Inspired by our friend brunswick's post a couple days ago presenting the Nashville-style Christian music of The Kendalls, I thought I would add a few other aspects of the genre. These are just a small sample of how odd this category can be.
LIFE OF THE GAY ESKIMO by Henry Shavings Family. Not what the immediate impression of the title might lead you to expect, Henry Shavings, his wife Hilma and their daughter Pauline, accompanied by the parlor piano bring old-timey country sensibilities and their brand of harmonizing to original Christian devotional songs from the Alaskan wilderness. Possibly one of the strangest albums I own.
MARCY TIGNER...TROMBONE. Marcie's trombone is accompanied on this album by harp, violin, and pipe organ. This quartet works through a selection of Victorian Era hymns and may be one of the few trombone recordings that can put you to sleep.
ALBIE PEARSON with the Ralph Carmichael Orchestra. For those who don't remember Albie Pearson, he was a former Rookie of the Year and several time All-Star baseball player in the 1950s and early-60s. After retiring he became an ordained minister and actually did some good in this world. Somewhere in that transition he recorded this album of then contemporary hymns. It was his only musical appearance.

Im not rushing out to find any of these :)
I think you have a seriously quirky taste in music Artfoot!
My question is, at what point do you decide time can be better spent than listening? lol
A life without music is a life without soul. Me - I want to hear it all.
Is it just me, or is something a little 'off' about the look on Marcy's face...almost like she's getting ready to wrap that trombone around somebody's neck and choke 'em...?? <lolol> But anyways, curiosity got the better of me so I went to see if any tracks from that album might be online. No luck with that, but I did find this "CAUTION - you'll never be able to *un-hear* it" little gem...? ;-)

That's the spirit Thomas! No matter what message we attach or what we play it on, it is really about the rhythms.
Thank you Anything - that was appropriately bizarre. I had no awareness of that aspect of Ms. Tigner's persona - and to think she would do this in church for kids. She plays the trombone in its upper register as well.
You're most welcome artfoot -- glad you 'enjoyed' that, I guess?! <lol> I was actually genuinely curious about her trombone music as I used to play the trombone myself, and now being in the organ business I'm intrigued about how that 'quartet' of instruments might have worked. (well, that plus your 'trombone that could put you to sleep' comment...? <lol>)
