This song is autobiographical. In my teenage years, all I ever did in my spare time was listen to music day and night. I lived at the time on a small ranch in Santa Rosa, CA, in a more rural area, and after chores were done, I was all about music. When I started to get into playing piano, I would put on a record, and try to figure out the chords by ear. I remember learning a rather strange song for piano, a song by Chuck Berry which was a guitar instrumental called "Blue Feeling. " It had a lot of string bending and all, but somehow I made a translation to piano, without the bent notes, of course. This was my way of learning to play be ear. American Bandstand was a big show at the time, and was the source of exposure for a lot of new music. I was a big fan, I wanted to mention it in the song.
It was my simple, obvious idea in this song to communicate two ideas. One: that we never know where we will end up in life for sure. I never dreamed there would ever be a time when I would be singing "Jesus Music." The second idea was to communicate the joy of discovering the real reason anyone is given a gift or talent... to serve God.
