A Toe Tapper from a God Fearin’ Man
Posted By Randy on August 19, 2012
Not being a Christian I never really got the taste for the Gospel music genre, and neither am I a particularly big fan of the Blue Grass style, although I have encountered exceptions along the way and expect I’ll continue to do so. The magic ingredient defining the enjoyability of any piece of music that’s inspired by someone’s spiritual beliefs has to be sincerity rather than salesmanship or zealotry.
Yesterday, while Mrs. LFM and I were visiting Thompson San, who is of a Christian bent, he exposed us to this piece – a musical admonishment to be of good behaviour delivered from a decidedly Old Testament perspective. I’ll warn you now – if your beliefs are of the shrill and easily bruised variety, or if you take umbrage with profanity and mature themes, stop now.
OMG! Randy.
how am I going to sing that out loud to get it out of my head?
it’ll have to be in the van with the windows shut tight.
Fuck it. When you’re in the van your time’s your own. Those people at the intersection today could have used a dose of religion like that.
