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.

Wes - I love Todd Snyder! "Play a Train Song" is a hell of a tune.

From the eponymous Cigar Box Guitar Blog, a companion review of another critically-acclaimed volume:

"This book has much of value to a Blues playing audience, but would require several edits. Two disciples involving fishermen as ministers are given names playing off of words not used in low society. Each name is mentioned two or three times. There is also a (positive) reference to 'miracles,' and a reference to those who offer negotiable affection as "prostitutes."

Expecting something different from "Southern Gospel Blog"?  Those Southern Baptists aren't even sure people are supposed to be dancing.   :P

Just goes to show how much the reviewers know: Jesus was a subversive.

Last I looked in the Bible, "mojo" was not mentioned in either a positive or negative light.

Nor were bedpans.

However, much space is given to the virtuous values of smiting; putting entire communities, men, women, and children, to the sword; stoning; and those perennial favorites, scourging and crucifixion.

And that's just the first half of the Book.

And, BTW, I'm a believer. CBGs for Christ, anyone?
