Subject: RE: Disappearance of communal singing in US
Good points, Blues=Life (especially about the beer).
As an agnostic/atheist who only goes to church to sing, I've often wondered how the hymns were chosen. Often, they seem to be meaningless shapeless things that no one in the congregation either knows or cares about.
When people know the songs, they don't mumble, they "make a joyful noise". Isn't that what it's supposed to be about?
