I began to watch "O, Brother, Where Art Thou?" a few years ago on a long airplane flight but I ended up watching a dinosaur movie with my son. There was no SG or BG music in that movie. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-60227818417346335272008-01-30T19:14:00.000-06:002008-01-30T19:14:00.000-06:00Bluegrass and southern gospel are different. My h...Bluegrass and southern gospel are different. My husband could probably tell you more than I can about the differences but I do know that the instruments and style of playing are different. Some bluegrass actually has a celtic sound to it.<BR/><BR/>If you've heard any of the music from the movie "O, Brother, Where Art Thou?", then you've heard bluegrass. <BR/><BR/>BTW, those "Growing in Grace" podcasts are great! I would highly recommend them. You know, it's funny but one of the hosts reminds me of you. <BR/><BR/>AidaAidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885702269506142727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-39820749495848572502008-01-29T21:33:00.000-06:002008-01-29T21:33:00.000-06:00Hi Aida,My thoughts on CCM have really moved all a...Hi Aida,<BR/><BR/>My thoughts on CCM have really moved all around the spectrum over the years and I think I'm sorta kinda more settled these days but yet the biz is always changing and so I'm sure my thoughts will too. I've also begun listening to less music in the past few years, also due in large part to great messages that I've downloaded onto my mp3 player, but there are still times I crank my music up! By the way, for some reason that "Growing in Grace" podcast sounds somewhat familiar. ;)<BR/><BR/>Bluegrass music... and southern gospel (are they the same? I don't think so but I admit I'm ignorant as far as the classifications go)... Anyway, I've heard some of those types of music from time to time and I've never been able to keep tuned in, both because of the lyrics and the style of music. :)<BR/><BR/>I do listen to all kinds of music. Sometimes, like you, I will listen to songs I like and tune out the lyrics. I do this with legalistic CCM songs as well as <I>some</I> mainstream rock and pop songs that have "poor" lyrics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-9345527722696288412008-01-29T16:20:00.000-06:002008-01-29T16:20:00.000-06:00Cogratulations, Joel. You're famous!Your comments...Cogratulations, Joel. You're famous!<BR/><BR/>Your comments about CCM music were interesting. I've really done a major shift in the last couple of years regarding music. Basically, I don't listen to much music of any kind. <BR/><BR/>I used to attend a fellowship that was really big on praise and worship music. The pastor was a musician so that was a biggie with him. As a result, I was really interested in praise music but that wasn't really me. <BR/><BR/>As Father has freed me to be me, I've found that I just don't listen to a lot of music. I'd much rather listen to podcasts. There's a good one that I really enjoy listening to named "Growing in Grace."<BR/><BR/>I do occasionally listen to music but I really prefer show tunes or easy listening. <BR/><BR/>Hubby is really involved with bluegrass music. If you think CCM music is heavily laced with legalism, you should try bluegrass music. Sometimes, it's pretty hard for me to take but, when we get together, I just enjoy the people and sing along if I like the music and the beat and try to ignore the words. <BR/><BR/>AidaAidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885702269506142727noreply@blogger.com
