I guessed it. Not surprising at all. Very southern and large black population. Plus who would stay home and miss a sermon from Pastor Watermark each week?

Nice pretty little song, well performed. See? just cos it is about a fairy on a cloud does not make the music bad.
I like many hymns and am in awe of European religious buildings; and people say: 'you are supposed to hate that stuff cos you are an atheist'. Those songs and those buildings were created by people, people with a particuar talent, that they were muslim or christian or whatever has and had nothing to do with the execution although it might have something to do with the motivation.

My college professor for Romanticism was a huge fan of Thomas Hardy, and I believe wrote his dissertation on him (so naturally I picked up a little history). Hardy loved attending service with his wife, and admired Catholic and Anglican architecture, but he was an atheist.

Hardy was in easy reach of some rather splendid churches and cathedrals. Salisbury would have been withing easy reach with its soaring columns, perhaps the most majestic building of its time. A carriage ride away and he might have visited Chichester. Hardy country is, perhaps, some of the best in Britain with Lulworth cove and Poole harbour where Baden Powell took the first scouts.
Hardy came to me a little late, I wish I had had the courage to read Jude and the Mayor of C when I was still in awe of the southern counties of England.
Weymouth is on the coast of Hardy country from whence takes his name Viscount Weymouth or Alexander Thynne promoted to his deceased father's title of Lord Bath. His heir, one Ceawlyn Thynne, does not appear to be continuing his father's hobby of collecting 'wifelets'. I should know much more about the dad as we have a mutual friend who painted one of his many portraits many years ago, but I have never really bothered with the loonies of royal hangers on.
