I do a long sound check. I get there at noon on the day of a show and sit behind the piano and then walk around with the microphone. Then I feel like I have done my homework. John Tesh checkdayfeel Change image and share on social
I worry a lot about what people think. I worry people think I'm not helping them enough, that they don't like my music, that I'm playing a song too fast or talking too fast. I worry my wife isn't happy with our relationship... I'm afraid somebody's going to take my career away from me. That it's going to go away, or I'm going to get fired.

I played trumpet, and a friend of mine who played trombone and a guy who played tuba, every Christmas we'd go out for three or four days beforehand and play Christmas carols on our horns.

It's impossible to be a good Christian. If you think it's easy to be a good Christian, then you're not really trying hard enough. John Tesh christianeasygood Change image and share on social
I come from the performance world, but the idea of a worship song is different. It's useful music. John Tesh ideamusicperformance Change image and share on social
