Or, can she play “Upside Down Orange Blossom Special?””

‘Cause if she’s gonna make a livin’, she’s gotta put on a good show!!!

[Tell It Right]

Years ago I spent a couple of weeks touring Israel with a friend and his church group. I was in Jerusalem on a Saturday night (which is the end of the Sabbath and when the city comes alive). A young lady in a wheelchair set up a boom box and an electric fiddle and started to play some beautiful music in an almost violin-ish manner.

Of course, with the Saturday night post-sabbath party atmosphere she eventually changed gears, had her boom box play a fast beat, and threw down some pop/rock melodies from the past few decades. At that point I turned to my elder friend (he was in his 70's and I in my 40's at the time) and said it'd be funny if she played Orange Blossom Special. As God is my witness, a few minutes later she played it. And it was awesome!

But not as good as listening to a Japanese children's choir practice Awesome God (Rich Mullins) in Japanese. They let us in our party sing along with them in English.
