Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What was the name given to fans of Mark Lowry, who subscribe to his newsletter?

Answer: reMarkables

In his concerts, Mark often makes comments addressed directly to his reMarkable fans and loves to hear from them. This is also the name of the great newsletter that is intended for these fans, that tells Mark's schedule and his latest accomplishments. Mark's website is full of references to this reMarkable fan base.
2. Along with singing and telling funny jokes and stories, Mark has also written several children's books about an overactive mouse. In 2005 he released a special collection containing all four of this mouse's adventures. What was his name?

Answer: Piper

Mark has written four different stories telling the adventures of Piper the mouse. Piper is the first hyperactive mouse I've ever read about. His personality fits well with Mark and his own hyperactiveness. My favorite Piper story was "Piper's Night Before Christmas" where he learned the true joy of giving.

Another story in this collection is "Piper's Twisted Tale", about the importance of telling the truth.
3. Starting in 1988, Mark was offered the chance to sing baritone with what famous Christian singing group?

Answer: Gaither Vocal Band

This band was started by Bill Gaither in the early 1980s, with just four singers but has grown and evolved and become well-known by Christian music fans of all ages. Mark continued singing with the Gaither Band for 13 years and was enjoyed by audiences in many cities. Seven years after leaving this group, he rejoined them in January 2009.
4. Mark also wrote some songs. He began writing the lyrics for a Christmas song in 1984. What is the name of this Christmas song, for which he is the most well known?

Answer: Mary, Did You Know?

"Mary, Did You Know?" is an amazing song full of questions that Mark would have asked Mary about Jesus, her blessed baby. The music for this beautiful song was written by Buddy Greene. The song has been performed, not only by Mark, but also by many other great singers, including Kenny Rogers and Wynonna Judd.
5. Mark is the middle child of three. What word did he use frequently in his concerts and on his albums to describe his older brother, Mike and his younger sister, Melissa?

Answer: perfect

Mark enjoyed telling stories about his family, including his two perfect siblings and their perfect families. He always compared himself and his knack for getting into trouble with his siblings, who were perfect and never caused any problems.
6. Why did Mark have difficulty in school when he was growing up?

Answer: He had ADHD.

Many kids are now being diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), but Mark had this before it was so common place. This disorder affects many people, causing problems with hyperactivity, inattention and impulsivity. His hyperactivity was an on-going problem with his teachers in school. Having raised him, his parents were very supportive and understanding of his teachers and would never have undermined them. Even growing up, Mark knew that he would have to channel this hyperactivity into a positive direction, which made his career as a singer and comedian a great use of his God-given gifts.
7. Most of Mark's tapes and CDs contain songs as well as comedy routines. What was the name of the first album he created, released in 1998, that was only songs?

Answer: But Seriously

Mark created the album "But Seriously" as a singing only project, at the request of his mama in 1998. This album, in particular, was dedicated to her. This was the first album that Mark recorded that did not contain any of his stories or comedy routines.
8. Growing up, Mark would have had a lot fewer problems with his mama if he had just given her the one thing she wanted more than anything else. What was this one thing that was all that Mama ever really wanted? (This was also the title of one of Mark's albums, released in 1994.)

Answer: the last word

Unfortunately for young Mark, he also always wanted to have the last word when arguing with his Mama. This led to many heated times in the Lowry household. Mark would have fared better if he would have stopped arguing and just let Mama have the last word.
9. Mark created parodies of many other Christian artist's songs. What did he call his version of Steven Curtis Chapman's "The Great Adventure" song?

Answer: The Date Adventure

This spoof, on Mark's "Mouth in Motion" album (released in 1994), is all about the adventures of going on blind dates. He uses the song to poke fun at blind dates through humor. The other titles are some I'd like to see what Mark could do with.
10. Mark first began performing in churches of the denomination he was a member of when he was growing up. What kind of churches were these?

Answer: Baptist

Mark's comedy began in independent Baptist churches though, as he said in his albums, the denomination isn't as important as the simple fact that your heart belongs to Jesus. He has performed in many different denominations though he will never forget his Baptist upbringing.

He joked during several of his concerts that you can always find the Baptists in the crowd because they are usually seated in the balcony or "on the shelf" as he put it. Mark and his family were very involved in their Baptist church and he joked that if the doors were open, they were there in "their" pew. Lowry's joined the "Greenwood Village Baptist Church" when Mark was eleven years old.
