OMGOMGOMG!!! I got two scholastics!!! A gold and a silver. And like OMGYAY!!!
In other news: I need to learn gospel music. As in, the genre. Gotta be able to write gospel music by the end of the month. XD (So if anyone has stuff to give me... even just music to listen to... please!)
In other other news: Oh my god his poetry is so amazing! And he's actually a fucking fantastic songwriter. And such a great performer, and just... oh my god swoon. Although, he dropped out of our play =( so a) we have to give his part to a guy far less talented, and b) I don't get to hang out with his awesomeness and watch him perform and go to cast sleepover with him and do the whole bonding thing so he stops being all weird and aloof. OMG.

I assume you've already
I assume you've already listened to Mahalia Jackson and Marion Williams.
God the first time I heard Marion Williams sing "It is Well" it was like being disembowled in the middle of an earthquake, I'm sure the floor collapsed and I swear the sun rose to blind me through the window.
And Mahalia Jackson, oh Mahalia Jackson. Just words can't anymore.
If you need something a bit less wrenching then obviously Sister Rosetta Tharpe is rock and roll. I mean she's amazing but she leaves your guts in place, which sometimes comes as a relief.
I'm sure you know all these already though. Good luck with the project.
