Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. He was a comedian for a while before he got a surprise invitation to fill a spot in a quartet of famous Christian songwriter Bill Gaither. What was the name of the quartet?

Answer: The Gaither Vocal Band

He became a big hit for the Gaithers, providing the comedy relief that the Homecoming videos love to have. He got the job despite the fact that he couldn't read music and knew none of those things that one should know about singing in a quartet, like "swelling."

Answer: Sandi Patty

This is a very funny performance to watch when he does it on stage. Sandi Patty does indeed sing with him on this song but is not on tour with him so he uses a wig to represent her by putting it on his head and acting out her part, putting it on his fist and holding the mic up to it and putting it on the mic stand. (He knocks her to the ground at one point and then holds the mic down to the wig on the floor when he finds it.)

Answer: his shoe.

This act only got crazier as they continued to do it, even up to the point where Mark would stick his stinky foot up there under Bill's nose. Bill's such a great sport.

4. Mark Lowry co-wrote a very touching song which has become a Christmas favorite. Which of these is the song's title?

Answer: "Mary, Did You Know??

How much did Mary know about her child? According to the Bible, she knew that he was of God. "The Christmas Shoes" was written by Eddie Carswell and Leonard Ahlstrom.

5. Mark Lowry had a video out showcasing his 10 favorite routines. He now has one with 20 favorites. What are the titles of these videos?

Answer: "10 Stories Tall" and "20 Stories Tall"

Lowry likes to joke around about Bill Gaither's love of selling tapes and CDs, but he himself now has quite a collection started, as well as having a big presence on the internet.

6. For the song "Cool Water," Mark had just one word to sing during the song. What word did he need to sing?

Answer: "Water"

He didn't originally want to do this bit, but Bill Gaither envisioned a funny bit coming out of this. It is one of the two most requested bits of Mark Lowry. He says, "Ice Cream" instead of "Water" at one point during the song and pretends to ride a donkey toward the end of it.

7. Mark Lowry does a radio talk show with a co-host where they discuss Christianity, philosophy etc. Who is this guest host of "Saturdays With Mark and Tony?"

Answer: Dr. Anthony Campolo

Dr. Anthony Campolo is a pastor, a sociologist and a public speaker who has become the leader of a movement called "Red-Letter Christians." Dr. Tony Evans is a good preacher and has a ministry called "The Urban Alternative." Anthony Burger toured with Mark Lowry quite a bit, but he passed away on February 22, 2006, at the age of 44 while performing (not with Mark) aboard a cruise ship.

There are a couple of Pastor Tony Smiths, one in Detroit, MI and the other in Baltimore, MD.

8. One of Mark Lowry's podcasts features his favorite songs of all types. What is the title of this podcast for people who are a lot like him?

Answer: "ADHD Radio"

He is almost proud of being ADHD as it is a large part of his comedy routine. He offers links on his website for those with ADHD.

Answer: Jake Hess

He did a very good impersonation of Jake. Jake was right there beside him during the routine, however he has since passed on.

10. Mark Lowry left the Gaither Vocal Band to focus on his many other projects, including his comedy career. During which year did Mark leave the group?

Answer: 2001
