Okay. 01:44 Okay, but let's talk about you first. 01:47 I want to start with your beautiful wife. 01:49 Yes, she is beautiful. And your lovely children. 01:51 Well, I've been married for 12 years. 01:54 We got married when we were 19 years old. 01:57 And I wouldn't normally advice that, 01:59 but it worked for us, and it took us 10 years 02:03 in order to have our 2 year old, 02:05 my beautiful daughter Olivia, 02:07 and God just really answered our prayer, 02:09 that we didn't think we were gonna be 02:10 able to even have kids. 02:12 Oh, wonderful. 02:13 But God answered our prayers and gave us two. 02:16 And now, we don't want anymore so-- 02:19 Yes, so our audience at home, though Lyndon is not shy about 02:21 showing pictures of his beautiful children. 02:24 So Olivia and what is your-- 02:26 And Braxton. And Braxton. 02:27 And yeah, he's about 3 months right now. 02:30 Well, he's very new. 02:31 When you see this, he'll probably be older 02:33 and very bigger, 'cause was 8 pounds 9 ounces. 02:35 Wow, he was a big baby. Yeah, yeah. 02:37 So our audience is gonna find out 02:39 very soon that you play. 02:41 Yes. 02:42 How did you get started on the piano? 02:44 Well, my mom put me in piano lessons. 02:45 I took Suzuki music course. Yes. 02:48 And I took it for 4 years and often on. 02:52 I wasn't the best student 02:53 because I just naturally play by ears, 02:56 so any time they put sheet music up in front of me... 03:00 Like what I heard you said, I had the teacher play. 03:03 That was earlier, yes, you have the teacher play for us. 03:05 Yeah. And then you can play it later. 03:07 Exactly. Until you get caught. 03:08 Until you get caught. 03:10 How many music teachers 03:11 did you go through before you got? 03:12 I don't even remember. But I know that I did. 03:16 I put my hand through like a glass window 03:18 when I was about 10 and tore tendons in this finger 03:21 and cut up all this. 03:23 I have a lot scars, a good story. 03:25 And that kind of stopped my music lessons. 03:26 Oh, wow. 03:28 But clearly you didn't stop your ministry though. 03:29 It did not. 03:31 'Cause you are fantastic on the piano. 03:32 Praise the Lord, thank you. 03:33 And you sing. I do. 03:35 Which people a lot can't do, they can't sing and play. 03:37 It's either like one or the other. 03:38 So is that difficult for you to do, or? 03:40 It depends on the song. 03:43 But it's not difficult 'cause I've done it for a while now, 03:46 but when I first got started, it was rough. 03:50 I'm glad you learned, 'cause we're gonna enjoy that. 03:52 Praise the Lord. 03:53 So what you are a minister of music? 03:55 You want to talk a little bit about that? 03:57 I am, I'm a minister of music in Chattanooga, Tennessee, 04:00 at two churches, at Orchard Park 04:02 and then also St. Elmo. 04:03 And how did that come about? 04:05 How did people find out that 04:06 Lyndon could be minister of music? 04:07 Well, they moved me down from Nebraska 04:10 and it was a story from there. 04:12 Well, I'm absolutely sure that they enjoy your ministry. 04:15 So you have a beautiful family. 04:16 Yes. Yes.

Well, let's see. 15:53 My husband and I met when we we're 15 years old, 15:57 and his father is actually a pastor, 16:00 and his father was moved to our church. 16:03 And we met at 15 and became fast friends, 16:06 well, not right away, we weren't fast friends 16:08 'cause I didn't like him at first. 16:09 And then, but when we actually 16:11 did become friends, 16:12 it was just kind of one of those things 16:14 that actually clicked, 16:15 and we've been that way ever since. 16:16 Yeah. 16:18 Well, you are such a talented person. 16:20 She's a very good singer 16:21 which you guys are about to find out. 16:22 Which you already know about 16:24 Lyndon, you just found out he's a fantastic singer. 16:26 Praise the lord, praise the lord. 16:27 I don't know if I want to sing anymore. 16:30 I'm not sure about if I want to sing anymore. 16:31 She can hold her own. 16:32 I don't know about that. 16:34 But you're not just talented in singing, 16:36 you also have your own production company. 16:38 I do, actually, I have a degree in theatre, 16:41 I graduated from Fisk University 16:43 in Nashville, Tennessee. 16:44 And one of my passions is always been 16:46 to be able to create a production company, 16:48 that Adventists can be a part of 16:51 and not have to worry about the Sabbath. 16:52 And so what I do is, that I created this company 16:55 where it's open to every one of course, 16:57 but we never do Friday night show, 16:59 we don't do Sabbath day shows, 17:00 which is actually really huge in theatre. 17:02 And it allows people to be able to be 17:04 in a very safe environment, 17:06 while still being able to do shows that are, 17:09 they can be passionate about 17:10 and that are reputable in the community 17:12 and we, of course, have fun, 17:14 and theater being one of my biggest passions, 17:16 it's one of my first loves, besides music, 17:19 that I really care about, 17:21 and so that is kind of productions by Danita Jones. 17:23 And we travel around, 17:25 and we do a lot of church things, 17:26 we do a lot of community things, 17:28 so it's really a lot of fun. 17:29 And the traveling, 17:30 where are some places that you've gone? 17:32 Where we've gone are, well, of course, Columbus, 17:34 and I've been to Pennsylvania, and we've been to DC, 17:40 and when we were in Columbus, we traveled to Huntsville, 17:43 and we've been to Memphis, 17:44 actually went there this past summer. 17:46 And we do different types of shows, 17:48 of course, we do church shows. 17:49 We also do shows that are important 17:51 to people in our community. 17:53 So we do talk about things like domestic violence, 17:55 and we talk about AIDS, 17:56 and things that make people think. 17:59 A lot of times people don't realize 18:00 that when they're watching a show, 18:02 sort of like this one, 18:03 that they can receive something, 18:05 and they can learn something while they're watching it 18:08 and not realize it until they get in their car 18:10 and go home and we pride ourselves 18:12 at my production company like that so... 18:13 You know, that's awesome. 18:15 Well, we're about to hear you sing. 18:16 So what are you gonna do? 18:18 How about "Give us this day?" 18:19 Okay, why don't you come around front 18:21 and if you want I can play for you. 18:23 That'd be great.
