If you had any idea of how wrong you are about what my definitions of originality are you would be embarrassed…

*Sorry, Janet didn’t sing harmony. Mary Lynn did. My bad.

S.Smith- You’re right on!

Here’s a request for the Janet Paschal listeners. Back on the Jim crusades, she sang with another woman (singing harmony always) named Mary Lynn Larke. She appears on Janet’s latest release, “Treasure”, singing the song, “I Am”. Does anyone know where she went or if she’s still involved in the music field? I understand that she wasn’t an artist in the SG genre, but she is closely associated with an artist who very much is and has been for many years. Thanks!!

#150’s idea of originality: trash anything and everything associated with SG music. Really, I am so over your negativity. Why do you even bother listening to a genre that you have so much contempt for? While much of what you say may be true, your endless carping is getting really, really old and stale.

I appreciate the efforts of the people shown in the posts that are linked in #152 and #153. However, a worship service is not the place for it. We must strive for excellence. Maybe a 5th Sunday singing would be okay, and even then I would not put them on YouTube.

I appreciate the willingness to share, but badly out of tune singing will not inspire others to hear the message. On the other hand, I don’t believe in critiquing every slightly out of tune note when someone is doing a fairly good job. I don’t have a problem with critiquing a professional who is making his living from music. The professional musician should desire excellence and should always be perfecting his craft.

Here’s one from the same page… the rock star one had over 7000 hits.

#145…Thanks for the information. I was afraid of that, but hoping I was wrong. Now Michael needs to do a solo CD–I’d buy it in a heartbeat!

No. 149’s definition of originality:

1. Be an all-male quartet;
2. Buy matching suits and ties;
3. Do only “original” songs, i.e., songs every other quartet also does;
4. Adopt fake, TV evangelist-style southern accents;
5. Rail against stacked vocals every time you get a chance;
6. Decry any group that breaks this “originality” mold; and finally…
7. Leave any accurate Gospel presentation past “Aww aren’t ya thankful for the bluhuhuhuhud of of Jayh-sus tuh-naght!” on your bus.

Did I miss any?
