to singing to people now that's the part where I guess you call is a performance from our perspective but when it really happens is when the audience connects with what the artists are doing on the stage you're on the platform and when you're not there trust me it is simply not the same so a lot of us who have spent a lot of time I think doing it artful songs soulful songs that's only 50% of it the other 50% is when you feedback to us but a few years ago we did a concert with this fine lady that we're going to talk to and after the concert was over the auditorium was bare just the light in the middle of the stage stage light and we said the stage is bare the crowd has gone courseware writers okay why are you gonna do when you feel something like that so I called Sandy the other day and they said sandy would you be interested in talking about that night so we're gonna hear from sandy now sandy it's good to have you hi Bill hey thank you so much for having me on your show like seriously I've known you for so long but in some ways I think you are living your best life right now you're getting to stay home which all of us introvert artists really crave and yet you're getting talk to your friends all day long so come on with that I love that so much well you and Don have been through something that we don't know anything about you have both had the virus how are you doing thank you for asking how we're feeling Don and I both had cope at 19 I was tested positive on March the 17th they didn't have it just feels so weird it feels like back in the day four weeks ago you know what I'm saying it feels so weird to say that baby have enough tests so I was tested they said whatever my test went they were gonna assume Donn's was the same so and we both had all the symptoms fever aches just it just really laid his flat I don't have a dry cough for a long time I had it felt like somebody was taking their elbow and literally just jamming it into my sternum and wouldn't let up for a good six days and honestly there was about 1/2 of an afternoon that Don said baby I think you need to go to the hospital and I said well let's give it another hour and he said well I am I am watching you like a hawk and he was and you know I was able in that hour to go from only taking a breath where I counted to one and then I would start coughing then I was able to take a full breath and count to at least four so we knew that things were headed in the right direction I can see why people with pre-existing stuff would just if this would like them flat so it is for those people it is also for our front liners our medical first responders I mean really they are the heroes in all of this seriously yeah grateful for them so we also have the antibody test and we tested positive for antibodies which told us we had kovat we fought covin and we beat kovat at least for this season I don't know this is not a free pass it's not a pure all forever and forever but does give you a little peace of mind not gonna lie so sure we're still doing all the social distance things we have now some really great masks I mean come on and we've got some chairs that we can spray it in Lysol if any the kids pop by we can have a driveway visit 6v part but we have found ourselves spending a lot of time alone now I have to say for me because I'm an introvert and spend most of my life with a suitcase packed that it has been a sweet refreshment for me and I don't say that to make light of how what if someone's joy has been also someone's loss two of my girls they have little kids at home and I just say bless you guys bless you bless you bless you because it's hard right now and we chanted you know throughout the Cova and texted back and forth and both of us I think we're thinking of the same thing in one particular week recently we were thinking about this little song that was born one night in the Alumnus in the solitude [Music] after we had just celebrated in a big beautiful gorgeous Performing Arts Center you'll know where that was I don't know where that is I don't remember stuff like that and I remember because I was that annoying kid that I would go to you and Gloria always after every concert and I would say now bill why did you do this song tonight but you didn't do it last night and why did you skip this and but why did you tell this story I haven't told this story like this whole run and you tell me well something's going on in this community and glory and I just thought that this song versus this song or this story versus that story would mean something to them and I love that I just we are called by God to do what we do but we work for the people I've learned so many things from you bill but one of the things that I learned that night I we I think manager finally said bill Gloria sandy we need to get on the bus or we're gonna leave you you guys bill Klee Gaynor actually did get left by his own bus sorry Everest with no cell phone but we walked out of the dressing room and we walked by the stage or on the stage actually there was one little tiny work light you know the theater work light that was sitting in this empty stage audience was gone all the gear was packed up and the stage was literally bare and I remember you saying huh the stage is bare and I remember Gloria saying hey Bill I can work with that so what I'd be probably over the next couple of days you guys put together I wrote this song because it's meaningful and this season right because we're not around a lot of people and we don't get to interact and even put on a face so you know our walk with the Lord honestly has to matter now really more than almost any time in our journey so unite chatted a bit and you said anyone who just sit down at the piano and just tell the story about it a little bit and as I said to Bill Gaither 45 years ago when he asked me to be a backup singer yes [Music] the stage [Music] [Applause] [Music] no one to here [Music] now [Music] another day [Music] [Music] we need you bless you
