Now THIS is the sort of church service I can dig!

It's a fact that Sunday morning is still the most "segregated" time in America.
But I don't think it's all about racism anymore. Black folks would just get bored shitless by the music at most "white" churches. So do a lot of white folks, for that matter. :sleepy:

I usually try to find the black church services on Sunday moanin' TV. Much more energetic, spiritually uplifting, and entertaining.

Hymn Lining reminds me of Othar Turner...purveyor of African American Fife and Drum music....another African American art form that is on the verge of extinction.
This is from 1978:

Some African styles are dying out but some like soukouss are alive and well. I love soukouss and girls look sexy dancing to it in bikinis. I mess around trying to play that style on my Strat.

Depends on the church. Some churches have mixed congregations of every type of people you could imagine.

Screw the boys choir. In my church we would serve weed and rum as the sacrament and this would be the entertainment.
