This video demonstrates the exact reason why I don't listen to K-LOVE or AFR...but now I'm just being snobby.; February 5, 2013 at 9:44:00 AM CST
DJP said...: So, are you going to blog about your Phil Keaggy encounter, or not?; February 5, 2013 at 9:47:00 AM CST
Herding Grasshoppers said...: Can you hear me groaning, from clear up here in the Pacific Northwest? All he needed was a flannel shirt and rock show lights.

And getting behind on the words (on the screen)? The perfect touch.

Reminds me of the "contemporvant" one you posted a while back.; February 5, 2013 at 9:53:00 AM CST
SolaMommy said...: Hahahaha! "Just...something has to be in flames."; February 5, 2013 at 10:53:00 AM CST
Marla said...: I'm thinking there are lots of people are there who see this and say "Those are great instructions!"

*sigh*.

I try not to be too cynical, but whenever there is a 'worship team/worship band' inevitably, they descend into this.; February 5, 2013 at 12:15:00 PM CST
candy said...: Sooooo true. I am actually going to pass this on to someone from my church. We have had some conversations about worship music, and this church is a tad bit resistant to hymns (except the obligatory hymn for those old folks at the beginning of the service). BTW, I met Phil Keaggy once too. Oh, oh, oh, and I had dinner with Keith Green and his wife years ago. :); February 5, 2013 at 1:37:00 PM CST
The Blainemonster said...: Oh that little thing! Well, I posted pictures on my photo blog. Perhaps a few words about the encounter would be nice!; February 5, 2013 at 5:55:00 PM CST
DJP said...: Oh, I thought you'd said you were going to do so.; February 5, 2013 at 5:56:00 PM CST

Bike Bubba said...: Too....true. An acquaintance of my daughter's just noted that it was easier to sing some of the songs they're playing (sigh) if you "put yourself in the part of the girl."

As if kids these days need any more reasons to be sexually confused. Ugh.; February 6, 2013 at 9:47:00 AM CST
Susan said...: Ok, I only came back to visit Dan's blog today and saw this...which means I really haven't been so faithful lately! :p. Can't claim credit for the vid...saw it on FB via a friend's link, laughed real hard and thought, "Hey! I wonder if Dan would use this for Monday music!" (Tuesday's good, too.) :); February 10, 2013 at 11:59:00 PM CST
Susan said...: And I just can't resist this line from the vid: "'Hallelujah' rhymes with 'Hallelujah'!"; February 11, 2013 at 12:06:00 AM CST
