Speaking of old music, Thad, Saturday I was visiting my old church for the pastor's church anniversary...41st or 42nd...can't remember.

Anyway, at the close of the service, Mother D got up to give remarks and then Bishop D was to follow. Mother took the mic and began to sing the old call and answer song...

Do you want to rise with me
When I rise
Do you want to rise with me
When I rise

In the morning
When I rise
In the morning
When I rise

Well, you can imagine we were all standing and singing with her and crying...it was...whew!! You shoulda been there, son!!

Oooooooooooooooooooooooh I remember that one but I can't remember the tune to it now... Oh Noooooooooooooooooo...

I used to have that one on cassette way back in the day but we never did sing it.

I don't know if we could sing it here though because my old girlfriends name was Joy and my wife makes funny faces at me when I sing about having joy in my heart and stuff.

did this make you long to be back?
have they ever tried to get you back?
would you ever?
where exactly is this church? this isn't Bishop Boone is it?

i still like those songs but oddly enough even n many black churches they are getting away from singing them-have you noticed? Donnie McClurkin on his last project complained about it along with the fact that many of the young musicians can't play these very simple songs

Thad - how was your attendance in choir yesterday? We had so many people out of town for Memorial Day weekend that we weren't able to have choir A.M. or P.M.!!

When we were growing up, did your family not come back from vacation in time for Sunday services?

With gas prices going up, we thought for sure there wouldn't be many gone....but I guess people are gonna do what people wanna do. Right?

Aw maaan, now you done and did it, the tune is in my head and I can't get it out!!!

Moooooviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing, moooooooooviiiiiiing! Moving down in my soul!

You always ask the compelling, if not personal questions...but that's okay, this time, and I don't mind answering.

I did feel quite comfortable there...I am 'Black' and can't help myself!!

But would I return...no, son, and for reasons I can't say on an open forum.

One main reason though is my mom. She doesn't drive and is in the stage in her life that she needs me.

They have never tried to get me back because that is not ethical you know...however, they were extremely receptive and sincerely happy to see me.

The church is affiliated with the Church Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Apostolic Faith.

Re music, the call and answer songs date back to slavery days and have been very much a part of the Black church structure and culture.

We sang one in our church not long ago...

What do you think about Jesus
He's all right...

Really the same came be said about our churches, Thad...how many of the young folks really know who Bishop Haywood was and the powerful songs he wrote.

I think progress is good but we should remmeber from whence we came.

Need to go check on the pie...

not too bad really. I was pleasantly surprised. some holidays are worse than others perhaps but our attendance yesterday was pretty good. my youth choir is a little more unpredictable but that i expect. they get sat down, or the parents don't bring them, or they have other things going on.
Now before people take this wrong, I am not against holidays in general, family time, etc., but i feel that in our day and time people take leisure time to the extreme. It's becoming like the days of Rome, a holiday, feast, BBQ for every little thing.
