Again with the memories....

So tonight I was doing some reminiscencing on some of my childhood with my Kids and I must I do humor myself quite a bit while I am doing this.  I usually start with my version of "I remember when I used to have to walk to school while it was blizzarding outside and it was uphill both ways!", my version of course isn't so dramatic...  It is usually like oh man I miss "Looney Toons" or "Johnny Quest", and of course my kids will say, "What is that?"  Well tonight I was singing some old Psalty tunes that popped back in my head all of a sudden, BTW I can be a bit random if you haven't noticed.  I was like, "oh man whatever happened to Psalty".  Apparently a lot since I last heard of him.  Let's I left Psalty knowing of Kid's Praise album 7.... THERE IS LIKE 10 OF THEM!  HOLY HOLY HOLY!  I'm say HOLY HOLY HOLY!  I decided to do a little surfing on the information super highway and see if I could find me a copy of this wonderful / miraculous / stupendously / amazing Psalty.......

Oh by the way who is Psalty?, You might ask?  According to one of the children who sang with the guy, "He's a great big blue singing songbook!"  Who'd of thought?  A Great Big Blue Singing Songbook!  Ha, fantastic I tell you, fantastic!  Barney wasn't even a thought.... Purple dinosaur... LOOSER...  A Great Big Blue Singing Songbook... NOW that's what I'm talking about... Fantastic...!

Oh so, I surfed to a quick Google search and blam, Psalty is the man... He even has a wiki page dedicated to him!  I found the complete works of Psalty for only around 99$.  Not to shabby considering he teaches kids the holiest of all songs, HYMNS, and the funnest of all songs, PRAISE... Oh and did I mention he and the kids helped write songs with Fanny Crosby and Charles Wesley (Kids Praise 7)..  How can you go wrong?  Oh and he sang with some church mice... His wife was a Great Big Yellow singing Songbook (Psaltina) , and of course his kids, not a big but big singing songbooks (Melody, Harmony, and Rhythm).  
He gave me more of an appreciation for music, such as hymns, than my college course of Hymnody (the study and appreciation of hymns, HA!)... Seriously, I know that when we think of Psalty we think pretty cheezy, but seriously what happened to good entertainment for our kids today.  I played a few songs for my kids and they were clearly entertained and were soaking up the message quicker than any modern Sunday School program or modern HD programing could ever do.  I wonder sometimes if we would consider the effectiveness of simple and goofy and the application of Psalty, The Great Big Blue Singing Songbook, if we would change our tone or delivery to share the good news of Jesus Christ!  Hmmm I wonder?
