CS-
COOL - cuz you keep changing your story anyway.
Which one should we go with?
The "My Mama force fed me this stuff"
or the
" I hated the choir so much- I wanted revenge?"
jk there dude, jk..
I do find it interesting that a number of us (me too) sort of got drawn back in through SOTH.
I actually thought the cover art was great- I thought:
Well - this couldnt be what they mean..what DO they mean?
and it was indeed- what they meant-
Thanks Bud and Irma......
love and stuff

Honestly...
When Lets Spin came out and I saw who the guys were, I figured DA was dead. I was very upset. I had absolutely no interest at the time in a new Terry band that wasn't DA. I dropped off for 6 years until I saw Bibleland. Then I realized I missed two others (Kalhoun & Motorcycle).
What a stupid thing to do. Since then I've spent a lot of time and money getting every recording that I've missed plus all the CD reissues, occasionally resorting to Ebay.

I would totally agree!!!
but stick around-
you'll flop like a fish before its all said and done.
Actually - we did rather do this a while back(see carls lil smarty aleck note)
but there are a few newbies and other who chimed in- and I think its the bomb to see how we indeed did get sucked into the vortex of this particular
"eddie" - from all corners and edges.

Wow, great location but kinda restrictive. I had some friends that went there a couple years before you. When the student handbook said that hair could not touch your ears or collar, one friend kept the back short and grew the front down past his chin. They didn't like him too much there.

Ha, this reminds me of my own "tease" with going to Bible school. I'll try not to get too long-winded (this is, afterall, a "how did you find da" thread).
:::flashback to 1984-85:::
The person who was instrumental in getting me to open up to God was a young lady who came from an extremely fundamentalist background. How fundamentalist, you might ask??? How about that good ol' Bob Jones University fundamentalism! I spent my first year of being a Christian in a church that was absolutely against everything. But not knowing any better, I stuck with it.
Well, this young lady and I became an item, and even became engaged at one point. Before we had met, she had already had plans to go to BJU, so she did. I went through many steps in becoming a student there myself, and had we not broken up I probably would've. I even went and spent a week there with her and you talk about repression...HOLY COW, were these people strict. Gals could only wear dresses, guys had to have hair above the ears, absolutely no physical contact between the opposite sex (including hand-holding), no televisions were allowed whatsoever (in fact, during my visit some guy got in trouble for using his computer monitor to watch the Super Bowl). I could go on and on. Needless to say, I thank God that he kept me from making that mistake...both with her and with that school.

One of our friend's sons with longer hair went to a summer music camp at BJU, and he also got it trimmed up - except in front!

He looks kind of geeky now! I liked his hair long better! And my friend, who happens to be his mom, said the same thing!

A friend copied Alarma off of record onto a tape for me, and I wore the thing out. I had never heard anything like it. Much later at my first C-stone on a whim I purchased Darn Floor, and once again fell in love with the band. Darn Floor is, to this day one of my all time favorite CDs bar none. I still remember they had Darn Floor and Fearful Symmetry CDs and I had to choose one, I bought Darn Floor. Little did I know that it would take me YEARS to be able to find a copy of Fearful Symmetry after that on CD. Should've bought them both right then.

I was living in Atlanta in the early to mid 1980s and somehow caught a Scott Ross interview with Terry Taylor on...The 700 Club! It was just after the release of Vox Humana. I remember them showing a clip of DA playing "Sanctuary". The next day I went to a small Christian Bookstore on South Cobb Drive in Marietta and bought Vox. Ever since then I've bought every DA album as soon as it came out. Yes I even got the Fearful Symmetry and Darn Floor CDs when they were in the stores!

From JBwalt:
Then waaaaaay back Russ Taff played in Alexandria at the Baptist college and who was opening for him? The Choir. Another great night for Louisiana.
My kids saw that same tour in Marshfield WI..It was during Wide Eyed Wonder- I had a church commitment and could not go- grrr, a freind drove them the 200+ miles.
I still got the t shirt that my boy bought- it doesnt fit either of us any more.
Gotta love it!
