Red Grammer Rocks!
“I want to bring some lightness and fun into your home during this wacky time,” said Red Grammer, Grammy-nominated family music artist and a longtime supporter of Brilliant Star. He begins offering weekly free online concerts for families in March 2020, in response to the coronavirus pandemic that has closed schools and businesses around the world.
Check out these uplifting Red Grammer songs that have appeared in Brilliant Star over the years.
I Think You're Wonderful
by Kathy and Red Grammer
“I think you’re wonderful.
When somebody says that to me,
I feel wonderful, as wonderful can be.
It makes me wanna say
The same thing to somebody new.
And by the way I’ve been meaning to say
I think you're wonderful, too.”
Fairness
by Red Grammer and Pamela Oland
“It’s only just, it’s only wise
Stop and look, the answer's often
Right before your eyes.
And the reason folks will trust you for the things you do and say,
Is everybody knows you play fair.”
Perseverance
by Red Grammer and Pamela Phillips Oland
“If getting good’s the question,
The answer’s very clear;
To get where you're going,
well, you've got to persevere.
So try, try, try and try again.
Why cry when you can try again?”
A few years ago, Red gave a rousing concert at the book release party for The Life of Bahá’u’lláh: A Treasury of Stories from Brilliant Star. He said, “The Brilliant Star magazine just wins award after award after award. It is, I would say, the most respected children’s publication from a religious organization, I think, probably in the country, if not the world.”
We think he’s pretty wonderful, too!
