didn't we just do a topic about just singing along with a song and not knowing the words? except we all do it to the radio, not accapella...

I thought most of African Americans had rhythm and soul?
I'll have to get on my friend who is black, and tell him that I can now prove him wrong!! He is always saying we can't sing and dance to save our lives! I will show him this link on youtube and see what he says about that.
Oh my, this is classic! Some of the comments were funny too, I was rolling laughing at them. LOL

Sounds like he was hitting the communion wine!
Crack Pipes and Church don't mix.

I think this fella has some developmental problems... if you watch his right hand, it's bent at the wrist and faces inwards... that's a little sign of brain damage. That's why I won't make fun of him, but I do have an interesting story (yeah, I know, what are the chances... )

The other night Mama Corn was picking at Uncle Tim's Open Mic, which was, for the evening, outdoors behind St. Pat's School in Newry, around a campfire. We'd played a few songs, and we see a very drunk dude walking across the yard, carrying a chipboard case. He comes up, opens the case and attempts to pick along, but couldn't seem to get the rhythm of what we were playing. After that song he says, " Bass-guy, play me DUM-dum-DUM-dum in the key of A!" Brett had no idea what he was talking about, but I got that he wanted a root-5 back & forth, characteristic of many old country songs. "Do you guys know any Waylon?" Oh, I know where he's going with this. "Good Hearted Woman." That's usually in D, then modulates to E, but hey, it is a jam, and it's his turn to drive. We get up to speed, and he starts the first line, only to break a string on his guitar. We just hung on that A-chord, for a few seconds, then went on without him, which pissed him off to no end, but we weren't about to play an A-chord until he changed a string, for which he had no spare, anyway. So, we finished that song, and he attempted to play the next song sans a G-string... Amazing Grace. He said, "I don't know this one," and I joked ,"If you don't, you're a heathen." He threatened to kick the dobro out of my hands. We all laughed.
I did manage to play another song with him as he played Bruce's Martin (which I personally would have never allowed, but Brucie's the nicest guy ever)... the dude sang Randy Travis' "Storms of Life," at the top of his lungs. The party broke up like turning on a kitchen light in Calcutta, the roaches just scatter. Then he offered me a position in a band, as he had lots of jobs, he said. In front of my other bandmates. We all laughed at that, too.
When this guy was getting ready to pick with us, he said, "... Sorry, the crystal meth kinda scrambled my brain!"
I thought he was joking at that point. Now, I'm not so sure. --->JMS
