Q&A with Host of Bobby Jones Hour Bobby Jones, host and execu tive producer of the "Bobby Jones Gospel Show" and producer of "Video Gospel," has been recog nized across the country as a tal ented pcrforrncrT skilled profes sional and a successful entrepre neur in the gospel music industry. In addition, Jones is an educator, holding a bachelors, masters and doctorate degree in education. In the following interview, Jones talks about his future in gospel, his career and what drives him to excel. Q: How do you feel the "Bobby Jones Gospel Show" has influenced the gospel music indus try? Jones: "Based on the amount of communications that 1 get from people through the mail, from tele phone calls, face-to-face conversa tions. and my own suggestions, we have set the precedent for gospel music by helping to develop a standard professionalism. In every aspect of the gospel music indus try, we have had an impact on pre sentation, delivery, instrumenta tion, and we offer a tremendous platform for other gospel artists to display their talents. At thi'. point, BET is the only network that has supported this type of gospel plat form." Q: Where do you see yourself in the next 5-10 years? Jones: "I would like to con tinue my work at BET and expand to have a syndicated show in other markets. I am also in the process of developing the Diamond Festi val, which will similar to the Cannes Film Festival in France, to establish some elitism within the gospel music industry. I hope to have another book completed on gospel music, continue my contri butions, and sit at the helm of the industry and direct what needs to happen." p Q: How does your show tie in to the needs of the African- Ameri can community? Jones: "The first component is spirituality. There are five tenets of life that we experience, and spirituality is one. I think that we have a great impact on the spiritual lives of African Americans. We also make an impact through edu cational seminars and workshops that we provide to inform and edu cnte people on the lifestyle of gospel." "Financially, we give back to the record labels and artists who produce gospel music. Politically, we are always in the forefront of providing information which relates to our activities and the rest of the world. Socially, we bring people together from all over the world." Q: What message do you have for young people today trying to find their "vision?" Jones: "To the young and old, ^1 say remember to maintain a bal ance in life. Always know that life is a series of experiences, and we make judgments based on those experiences and the information around us. Never take life so seri ously that you can't be positive, and yet take it seriously enough so that you can recognize these expe riences. Learn from them and be prepared to develop yourself. Always stay focused and informed. Decisions without infor mation leads us to uncomfortable situations. Nothing is promised to us, but whatever comes to you, be prepared to receive it and you will find yourself placed in better posi tions in life." . Harris Teeter MEANS LOW PRICES! - a ...
