This big city guy recorded them. (And that&#39;s how they might see him, because this is a proper country church.) He had decent gear and used it fairly well.\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800 <\/p>\n<p>After a few years of trying, in 2005 he figured out that tiny, little no A\/C church. His recording sounds like an amphitheater with a 450-member national choral arrangement in four part harmony. (Mind you, this is my phone recording a CD playback from my car stereo.) Then the guy included just about all of my favorite hymns from the book on his CD. It was worth every, I dunno, $5 he wanted for it. \u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800\u2800 <\/p>\n<p>Track six is I&#39;m Winging My Way Back Home, which has six syllables I sing better than anything else in the 750-plus song catalog.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#39;t correctly sing any other part of the song right in this arrangement, but those few notes &#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;\">A post shared by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kennydsmith\/\" style=\" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px;\" target=\"_blank\"> Kenny Smith<\/a> (@kennydsmith) on <time style=\" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;\" datetime=\"2017-11-03T22:34:41+00:00\">Nov 3, 2017 at 3:34pm PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async defer src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>And here&#8217;s my Twitter tale of the day:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A quick tale about an experience that was funny right away and funnier over time because of friends, starring <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SDWesq?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SDWesq<\/a> and his lovely wife. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YanGwNkEK1\">pic.twitter.com\/YanGwNkEK1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Kenny Smith (@kennysmith) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kennysmith\/status\/926623333583589376?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 4, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>And follow me on <a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kennysmith\">Twitter<\/a> and <a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kennydsmith\/\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I put something fun on Instagram, and something funny on Twitter, today.
