There is no Dr D in Seattle, at least not yet.
However - 106.1 FM 7pm to midnight Sundays is 
Music with Moscowitz.  First half of the
show is 'novelty records' the second half
is old C&W. (And I do mean *old*, Johnny Cash as

On my machine, the article I posted with the Funny 25 is still available.
It's article #1143 - I don't know if that's the same on yours or not.  If
not, you can e-mail me, and I'll send you the Funny 25, unless there's
particular demand to post it again.
I taped the Funny 25 for some people, but I didn't keep a copy as such for
myself, as I already had all the songs.  So, I can't really copy it for you.
And, I ended up missing the Christmas shows due to stations messing things
up, so I can't help you there.

I've enjoyed this group for a while, and would like to ask y'all about
churches in the Detroit area.  My spouse-to-be and I are moving to Lincoln
Park in June and will be church-hunting.  At the moment, we're attending a
PCA (Presbyterian Church in America) church.  We're interested in finding
something that believes the Bible is inerrant, where the love of God is
demonstrated, and where the teaching is good.

Please email me (see address below); all suggestions welcome.

Also, is there *anything* good about Detroit?  I could use a bit of
encouragement.

Thanks.

Thanks, Andy.  I really hadn't expected to run across anyone that
APPRECIATED the blues to the extent that you do.  I love to hear people's
viewpoints on 'appropriate' music...  I was hoping to get someone
who thought that was ANOTHER devil's tool...

You even got a few reasons I hadn't heard yet.

My personal favorite is more gut level than just the musical style;
it has more to do with the 'despair' element.  All Christian music
does not have to be this elated, celebratory stuff; I don't recall
Jesus (or the bible, for that matter) EVER telling me that the 
straight and narrow was also the smooth and easy. 

I mean, just because you're a Christian, you're not immune to emotions.
What Christian hasn't gotten his heart broken?

You're right; Gospel is a direct child of the blues.  

My friend that I mentioned is a blues guitarist and singer; he came to
see my band play and he loved it, because he grew up in the church and 
a lot of his muscial roots were from there.  We were doing 2 or 3 blues 
tunes (and by that I mean in the 12 bar sense...) at the time and he 
loved it. 

So, my next question is, why aren't there more (or any?) Christian
Blues groups??  I would buy every one of their albums.  I would go see 
them at every possible occaision. 

Footnote on blues appreciation. I picked up the Robert Johnson box set
the other day.  Does ANYONE ELSE'S wife leave the room every time you 
put the CD in?  (Poor soul. She thought I was kidding when I said someone
went by the name 'Muddy Waters'...)

If the chorus goes:

There can be no labels in the house, the house of faith

Probably people who like that pop sound.  I sometimes like Steven Curtis
Chapman, though I don't own any of his albums.  My guess is that there's a
very wide cross-section of people who buy the mainstream CCM, because the
music appeals to all sorts of people.  It's populist music.  Same with
Whitney Houston.  It's possible that adolescent girls make up a large
percentage of her fans, but I see her in the record collections of all
kinds of folks.  My mother, for instance.  Me, for another instance.  The
rest of my mom's collection is made up of people like Perry Como and, yes,
Sandi Patti; the rest of my collection runs more along the lines of
Branford Marsalis and Ofra Haza.  

On the other hand, you won't find people like Ofra Haza in too many
collections, nor will you find most of the alternative Christian bands ...
they appeal to a much smaller segment of the population.  Their sound is
more distinctive, less easily palatable, more exotic and "difficult" to
listen to.  Most of us like hamburgers; only a few of us also go out of our
way for phad thai and cous-cous.  

I wonder if the aging process also has something to do with it.  I find
myself -- and this is scary -- more and more attracted to music that's
easy on the ears ... in other words, songs with lovely, melodic tunes and
lyrics that make some sense to me.  Back in college, I had a very high
tolerance for music that required, in retrospect, a lot of effort to
listen to.  The more alternative the better.  I still find myself enjoying an
occasional dose of, say, the Sugar Cubes, but that's about as out there as
I get anymore.  I'm not sure why this is happening.  Maybe it's because my
life is more demanding and difficult, so I don't want my music to be?  Or
maybe it's because I came of age during the heyday of punk, and a person
can only take that stuff for so long.

Yes. Especially if it was a management position. Part of management is 
being "respectable" by the definitions of the people under you (not your
own). It takes a while to earn their respect through actions, so until
then it's good to "look the part."

On the oppositie side, my long hair actually helped during customer meetings
some time back. I had a small pony tail that was considered "very euro" 
(european). This went a long way with the customer perception of us and 
our commitment to the European market. Well, maybe not a loooooong way,
but it helped put them at ease while we talked.

Other songs I can think of that at least sorta qualify as blues songs:

"Perfect Blues", by the 77's, on _Sticks_and_Stones_ and I think on
   another album.

"The Bottom of Life", by Billy Crockett, from _The_Basic_Stuff_ (an
   excellent album, particularly the song "Silent Movie").  This is a great
   song, and it shows off Billy's acoustic guitar skills wonderfully.  I
   have a tape of him doing it in concert at my church a few years ago, and
   it's funny because he spontaneously changes the solo in the middle and
   then when he's done with it he stops and says, "Hmm... I never did a
   do-wacka-do lick on this song before."  Billy is positively wonderful in
   concert.  I once went to a Billy Crockett concert with a strongly
   anti-CCM non-Christian, and after the show she bought a tape and a
   t-shirt.  :-)

"Backsliding Blues", by Petra, from their first album _Petra_.  This is
   a more mellow song, and they seem to have tried to give you the idea
   they were in a club when they recorded it, which (if I know my Petra
   history) makes sense.  It has a good mellow guitar solo in it.

Well, that's all I can think of.  I guess there just isn't that much
out there.  I think what we need is for Russ Taff to do a whole blues
album.  He'd probably be reasonably open to the idea.

Well, I guess that's all for now.

Adios,
  Logan

Editor's note:  "A Friend Like U" in it's acronym form, A.F.L.U.,
is an allusion to A Friend-Like University.  This is a young, but God-
fearing University located somewhere near Lubbock, Texas.  It's
never-ending mission is to promote the use of scripture properly using
either the ONEWAY or KJV translations of the Bible.  Geoff is a 
graduate assistant there, hence the song title.

See, they say that rock rock 'n' roll is bad because the term basiacally
is music for what you do in the back seat of the car.  That was then.  I'd\
Were talkin about the time of Chuck Berry!  I'd
say it all depends on the message.  Music is music.  Mozart was criticized

I definitely agree.  They usually can't handle people who approach
life with a different point of view of Christianity.  But don't
worry too much about it (it seems you don't) they certainly thought
the Christians were drunk on Pentecost, didn't they?  And some
people can't accept that there is a timeto dance as it says in Ecclesiastes.
I work in a Christian bookstore.  I happened to be playing Black Carnation
(which is actually rather mellow.)  After some conversation, the guy
said, "This is Christian?  I think if Jesus walked in here right now,
he wouldn't like it one bit."  Yeah, right buddy.

My POINT is this, in everything, do it unto the Lord.  They don't
like the way you play guitar passionately, then they should tell
David not to dance and Sandi Patti to shut the hell up.  She sings
very passionately (whether I like her music or not.)
