This could easily move down to the BS section, Joe. Apparently our sourGuest would appreciate it there. I wouldn't want to live a life where I thought Joy was kitsch (I thought kitsch was ceramic flying pig salt shakers, myself.)

I just picked up a Four Lads Cd of their singles, as a follow-up to a music thread about the song Sweet Harmony Brown. One of their hits in the 50's was a song titled Oh That Would Be Joyful! For some reason, there seems to be a lot of more joyful chorale and clssical music (perhaps because much of it was associated with worship.) Another joyful song that comes to mind is Donavan's Colors. Thank God I'm A Country Boy by John Denver would make the list, as would several other songs of his (even though he may be considered terminally sappy by some.)
