We all know that the overall goal of sacrament meeting is to have as somber an atmosphere as possible. Grim resolve is the highest spiritual state. We all know that. And I would find gospel choir music an affront, and frankly speaking, Satanic.

Yes, the devil and his minions rejoice when hands are clapped, smiles are had, and voices are raised.
my wife tells a good story. in her ward growing up, a kid is having his mission farewell. for the musical number, the fellow will play 'i am a child of god' on the guitar. bishop says that sounds good. so, when it's time, the fellow goes and gets his guitar from behind the first row of choir seats, plugs it in, and plays. A very nice, reverent rendition she recalls.
that's one of the videos i want to watch from the heaven video store. especially to see the people's faces.

MikeWaters is an unknown quantity at this point

That reminds me of when I was teaching seminary class as a senior in high school (to make up for tardies) and I lit my triple combination on fire. The real teacher got really antsy.

I was teaching about meshack, shackrack, and tobedwego. I used rubbing alcohol, and my point was that my book was unharmed. I think my classmates were quite touched.

One of my friends growing up was Catholic. He played the electric guitar for hymn accompaniment every week.
