Need I point out: So was Wesley? Probably why Methodist churches to this
day have such a strong musical tradition. And, btw, my point about how
good the music in Methodist services is (at least in my somewhat limited
experience) shouldn't be taken as a comment on the selection so much as
on the performance standards of choir, accompanist, random soloists,
etc.

Now, that may be the single scariest thing about GW I have ever heard.
Is he also a Sherman-Yankovic fan, we must wonder?
