    There may be a book you can read d a, I am sure you may be able to find one somewhere, can’t remember it’s name though, I believe there are various versions and interpretations of it.

    Thanks dusk.
    It would have to be a Choir, or traditional church. Some places don't know what a hymn book is, only 'Choruses' on screen instead. One church did not sing any of my offerings, It was not where they were "at", I was informed. Not just because of that, but I've parted company with them now. I felt a bit 'what the f....'.Last word Fido won't let me say!
    They have a nerve. They had their own squabbles in their 'informal Choir'. A musician there, I cruelly refer to as 'Mad Matt'. He'll break that keyboard one day, hammering away at it'.
    You knows of JB! Starts with B..... (Bible) and a Concordance is handy too. In parts of the Gospels mainly.

    Thanks Orchidee. Since commenting i have done some research in JtB and found the usual several unreliable and contradictory fictions about him, even claiming he and JC were relatives. I use the word fiction because with so many different versions they can't be fact can they.
    I sympathise with your experience of that churches attitude toward your music. One of the unfortunate realities of the anglican church is that it contains a host precious attitudes that things must be done in a way that is acceptable to the current face that fits and a new idea is heresy.

    I can't disbelieve the Bible now. Or even - I can't disbelieve the Gospels in the Bible. I feel I would start dismantling my faith if I did.
    I've ranted in an e-mail TO you - not ABOUT you! lol. It's not Anglican, but some other group turned me down!

    Jerry Reynolds - if you read ALL the comments you'd see i already read up on this guy. Each one of the gospels tells a different fiction about him.... well can't be fact if theyre all different can it lol. Wikipedia has plenty of info about him.... some claim he and JC were relatives.

    It's no use! I only add water to tipples. I'm the 'Phantom Whisky/other Tipple Waterer' on 'ere. No chance of me getting plastered, nor those who share in my drinks! lol.

    I had warned Orchi about his water tippling but as in the past he never listens, I told him not to point up in 1066 to ask Harold what that was up in the sky. Did he listen!! No not at all!

    Thanks for the invitation orch - I've done both at times depending on the situation. But no thanks - if I go fruity in this heat, it will be all over, baby . It's all right for you - get overheated you can go out and roll in the snow or wet grass or...whatever.
