To: 11th Earl of Mar

We can only wish they would be happy with Welk! Think one hundred years before that! We would start with 2 or 3 old standard hymns. Later in the service the praise band would lead in a combination of newer praise songs and some really old southern gospel which the band leader does very well. The choir and certain soloists had started adding the use of accompaniment tracks. That really made them mad. We had tried introducing the motto "If you don't like this song, wait 15 minutes and we will have something you like." Sunday we heard that the praise band is "destroying the church's sound equipment".
Truth is those under 60 are not really welcome in this church.

Believe me, a praise band can destroy sound equipment. There was much complaint after the new sanctuary was built for that service in our church, and the first thing I've heard is the sound system doesn't have decent acoustics, which means people can't hear the pastor speak from the far end of the facility, and worse yet, the choir can't be heard. Of course most of the attendees don't care for the choir.

I have become one of the anti-track choir members at our church.

And when dancers replaces singers, something's fishy.
