   Them Yankee’s were always the liberal ones. There ain’t nothin’ dandy about ‘em and their crazy music.

   Now I am going to retire and listen to my Shania Twain gospel CD.

   Looks like they could use a bass player, maybe even a fiddle as well. Oh, why stop there. This is how Praise and Worship teams get out of control, you know.

   They did the best ‘A Mighty Fortress’ I’ve ever heard.

   This brings back the fond memory of when the pastor of Bagamuffin Church led everyone around the church building seven times to the sounds of two drummers and one electrifying fife. I still remember the clouds of dust when the building unexpectantly collapsed on the deacons. I have often wondered if this was deliberate or not.

   Here we see them performing the very first 35 minute version of “Open the Eyes of My Heart”.
   At the time this band was known as “John Doodle and the Revolution”.

   Good one John, these must be the American counterparts to those bagpipe guys who performed “Butterfly Kisses” last year. It never fails to make me laugh trying to play the song chorus in my head with the featured instruments. C’mon guys, I’m not the only one, right?

   They performed the 90 minute version of “Our God Is as Awesome God….”

   Notice the dude in the middle holds a striking resemblance to Bill Gaither.

    Thank you Angus. Bill Gaither? I thought it was Bill Maher…

    I hear their church almost split when they added the drums.

    I heard that the fife player wow’d them with his medley of “Breathe and Aqualung”.(He DOES resemble Ian Anderson. Right?!)

    Sorry LuLu, I’m a Christian- I don’t know who Ian Anderson (the frontman for Jethro Tull) is.

    If you didn’t know Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson as lead singer….come on, do you think we just fell off the turnip truck?

    In a sad turn of events, Jacob “Macaroni” Tory, pictured left, split from the group to pursue a solo label in 1781 Entitled “Upsidedown”. The album was a smash success in both the religious and the publican industries. “Macaroni” Toured American Churches and Pubs with his ambiguous songs of love and goodness. In an interview, “Macaroni” told his fans and critics alike that his music was still religious but he wanted it to be recognized as art and he felt the Christian message was one of tolerance and respect. The following year proved to be just as much a success when, in the winter of 1782, Tory was invited to tour England with St. Benedict and the Turncoats (another Christian hard rock band from the coast). “Macaroni’s” soaring success on “the other side” was met with a tragic end when he sadly died in a freak accident during his tour through the Indian tribes.
