Psalm 150 (The Message)

Hallelujah!
Praise God in his holy house of worship, praise him under the open skies; Praise him for his acts of power, Praise him for his magnificent greatness; Praise with a blast on the trumpet, praise by strumming soft strings; Praise him with castanets and dance, praise him with banjo and flute; Praise him with cymbals and a big bass drum, praise him with fiddles and mandolin. Let every living, breathing creature praise God!
Hallelujah!

Mashed Taters

Well,Well,Well, Where do I start with this.
Yesterday X-ALT! went to "Tater Day" in Benton KY.
Benton is a beautiful little town in West Kentucky and on "Tater Day" this small town grows to a population of over 20,000 and has parades, a carnival and all kinds of good fun.
They also have a "Singing On The Hill" a Gospel music celebration, that's where X-ALT! comes in, we asked about the Singing On The Hill, sent them a CD and info about us and we were asked to join in the days festivities.
Well it turns out that "Singing on The Hill" should be called "Singing in the GYM", in an all metal building. Now anyone that knows anything about sound knows that if you put a big band in a big metal building with no sound baffling you get noise from the sound bouncing all over the room. That combined with the fact that the singing they wanted was strait from the hymnal church music with a little southern gospel thrown in for good measure, X-ALT! became the famous "Fish Out Of Water". I think we all saw it coming but it was too late. The twenty or so people that bothered to show up (We had been told to expect between 80 & 100) looked at us like dogs watch TV, their eyes kinda glazed over. Thankfully there were a few we saw singing along but for the most part it was not pretty.
Nothing against the good people of Benton, but next year I think I'm gonna schedule a root canal for the first Monday in April.
We all have bad days and what doesn't kill us makes us stronger - Today - I am Superman!
