- What was the first time we sang together?

- Well, what was the first time?

- What do you think it is?

- I thought it was, "Change Is Gonna Come."

- I did too till I saw this tape.

First time we ever sang together was at church.

I was like, maybe 14?

And I, you were doing "Praise Him."

- Lord Jesus.

- That's right.

♪ I know He'll never ♪ I know He'll never ♪ Never, never, never, never ♪ Never let me down ♪ Oh, now He's just ♪ A jewel Lord that I have found ♪ ♪ Praise God ♪ Hallelujah - I call my grandpa Pawpaw.

I don't know why we started calling him that actually.

- Did you start calling him?

- I don't remember.

- I don't know how he became Pawpaw, but he's Pawpaw.

- Yeah.

- Either way.

The best thing about my grandpa, I think, for me is his personality and the person that he's shown us to be and he's really funny.

He has an incredible faith and he's passed that down to our dad who's passed that on to us.

- My favorite Pawpaw saying is, "It can't get no gooder."

- I was gonna say that one.

- But that's the best one.

- That's like the only one.

What else does he say?

- I don't.

What else does he say?

- He say, "That's the business."

- Yeah.

That one too.

- That's the only other one- - But I like- - I got.

- "It can't get no gooder."

'Cause it's like- - Yeah, that's the best one.

- Bad English.

But it works.

- Like when I see our grandpa singing with our dad, it's like, I have a dad that can sing.

I have a grandpa that can sing.

We have this whole singing family.

We got to do a lot of things because of that.

We can't be us on camera.

- This is me.

But this is not you.

- Yes.

- Okay.

- Our families have known each other for over 50 years on both sides.

There's a point at our courtship where we were like, "Are we?"

- Right.

Let's just stop digging.

- Let's stop digging 'cause- - We might be related and I really like this guy.

I want it to work.

So let's just stop.

- Which we are not related, by the way.

- No.

No.

- In that way.

No.

- I thought you were a distraction.

But then I realized, maybe there's something to this thing and this guy.

So let me give it a try.

- It didn't take long.

- No it didn't.

I'm a behind the scenes kind of person.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, I totally get it.

- I would climb mountains for you.

I told you that the other day.

Like I would do anything for you, with you.

- To do marriage and child rearing in life, you need people you can count on.

You need people to lean on.

You need people who will stand by you.

- Yeah.

- Because climbing mountains ain't easy.

- Yeah.

I just had a basic assumption.

We sing.

I married somebody that sings.

I take for granted certain things about their ability, I think.

The kid that has surprised me the most, who do you think it is?

- Solomon.

- Lord Jesus.

(participant laughs) I'm like, "Where did this come from?"

(participant laughs) - He's younger than me and he's really good at singing.

I'll say he may probably may be better than me at singing.

- One, two, three.

And for me, that message is, and that message says, "Live to the full extent of the purpose for which God created you."

I think the lyrics we choose come out of the relationship that we have.

"You can count on me."

"Stand by me."

"You're my hero."

You know, "forever young."

(laughs) So when we perform together, at least for me, I'm not just doing a song, I'm doing lyrics that relate very much to my connection, not just with Brian, but with my grandkids, with Amanda, 'cause you know, they sing with us.

So you know, it don't get no gooder then.

(laughs) It has helped me pay attention to the moments that God give me right now.

You are going to have moments where you fall, where you mess up, where you are not thoughtful, you're not mindful, you just screw up.

But I want everybody in my life to know that they can lean on me.

That when it goes down and you're in the thick of it, you can call me and I'm going to be there.

That's what I want everybody to take away from this.

You just call on your brother when you need a hand.

That's my only goal.

- I mean, I wasn't touching your head, I was touching your hair.

- But understand, I just wasn't touching you.

- Just let me say, I'm touching your ear.

I'm not touching your face, I'm touching your ear.

- It's time.

It's time, it's time, it's time.

I got truth to say.

- Bring some money.

I'm broke.

(participant laughs) - All right, Solomon, can I get you to stand over here, so you can (indistinct).

- A rocky soil.

If I had a family right now, I wouldn't be able to provide.

(indistinct chatter) That's why I'm 16.

I don't have a family.
