Mildly humorous.

We are holding revival services at my church this week, and we have a family of singers providing special music. Yesterday was their first day, and I introduced myself to them. They introduced one lady, the mother of most of the group, and she mentioned her name was Georgia B____. Well, you know me, wheels began to turn in my head!

So I asked what her maiden name might be.

And, yeah, you've probably guessed it, it was Brown.

She was Georgia Brown!

(That's the theme song of the Harlem Globetrotters, a basketball team.)

My best friend was from louisiana. He told me a story of a old man who worked for his dad. One cold winter morning he seen him standing in a pond. He said jake, what are you doing? Jake said he was "horsing it up" as he was suppose to sing bass next sunday!

Country gospel has always been my favorite type music. Sorry to say, the church music (where I go) to my taste, has gotten away from the old time good hymns and has went to the draggy chant worship service stuff that doesn't even rhyme. I don't say anything as who am I to dictate what the majority must want but it does bug me. I have tried different churches here and they all have went to it.

I remember seeing the Harlem Globtrotters a very long time ago and I’ve heard the song of course, but didn’t know that was it’s name.

I can see the humor, being named after a song. I suppose parents back then weren’t much different than parents today when it comes to picking names for babies.

Now that is a Sweet name!

Her parents could have named her Helen.

I'm not too sure which came first, her or the song.

O.K. Just Googled the song, it was composed in 1925, so it is the senior.

She looks like hell in brown?

Long ago and not too far away I had a secretary named Georgia Brown.
She was a tutor for a University of KY basketball player named Melvin Turpin.

Perhaps the name is, in some way, intertwined with black basketball players?

Maybe she be married to bad, bad, leroy brown?

If your music has gone contemporary then you might suggest to your pastor that he fire the music director. You might even consider firing your pastor if he continues allowing it.

I have seen a copy of a book, which I regret not buying, entitled "Why I left the Christian Contempory Music Scene."

It`s a very small AG church (50 people on a good sunday counting kids) in heavy mormon/cowboy/Indian/polygamist country. We don't even have a piano. They use a video with not my style praise songs. The preacher is very good and well studied. He's almost as old as me. At best I mumble through the worship service. None of us is musically talented.
