(Allen plays upbeat piano music) (upbeat piano music continues) (upbeat piano music continues) (upbeat piano music continues) (upbeat piano music continues) - Well it is so beautiful to hear the, just the simplicity of just one instrument, but the dynamics of how that one instrument can be brought to and just what you've done, sir.

- Thank you.

- We thank you for it and we appreciate that you would come and share your gift with us.

- Always thankful for being here.

- Take a moment and just a small moment if you will, and speak to sof the other musicians and singers out there in the land.

And just tell them what it takes to keep going, when you feel like giving up.

Would you do that?

- Well, what it takes to, you just must remember why you started it.

Always go back.

There was a song called "Take Me Back to Where I First Began."

And just always remember what you did it for, what you're doing it for.

So much can be clouded in the hustle and the bustle of what's going on in the world that we lose sight of the reason why we do what we do.

It's one, for the glory of God because it's a gift that was given to us and we could not put a monetary value on what God has given us.

He will open up the doors, open up windows for us.

We don't have to chase after it, it'll chase us.

- All right, well thank you.

That's right to the point.

Well, Alan Pruitt Jr, thank you so much.

- Thank you again.

- For always being here.

You are part of the staff really, so we thank you.

And I wanna say this too, as you come and go this week to everybody, be nice, be kind.

- Smile.

- And somebody will smile back at you.

- Smile back at you.

(MC and Alan laugh) - All right, well we're gonna say this as we close.

You might wanna play a little bit while we're doing this.

Okay, I'm gonna play.

- All right, and then you're gonna have to talk too.

- Okay.
