"trouble in the Amen Corner" Posted by Bob Robyn on February 3, 2008, 9:13 am 70.15.97.153 I just came home from church, put on XM Radio's "Willie's Place" hoping for some gospel music and they played the above cut of Jim's. First the message has a real meaning for me right now. Secondly it was good to hear Jim and actually hear his name mentioned by a DJ! People don't know what they are missing. That voice, whether singing or talking, could sooth the quills off a porcupine. Thank you God, again for Jim Reeves. Bob  Post a Response

Those songs are as familiar to me as family. --Previous Message-- : I just came home from church, put on XM : Radio's "Willie's Place" hoping : for some gospel music and they played the : above cut of Jim's. : : First the message has a real meaning for me : right now. : : Secondly it was good to hear Jim and : actually hear his name mentioned by a DJ! : People don't know what they are missing. : That voice, whether singing or talking, : could sooth the quills off a porcupine. : : Thank you God, again for Jim Reeves. : : Bob :  Post a Response

Another one which I feel would be appropriate for Father's Day would be Teach Me to Pray. Any Comments? Jay Perry  Post a Response

Re: "trouble in the Amen Corner" Posted by Bob Robyn on February 10, 2008, 5:26 pm, in reply to "Re: "trouble in the Amen Corner"" 70.15.97.153 Jay, Many years ago I sang "Teach Me How to Pray" in my church. It's a wonderful piece of music that I had forgotten about Trouble is a great number too, although I am not sure what the "verpry's apirvation" is, it works. Another one to consider is "Suppertime", but I, personally could not get through that one without breaking down.

Re: "trouble in the Amen Corner" Posted by Geoff Simons on February 10, 2008, 7:00 pm, in reply to "Re: "trouble in the Amen Corner"" 124.169.155.43 Bob, I believe the phrase is "vestry's approbation" in other words with the approval of the clergy.

Re: "trouble in the Amen Corner" Posted by Bob Robyn on February 11, 2008, 5:32 pm, in reply to "Re: "trouble in the Amen Corner"" 70.15.97.153 Dear Geoff, Well I am caught with egg on MY face. (I'm a school teacher.) I knew want it meant in context, but I didn't know the word and had not heard it used elsewhere, so I thought it was a bit of poetic license on the songwriter's part. Thanks.
