The revival of certain memories can be inspirationally profound and might produce the odd effect. For those acid droppers of that Hare Krishna bygone era . . . Theatre of the Absurd for some laughs (as long as it's done up smartly).

Well, now that y'all have been purified (somewhat) by these spirituals (praise be me him) there may be some non-Christian folk here who need a little somtun else.

Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp covering Lennon's Isolation live at the Royal Albert Hall this 30 May 2022.

Too bad it's brass and percussion only. Otherwise that ensemble is missing Johnny Depp on guitar clad in his full Pirates Of The Carribean garb.

I don't recognize the tune but I assume it's homegrown.

If that song don't make ya laugh ya ain't got no sense of humour. Find Jesus and ask him fer some.

Country Joe McDonald with Holy Roller off of his '81 Into The Fray LP.

Great story! Now I'm reminded of a story about what were called holy rollers down south. They were a special breed of southern Methodists who would engage in dancing, shaking or other boisterous movements perceiving themselves as being under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Outsiders would derisively describe people literally rolling on the floor in an uncontrolled manner. Back in '73 I found myself in Virginia. An acquaintance of mine once took me to the home of one of these holy rolling Methodists. Mind you that this is '73, and even at that time long hair on guys was a common sight down south. There were two younger boys in the family who were sporting crew cuts. The entire family appeared to have walked out of a 50's edition of Life magazine. Nazareth with Holy Roller which wasn't released until their '75 Greatest Hits album.

Correction. The above is off of her '65 Pastel Blues album. Here's the version from the Village Gate album. This is more up tempo.

This theme has a threefold purpose. Firstly, for everyone's musical enjoyment. Secondly, to provide a playlist which one can listen to on any given Sunday and thus be able to skip attending mass at church. And thirdly to recruit new posters to this thread, hopefully reaching the famed chorus at the "Do you believe in God and why?" eternal thread.
