I thought I was going to have a lot of time for link hunting today. I had almost none. But that's a good thing.
Disaster
Joe Jackson has video:
Technically the Carolina coast didn't even get the hurricane. This is only an Edge.
Music
Some pop singer has released a new, I think lacklustre, I might even say whiny, song that begins with the classic lines, "Oh, when shall I see Jesus, and reign with Him above, and shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning?" Originally those words opened one of the great shape-note songs from the early, Methodist-dominated camp meetings, preserved in current hymnals by Seventh-Day Adventists. The thing about the early camp meetings is that historians agree that people from different denominations, who debated doctrine vigorously at other times of year, set up adjacent camps where they politely ignored each other's lectures during their own, but learned each other's songs and exchanged those traditional recipes for "Baptist Pie" and "Methodist Pie." James White (who started out as a Baptist preacher) reportedly used to open SDA meetings by walking up the aisle, singing these words to this tune, beating time on a hymnal. Here is an Adventist prep school choir's version. Canadian Content. Beautiful BC video if you can see it.
