Amy Grant, who turns 50 on Thanksgiving this year, says that the beauty of aging is you get to do what you love. And for Amy that love is music.
“I know the power of music and I had just as much fun doing a Christmas concert at the Cumberland Assisted Living home for my mom and dad… for the wheelchairs and gray hairs. And it was fabulous. Just doing something you love as you get older,” Grant said. “Taking a hike at 70 or riding a bike at 60. It’s whoo hoo.”
Her advice to young artists: “Surround yourself with good people. People with integrity. And be gracious to everybody you meet. That coffee clerk might be the next head of the next biggest company. And that top executive might be selling perfume at the counter the next day. We are just a little tiny piece of the puzzle. And what we do is such a tiny wedge of this gigantic pie.”
