Bluegrass music in general.

[tkwhite]

I have a concern as it pertains to bluegrass music. I have noticed that there are certain groups who incorporate, what they consider, Christian songs into their secular music. Can anyone give any insights into this?

Re: Bluegrass music in general.

It depends on how the words "bluegrass" and "Christian" are defined. Not everyone uses the words in the same way. Again, different generations will use a word to signify quite different styles. "Swing" and "R&B" are two instances of that.

Do you have an example you could share?

MitzaLizalor,

Well, I guess I'll use Dailey & Vincent, Rhonda Vincent & The Rage as a pair of examples since they are rather popular (Why I'll never know). What I am curious about is they claim to glorify Jesus in their music, but, yet they sing secular music. I, for one, don't really buy it, but, that's just my worthless thought. This goes for different groups that are out there say Bill Monroe, Doyle Lawson, people from that time period. I don't know if this helps or not.

I enjoy bluegrass too. There are many bluesgrass gospel groups.

Ugh, I can't stand bluegrass. Obnoxious hick music on primitive instruments. Give me a Village People tune anytime.

I've been analyzing the stuff called "bluegrass" for a while to watch Satan's influence. You posters are correct in observing there are performers pretending to be Christian.

But, there is a new and even more disturbing development. The music has a strong tradition of being performed by males--nary a female performing it anywhere.

Now, besides Rhonda Vincent their are young women stealing the music from the men who developed it. And, these younger women do not bother with the pretense of Christian themes. The worst one I'm studying these days is named Sierra Hull:

Re: Bluegrass music in general.

You do understand the Village People are not Christian right? There is a really great thread. Now my sweet friend Mrs. White gave a few examples of what is actual Christian Music. Listen to the likes of Jake Hess & Vestal Goodman, and the like. You'd be amazed! Trust me!

You seem to be following me around quite a lot Mr. White. I think this one is in love with me...can't seem to get enough upchuck.

Oh, how very true, dear Mr. White! Those village savages will not see the Kingdom of , except for when they stand before the in judgement! And, then, they shall hear the words that will send them to their eternal home in the fires of , which is exactly where they belong:

Matthew 25:41 "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels"

Now, as for real music that brings glory to , yes, you are quite right about Jake Hess and Vestal, and l am ever so happy that you agree. Here is a lovely song that always brings a blessing to my old heart, and it is my prayer that you, too, shall feel the presence of when you hear this!

Instead of worrying about me, You need to be worrying more about your Salvation. You're the one bringing this unwanted attention to yourself! Oh and I do have a newsflash......God is also following you too! Do bear that in mind!

Re: Bluegrass music in general.

Thank you for that lovely music video, Mrs. White.

Gospel choirs are an image of life.




Painted eyebrows were a trend 30 years ago.






I hope this guy had Hucker insurance when he got hit by a golf club.







I think this one crapped his pants and woke up with a start.









Isn't it awfully nice to not know when the head ends and neck begins?





Is that Vincent Price?








Is that Elaine Benes from Sienfield?






She's the prettiest one in this gaggle.









Lastly, every gospel choir needs a token negress. (Is that Ron Jeremy behind her?)

When Vestal sings it is surely the sound of angels. Notice, no blue grass banjos or mandolins when she sings.

I have listened to the Goodmans for many years. They are the best around! Thank you for this!

Mr. Hucker! Please! Here we are, trying our very best as servants of the Almighty, to do what ever we can, to take your salvation needs seriously, to teach you what you need to know about escaping the fires of and, yet, you continue to waste your time by making silly statements such as those above!

I'm afraid that I shall not be having a good report when I get back to Sister Priscilla! Now, then, are you truly desirous to seek the and to forsake your hideous sins and to serve , or is this just a frivolous game, a bit of trivial pursuit, on your behalf?

Very appropriate to scold Mr. Hucker, Sister White. A couple of those he made light of are from the Jordanaires, a favorite quartet of Jesus.
