  startingover

  Someone mentioned Van Morrison. One time I was driving late at night listening to one of those stations that plays obscure album tracks and they played this song. I could tell it was Van Morrison so I did a little research and discovered this song.

  Kingdom Hall

  So glad to see you
  So glad you're here
  Come here beside me now
  We can clear inhibition away
  All inhibitions
  Throw them away
  And when we dance like this
  Like we've never been dancin' before
  
  Chorus:
  Oh, they were swingin'
  Down at Kingdom Hall
  Oh, bells were ringin'
  Down at the Kingdom Hall
  A choir was singin'
  Down at the Kingdom Hall
  Hey, liley, liley, liley
  Hey, liley, liley, low
  Do do do do do do, do
  Do do do do do do
  Do do do do do do, do
  Do do do do do do
  
  Good body music
  Brings you right here
  Free flowin' motion now
  When we're shakin' it out on the floor
  Good rockin' music
  Down in your shoes
  And when we dance like this
  Like we've never been dancin' before
  
  Repeat Chorus
  
  Down at the Kingdom Hall
  They were havin' a party
  They were havin' a ball
  Bells were ringing out
  And the choir was singin'
  Hey, liley, liley, liley
  Hey, liley, liley, low
  Do do, do do, do do, do do
  Sugar was there
  Did you see Sugar
  Down at the Kingdom Hall
  Sugar was tough

  I don't know if this guy is a JW, but he died and is a well known artist. His memorial service will be at a Kingdom Hall.

  Joe Pinckney

  HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) - Joe Pinckney, an artist known for his paintings of the Gullah culture, has died. He was 75. Pinckney died Tuesday from kidney failure, his daughter Ellice Lewis said. The Gullah descended from African slaves who settled on isolated sea islands and marshy areas from Jacksonville, Fla., to Wilmington, N.C., in the 19th century. Pinckney painted his first Gullah piece in the late 1970s, becoming interested in the subject when he heard native islanders talk about how the culture developed because it was isolated. "I think it was an extraordinary kind of art, because Joe did such a great job in portraying the Gullah culture and all of the traditions of the Gullah culture," said former Penn Center director Emory Campbell. Pinckney was born in New York City. His father moved the family to South Carolina when Pinckney was 10. He returned to New York City and won two scholarships, allowing him to study at the New York School of Industrial Art and the Manhattan School of Printing.

  AK - Jeff

  Why so many artists? Could it be that the fantasy world of the dubland fits in nicely with the high level fantasy/art that fills thier heads anyway?

  Just a thought.
