I’ve been changing a few details here and there, but yes, this is based on something that really happened. I sung at my friend’s wedding, and his dear grandmother came over to us, complimented our talent, and then asked why we were ruining her grandson’s wedding by playing the Devil’s Music.
She felt our jazzy rendition of “Come Rain or Come Shine” was way too loud. Here’s an actual recording of us playing. It’s not a fantastic recording — basically just audio picked up by a video camera– but yes, that’s me singing, and Dumo [aka Honk] on saxophone! It is a little long, but see if you can catch the point where the groom’s father came over at grandma’s behest and signaled us to turn it down!

You know I think that lady has Multiple Man’s powers, because somehow she can be at every church at the same time…
It’s kind of sad, isn’t it?
Bwahahah Devil’s music! I remember being speechless when she approached us about it. I had no idea what to say to her!
PS. Can you e-mail me this mp3? I seem to have lost my copy of this song.
Try clicking the “download” link under the player (it only shows when you click play).
I also have a shorter version, but it cuts off right when you start your solo, so I figure you want this 8 minute epic.
I remember singing a well known hymn to an African-themed soundtrack, and I was told I spoiled the song by using that non-Christian music. I asked what she type of music she expected the African Salvationists used to praise God, and was told they should do what God said was proper. I reminded her that those people were Arabic and Hebrew. She still claimed that brass band music was the only way.
