Mark Gershmehl was a part of one of my favorite Christian bands, WhiteHeart! On this episode we'll discuss my favorite version of Little Drummer Boy from WhiteHeart and how it came about. We will also talk a lot about WhiteHeart, both with stories about the band and lineup changes, and also the inspiration behind some of the songs.
Here's a link to listen to WhiteHeart's version of Little Drummer Boy:

Fans of WhiteHeart will love this episode. But if you aren't familiar with WhiteHeart let me invite you to appreciate Mark's love for poetry, creativity, and learning. This conversation gets very deep and beautiful at times. It was a great to joy to have Mark on the show. I know this will be one of your favorite episodes of my podcast.
Mark is currently making music with his wife, Brynn (of Rachel Rachel), in their group Soulbreather.

Great interview.
My very first album was Vital Signs by WhiteHeart. I loved it and still do to this day…….so many great albums/songs from this band. Much respect to Mark Gersmehl. Thanks for this interview, as well as the one with Rick Florian. Enjoyed them so much!
I was thrilled to see this interview!!!!
I highly appreciate this interview. My wife and I initially met because of a WhiteHeart & Petra concert
Fun interview. I love White Heart. They were(are) criminally underappreciated.
Just finished listening. This was a fantastic interview with Mark. Thanks so much, Josh!
This man speaking from within his own soul, was like breathing pure oxygen.
Edit: He needs a podcast.
1:18:08. He had much more to say here…it was about to get deep and clarity about the inspiration for this song was about to come through.
Unfortunately, we are controlled by this psychological concept of time and in feeling this pressure, we rush ourselves and others to a hasty end.
It would have been so good if he was allowed to finish his thought.
I think this artist has a well within him.
Another Great interview with another Whiteheart legend. Please continue interviewing all the Whiteheart members! Love it!
I was doing a Christian rock show on a secular rock station in the 90s. I played Little Drummer Boy and the program director heard it and asked me who it was. They ended up adding it to their regular rotation during the Christmas season. I was very pleased.
They way you were saying "music within the music" is Sooooo spot on! It's something I've always felt with White heart that their music, especially with Gordon, are cinematic; those types of songs you're talking about are art pieces and in a somewhat "prog" type of way but they are SO very artistic. Each of those instrument parts are like brush strokes, more detailed than standard rock.
Excellent
I like it when Gersh said: "Oh Gosh, No!" @ 8:47, about putting the tape in the cloud.
MARK IS THE GOAT
Wow, I just discovered this channel and I’m sure glad I did. Huge WhiteHeart fan. Subscribed. Would love to learn more about Josh too.
WOW! I was and am more of a Petra fan but had had some Whiteheart cds. I'm not a genius nor am I the dumbest guy in the room, but listening to this I feel like I was in the presence of Einstein, feeling dumber and smarter at the same time! The creative mind and talent God has given Mark, well I'm just in awe. Needless to say I'll be going back and revisiting Whiteheart as a group and studying the musical God given talent and message of each album. Thank you so much for this inspiring interview.
Climb The Hill, yes, so glad that was mentioned, it is possibly my fav
Hey man, I tuned in to hear about Whiteheart songs, not statues in a museum or birds in the sky or any of that arty jive. And O how I grin and say thanks, Mark and Pastor Josh, for your conversation and insights into Mark's creative process and just all of it actually. And I'm looking forward to Part Two. And if there isn't a Part Two, you can be sure I'll be asking to speak with a manager. 😀
But statues and museums are very interesting!
Josh, will you ever consider letting a fan ask a question to some of your guests?
Sure. But how can I tell you who will be on the show? 😊
@TheJoshHuismanPodcast prophesy? Ha ha. I met Gordon Kennedy when I was 15. I've always wanted to ask questions about not only his time in white heart, but others as well. My life was greatly impacted by White Heart. Anyway...I don't know if you ever do a UA-cam live type of thing.
Este é o tipo de podcast onde o entrevistador fala mais do que o entrevistado.
