Favoriting Sinner's Crossroads with Kevin Nutt: Playlist from March 22, 2012 Favoriting

Kevin Nutt's avatar View Kevin Nutt's profile Favoriting

Scratchy vanity 45s, pilfered field recordings, muddy off-the-radio sounds, homemade congregational tapes and vintage commercial gospel throw-downs; a little preachin', a little salvation, a little audio tomfoolery.

Hey Kevin - How are things?

I'm a little under the weather. Otherwise, fine. Thank you.

Sorry to hear that . . . the music should be good medicine.

You are right! Plus some strong hot coffee....

Is the Pleasant Grove on CD?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:07pm

Yep. This May Be My Last Time Singing on Tompkins Square records. 3 CD set. All killer.

a little bourbon goes a long way too!

if it doesn't help directly, it sure helps to forget

...watch that David....

Dave B:

apropos that the lyric just hit home...

"Ain't room in the church for the drunkard..."

I'll behave.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:21pm
sinner:

Hah! But also we can remember Psalms 104:15 "Blessed is the wine that gladdens men's hearts..." This verse is not in the Baptist Bibles....
  8:21pm
Dafydd:

I hunted for the Pleasant Grove set with no sucess -

I'm bourbon-ing!

I love puns.

ADM:

I'm beginning to think that there's no better A Capella music than in Southern Gospel.

ADM:

There is an ethos here: doing the most with what you have.

Agreed.

3 skunks walk into a church one Sunday. The preacher say to them "I'm sorry but you're going to have to sit in your own pew." How's That?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:32pm
sinner:

Hah! Hah! Love it. This is not a pun, but: What's the difference between a Methodist and a Baptist? A Methodist will say hello to you if you run into him at the liquor store....
  8:33pm
G:

There was a never a Christian or Catholic prohibition on alcohol, just on misbehaviors you may commit while on it.

The Christian anti-alcohol thing in the south started during the great revivals of the early 1800s. Baptist and Methodist cuircuit preachers and revival preachers looked to attract working class southerners by inveighing against the diversions of well-off southerners -- gambling, dancing, drinking, etc. It was a sociological clarion call that had nothing to do with Christian theology or Christian historical practice.

New England prohibition has also comes out of early 19th rigoristic Christian revivals, but within the Congregationalist tradition (not Baptist or Methodist, as in the south).

ADM: That Blue Jay Singer track just kills me with all those vocal colorations.
  8:34pm
Dafydd:

Why don't Baptists have sex standing up? It leads to dancing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:38pm
sinner:

Hey G: Thanks for the post, but Baptists are anti-intellectual too! Sounds like you have read Christine Heyrman's Southern Cross: The Beginnings of the Bible Belt.
  8:39pm
Dafydd:

Why do you have to take two Baptists with you when you go fishing?

Because if you just take one, he'll drink all your beer.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:41pm
sinner:

Dafydd: More hah, Hah!! The fishing joke is my all time favorite Baptist joke.
  8:41pm
Dafydd:

It seems there was this minister who just had all of his remaining teeth pulled and new dentures were being made.

The first Sunday, he only preached 10 minutes.

The second Sunday, he preached only 20 minutes.

But, on the third Sunday, he preached 1 hour 25 minutes.

When asked about this by some of the congregation, he responded this way.

The first Sunday, my gums were so sore it hurt to talk.

The second Sunday, my dentures were hurting a lot.

The third Sunday, I accidentally grabbed my wife's dentures... and I couldn't stop talking!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:44pm
sinner:

As a husband I would like to officially distance myself from the joke of my colleague.......
  8:44pm
Dafydd:

There's a little old Christian lady living next door to an atheist. Every morning the lady comes out onto her front porch and shouts "Praise the Lord!".

The atheist yells back, "There is no God".

She does this every morning with the same result. As time goes on the lady runs into financial difficulties and has trouble buying food. She goes out onto the porch and asks God for help with groceries, then says "Praise the Lord".

The next morning she goes out onto the porch and there's the groceries she's asked for, of course she says "Praise the Lord".

The atheist jumps out from behind a bush and says, "Ha, I bought those groceries - there is no God".

The lady looks at him and smiles, she shouts "Praise the Lord --- not only did you provide for me Lord, you made Satan pay for the groceries!"
  8:51pm
Dafydd:

Thanks for the great music, I hope you enjoyed the jokes. Good night.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:53pm
sinner:

Love the jokes! Of course! Be well.

Dave B:

Meghan's doing a "Seven Sins" theme next week on Underwater Theme Park. I'm having a hard time finding songs for "gluttony"...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:55pm
sinner:

She is? I'll have to listen in..maybe that would be a good time for the bourbon....
  8:56pm
Dave B:

Thanks for the music Kevin. Til next time
  9:05pm
G:

@sinner 8:38pm: Sorry, had to go out for a little bit. I haven't read that monograph, but the rise of anti-alcohol/gambling/dancing in the south 200 years ago is part of standard American history-of-religion books...
