After starving the whole day to ensure we could get our money's worth of the buffet, we walked in a few circles around streets of Chicago until we finally found The House of Blues. We had to wait around until our show started so we decided to have a look at some of the memorabilia. Of course everything was over priced so I don't have much to show for the day other than a few photos and a few very vivid memories and the large choir master jiggling his giant belly and screaming out the praise to the Lord Almighty "HA-LLE-LU-JAH PRAISE JEEEEEESUS" "PRAISE THE LORD" "AAAAMEN"! I must say, generally not my taste but a fun filled day never the less! During the show I did however find it slightly ironic that the choir master main dude in the suspenders and tie and cross around his neck, kept advertising "thayr dee vee dee and cee dee, with our meeeuuusic and sooongs of praaaaise and worship". Very holy and modest aren't we? One of the highlights had to be when the lead was explaining to us that in his church the women all have to hold onto the tops of their heads when they throw their heads back in worship to stop their wigs falling off. Much to the amuzement of the crowd, one of the choir members in all her appreciation lost her wig to the stage.
All in all I don't think my experience would have been complete in the USA if I didn't experience the energy and volume of an American Gospel Choir and being called up to jiggle and move to the beats of the legendary Sister Act, Big Momma, song Oh Happy Day!
HALLEUJAH!
