Thread Name: Amazing Grace to different tune
Subject: RE: Amazing Grace to different tune
Took my mother to her early church service today. It was my first live exposure to a Sunday service with a "praise band," complete with screen with the words on it

At the end of the service, the associate pastor invited all to stand and sing "Amazing Grace."
As I helped my mother rise to her feet she said, "You aren't going to like the way we sing "Amazing Grace."

They sang the verses to the Eagle's "Peaceful, Easy Feeling," using the same chorus the Eagle's sing, except they substitute "holy" for "solid" ground.

Ma knows her daughter's taste in music.

Don't get me wrong. The band is good.
