Some Holiday Cheer

by Todd Brown, December 2, 2004 6:32 AM


Okay, this has nothing to do with anything, filmwise, but it makes me laugh pretty hard ...

A friend of a friend - yes, it's one of those stories - works for a local religious broadcaster, the one where they shoot Huntley Street, and as part of their job they get to screen audition tapes for singers who want to perform, live, on a show which broadcasts on national television. This is one such tape.

It starts off slow, but just wait until you hit the crescendo in the middle of the song. The emotion! So true! So pure!

i actually quite liked it. kind of like bob dylan / shane mcgowan "crooning" more than "singing"... slurred and odd. cool. funny too.

You are all welcome. It was I, Bart Wang, who shared this gem with Todd. You can now shower me with thanks and gifts of thanks (preferably in denominations of tens and above). This guy is a genius - and he has no freakin' clue that this is all over the web.

That just made my morning. My co-workers came in to my office to see why I was laughing so hard and had the pleasure of experiencing that crescendo with me. It reminds me of all the Sunday mornings I spent in my youth listening to members of the congregation preform the "special music" to tape recorded backgrounds. Great stuff.
