Let's hear it for the Sallys
I see there is a Community Pricing offering of the works of William Booth. The Salvation Army which he founded does good work throughout the world.
| General William Booth Enters into Heaven |
| Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931) |
| (To be sung to the tune of The Blood of the Lamb with indicated instrument) |

Actually, I have done that. I remember in school hearing a recording of Vachel Lindsey reading his own poem—quite an experience.

That was a few years before my time, but I understand that you were the one beating the bass drum. [;)]

He certainly had colorful language:
'Big-voiced lasses made their banjos bang,
Tranced, fanatical, they shrieked and sang'I just picked up my new 1920s banjo repro in Phoenix ... tranced, fanatical and shrieking! Definitely loud.

George: "I see there is a Community Pricing offering of the works of William Booth. The Salvation Army which he founded does good work throughout the world."
'Tis true! William Booth was a spiritual giant, and he had much of the spirit of Christ upon him.
I have an old recording of William Booth made not long before his death in 1912. The sound quality of the recording is scratchy, as it was made on very early and crude recording device. But you can feel the passion and compassion for the poor in his voice. It moves me every time I listen to it.
(I collect early recording, especially those I can find related to the Christian faith.)
I will have to get this collection.

So you're a rock drummer ! I'll need to introduce you to classical music. [:D]

Okay, I'll play name-dropper. I have a letter Vachel Lindsey wrote to my grandfather. My Mother used to recite the now-politically incorrect Congo as she made bread.

Reminds me of a time my brother and I were quite mean to a cousin ... unfortunately we were all very much adults but we'd been provoked. Mom - honest she provoked us.
We had classical music on the car stereo. When she asked it if was long-hair music we responded in unison "oh, no, we don't listen to heavy metal".[:D]

When I hear the phrase Salvation Army, I can't help thinking of a very irreverent and silly song we used to sing in the band in college:
"Salvation Army, Salvation Army,
Put a nickel in the drum, save another drunken bum.
Salvation Army, Salvation Army,
Put a nickel in the drum, and you'll be saved."I know they do a lot of good, and that's not a very nice song to laud their work, but I can't help it that it's lodged in my memory.

I was a fan of classical music between the Country and Southern Gospel phases of my musical taste.

We will need to brainwash you to clean that out of your memory banks.
