Handmade Music Factory - Not for the God-fearing

Wow! I've just read a review of Mike Orr's Handmade Music Factory on http://www.southerngospelblog.com/archives/14370, and while it's a positive review, I was amazed to read this paragraph:

" This book has much of value to a Christian homeschooling audience, but would require several edits. Two handmade guitars involving bedpans as resonators are given names playing off of words not used in polite company. Each name is mentioned two or three times. There is also a (positive) reference to “mojo,” and a reference to those who make their own instruments as “subversive.”

Each to their own.

Comment by Turkeychicken on March 12, 2012 at 12:51am: I love the Snider references, I am his biggest fan (spoken like a teenage girl.... lol) His song writing is outstanding. I probably play 20 or so of his songs, including Doublewide, Train Song and CCRWRSWAM. I can connect with his songs more than anything else. He has a new album out, just released last week.

Comment by Ron "Oily" Sprague on March 9, 2012 at 1:25pm: Punch makes a blue box??!!

Comment by Jeff Labonte on March 9, 2012 at 12:59pm: JUST DON'T DRINK THE BLUE PUNCH!

Comment by Ron "Oily" Sprague on March 9, 2012 at 12:57pm: That's why they call me Suckerpunch: I'm a sucker for punch.

>:-E

Comment by Ron "Oily" Sprague on March 9, 2012 at 12:48pm: There's another cult with punch??!!

Comment by Jeff Labonte on March 9, 2012 at 12:32pm: Welcome to the cult my friends! Even us dastardly heathens need some place to hang out. Then again, considering the source, it appears to be a case of the pot calling the kettle black. It seems to me that there is a passage in the good book about not judging-lest you be judged. It's a shame that the reviewer missed that sermon! (I'm sure his wife caught it while he and his compeers were outside the church sipping a lil corn squeezings waiting for their womenfolk to fix sunday dinner.
