Big day today. Bought a "record player," also known as a turntable these days. Here is what happened.....
Yesterday Buddy and I came home and there was a package on the step in a very narrow square box. Buddy said, "What is this?" I said, "Oh that must be the record I just ordered." Buddy said, "You ordered a record? We don't even have a record player."
Today we have a record player. It has no speakers, but it came with some hook 'em up things on the back of it, and we plugged them into our radio/cd player and we have music! Beautiful music.
I had been looking for a particular album for many, perhaps 20 years and I thought the name of it was "Fool's Gold." Turns out to just have been a cut....an excellent cut, which I remember, but nevertheless, just a cut. The album name is Rebel To The Wrong.
Listen up all you Bluegrass fans....the Bluegrass Festival is going on, starting tomorrow in Guthrie, Oklahoma....and you talk about Bluegrass, well if you look in the Dictionary under the word Bluegrass, you will see Dennis Agajanian's picture! Not only that but he is a CHRISTIAN bluegrass man. If I thought he was going to be there, I would get in my car, leave in the morning for Edmond, pick up Amy and head for Guthrie....then head back to Arkansas for Kyle's wedding, and then back to Oklahoma again to pick up Amy and head to Dallas to see Joseph Prince....and then back to Oklahoma to visit more with Amy, see my family, head to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma to see a friend I have known for about 7 or so years, but I have never met her and another friend, the one and only Jospeph Bias, (I think he goes by Joseph today, but he is still Joe to me) and then back to Nashville....whew I am exhausted to even think about it.....but, as usual, I digress, I was talking about Dennis Agajanian!
This album was cut in 1981, I think, in Waco, Texas! The cuts should be played today on every Christian Radio station in America. It is almost prophetic! It will also make you jump up and down....want to two step, cowboy cha cha, waltz across Texas and worship! Now that is quite a bit for one little record album to deliver....but this one does!
We have a Church here in Nashville, called The Cowboy Church....lots of my country and western singer friends are there a lot....think I may go and see if Dennis is ever there.....
Digress again....the album....almost prophetic! Especially a cut called "Child's Cry." It was certainly off to a very good start in 1981....but is full blown today. We called them "latch key kids,"...they have become so much more than that. And this cut, warns of it....but, as usual, people didn't listen....it is a world of things....bigger houses, bigger televisions, bigger cars....bigger everything....bigger Day Care Centers....bigger before and after school programs for the children.....gotta work....gotta have bigger house...gotta - gotta - gotta....and somewhere in the midst of all this getting, no one hears the "Child's Cry."
