It's Late ... So Here's My Secret Guilty Pleasure ..

[mrdreamjeans]

It's late Saturday night and I know no one is reading, so I'm going to admit this ... Without being specifically tied into the message, I love to listen to "The Gaither Family Homecoming". "Why", you'd ask if you were home alone like me?

1. It's this program, an HGTV repeat, wrestling or the National Cheerleader Championships:)
2. The amazing voices ... especially The Happy Goodman Family ...
3. The complicated A Capella harmonies ... The close harmonies with the shifts in key are so hard to do well.
4. Bluegrass and Gospel music melodies resonate with me ...
5. Seeing LuLu Roman from HeeHaw days ...
6. Seeing Larry Gatlin in tonight's edition ... Must be forgiveness day, cause he sure has been a sinner:)
7. The big hair and wigs ... and that's just the men!
8. Copious amounts of polyester and makeup ... and that just the men!
9. The key changes ... half a step, then another and then some more ... always up!
10. The plaintive sound of steel guitar and harmonica.

Some of these big-bird-nested be-wigged, polyester-wearing folks may be style victims and hypocrites (I know Gay men who are in the industry and have to stay closeted or lose their recording contracts), but I love it when people can flat out sing! (flat out "sang" is how we say it in Texas.)

Talent doesn't always come with an open mind, but I'm listenin' with one:)

Now, let's all sing a chorus of "Loooooookin' for a City, where we'll never die ...." (Get ready! It has six key changes!!!)
