Subject: RE: Lyr Add: The Ball Game (Sister Wynona Carr)
Thats where I heard it. We get it in the UK on digital broadcasts about 18 months after the US broadcast. I record and listen maybe a month later. Hence the timing.

Actually I first became aware of the song in NZ. The singer there told of this achetypal gospel song about baseball. He did say it was only the quality of the song that stopped it being corny. It stuck in my mind for 5 or more years when I was prompted to write a gospel parody myself. I was pleased with the result.
And pleasantly surprised to hear it sung with such honesty and love for the genre.

Win Win.

And I LOVE ketchup too...........
