Oh... now... see... that was totally uncalled for.

And... on the subject of Big Daddy Weave...

Since he sings praises to the King I would have to rate him higher than Lyn Skyn.

Yes, I meant Scottsboro. You blink your eyes going through and you missed it.

Yes,
The Blind Boys from Alabama are a black Gospel group.
I tried to embed a YouTube sample but couldn't.
They're famous around the world.

Scottsdale? Huh, I believe thats in Arizona. Scottsboro is in Alabama. Home of the world renowned "Unclaimed Baggage"

The country group, Alabama, is from Ft. Payne. Right here in DeKalb County. Randy Owens, Jeff Cook and Teddy Gentry still live here. Don't know about Mark Hendron.


Theres a sign going into Centre, Alabama thats says "Welcome to Centre and Weiss Lake- The Crappie (pronounced "CROP-py", as in the fish), Capital of the World". That sign cracks me up. I wonder how many non-anglers get the wrong impression of Centre when they read that sign!

Aman Brother!

Sweet Home Alabama has nothing on this:


Big Daddy Weave Completely Free Lyrics


Broken and poured out for the love of His creation
God paid a debt that He didn't owe
Bearing my pain for not one was His equal
And wearing my shame so that I could know him

He gave us all He had to give
So that we could truly live
So let's give all we have to Him
So that we can be completely free

And as they placed the thorns on His brow
As they drove the nails into His hands and His feet
He looked past the moment
To where we are now
And gave us the victory
From what seemed His defeat

He said here's my body
It's broken in two
Here is my blood let it cover you
All that I have is now yours to receive
Payment in full so that you could be free

Oh without a doubt completely
So that we can be completely free
