Life Lesson #16 – Avoid Fads.
It was in 1933 during the Great Depression that a very talented boy named Randy Sparks was born in Leavenworth, Kansas. Randy was always a hard worker. And he especially worked hard at learning to play the guitar and singing and then writing songs. The songs that he wrote were all very special. But his songs always had hope, and sometimes they had some good advice, too! He knew that he wasn’t as naturally gifted as some other musicians, so he just worked that much harder to achieve what he wanted. In 1962, Randy Sparks started a musical group called The New Christy Minstrels. His very first record album won a Grammy Award. Another record album called Land of Giants was filled with songs he wrote about many special HEROES who HELPED make America great.
Over the years, Randy Sparks has HELPED many others get into show business, too, like John Denver, Kenny Rogers, and Steve Martin. He is also known for speaking out strongly about fairness and about opportunity to achieve by those who really work hard on their talents whatever those talents may be. And he strongly fights the idea of using tobacco and drugs, because he knows so many people who have ruined their lives by smoking and by taking drugs.
Yes, Randy Sparks, has always worked hard and has always looked for opportunities to HELP those who were really willing try. And for that, he became a HERO!
