| Why did it take my ears this long? |
     |
Heh. I got into the Lost Dogs via a commercial on CCM-TV for "Little Red Riding Hood" circa 1993. My search for the Dogs' four bands on CD was slow, but soon I got Drowning with Land in Sight (77s) the next year, as well as The Choir's "Speckled Bird" and DA's "Bibleland". New to "alternative" music, I dug right into the 77's and slowly dug into The Choir. (I couldn't find Adam Again CD's at the time, and was not able to get some until this spring.) I listened to Bibleland a couple of times and shelved it, as I didn't get it.
Now, I love the Dogs' stuff and I got to see their show Sunday night in Voorhees, NJ. So, this week whilst listening to some discs I picked up at the concert (see the 77s boards for sundry posts in that regard), I decided to take Bibleland for another spin.
I love it. Now, I know my music tastes have changed in the last few years. For example, I could not stand Pink Floyd (except for the "Momentary Lapse of Reason" CD). Then, sometime in 2000 or so, something clicked and I like them now.
Is it possible that the Lost Dogs, The Choir, Adam Again (who I regret not getting into sooner), Mike Roe, and The 77's (especially the Crows and Direct CD's) have led me to be more accepting of DA?

Somehow I missed yer post. 
I had a senior moment.
Thanks, bd! Perhaps that's what it was... DA put a small seedling in my brain that germinated until I came full circle and back to DA. I remember listening to a demo of Motorcycle and not being impressed. I wonder if that would be the case today. I'd probably like it today. *sigh* I had money back then!

MF, you could at least tell him who we is lest he thinks you have a turd in your pocket.....
MF and I are maritally related and have 3 kids together! 
btw, welcome Zudrak! I saw your posts on the Dogs board ~ may have even commented on them (actually I think I did) but I've slept since then.

Ah, got it.
I am planning a vacation to Toronto (we're leaving Saturday, 7/29). After that, I plan on trying to acquire some more DA and the elusive 7&7 Is: More Miserable... If ever that money tree I planted sprouts, I will be in good shape. Something tells me I am more likely to reap as much as the "1 talent man" in Jesus' parable.

I saw the comment, but I couldn't think of anything to add.
I really like the Choir, too, but the 7's are my first fave. I can still blast "Speckled Bird" on my speakers, though. I just love that song. Funny -- my wife is sort of "blah" on The Choir, but Derri's writing always makes me think of her on that album.
Terry's writing is such that now I will have to hunt down his CD's until I have them all. It's an old-fashioned flaw I have that started when I began collecting Genesis cassettes when I worked at the mall in the 80's. If I like a band, I try to get their whole catalogue.
That reminds me -- time to put on Bibleland again.

Give your wife time ~ or try to get her to a concert sometime and she'll change her mind about Derri and the Choir. (you might even eventually tell her that you want to punch him in the nose when she talks about him too much ~ a comment uttered by MF on occasion ~ of course, I think he was joking) Seriously, I was very blah on The Choir until I saw Derri in concert that first time. After that, I started to listen to more of The Choir's music. We only had Love Songs & Prayers until we bought the boxed set. The more I listened, the more I realized that I liked them. We drove 5 1/2 hours (one way) to attend their CD release party when they released O, How the Mighty Have Fallen ~ great CD! We also drove 4 hours one way to see Terry and Mike on the BBQ tour simply because Derri was going to be at that particular show (he didn't go on that tour with them but made a few appearances). Of course, we drove the same distance once to see Mike Roe & Mark Harmon on the Fun With Sound tour. Great times!

Howdie Z-
why yes- I think youve been struck by what we call
-*All things Terry*-
there are a number of things that I wrinkled my nose at concerning all the forementioned, but dang- in time it begins to get a hold of you.
there be the day when I thought anything like the Dogs "Country" would make me shudder..though I liked Shotgun Angel from the gate way back when (1980?? oh boy!)..
It could be your maturing self too..but I think not-
its just that you realize the boys and their bands!
thanks for the post!- stick around.
Ill migrate to the 7s board to check out yer comments.

Thanks, Jiminy. I can't for the life of me think why I did not like them, but better late than never sure rings true in this instance. That's one more band I would try seeing in concert should a tour come near Philly, PA (as I live right across the river in NJ).
My only regret of the concert was that my camera person (AKA sister) was able to get pics of me with Mike Roe and with Derri Daugherty and Steve Hindalong together, but not able to get a picture with Terry. He did sign my Bibleland and Little Red Riding Hood CD liners, though.

ditto what Cricket said!
It took me a while too. When MF got LRRH, I couldn't stand the Dogs. Part of it was that I was into CCM and thought that anything not CCM was not Christian and therefore I couldn't partake of that music. I told MF they looked like a bunch of hoodlums.
Long story short ~ or I'll try to be short. MF bought Acoustic Worship 2: We Bow Down that Derri co-produced. He got it in a bargain bin at the Christian store. He brought it home, popped it in the CD player and went to take a shower. I got out the liner notes and began reading. "Great lyrics, beautiful worship music, great voice...........Derald Daugherty? where have I heard that name? Oh, I'm gonna get him....." were my exact thoughts. I ran into the bathroom and yelled, "You dirty dog!" Well, a few weeks later the Dogs came to Charlotte, which was a 2 hour drive. MF wanted to go and I told him that would be fine if he had some people to go with (it was in a bar 
). One by one the guys cancelled until 2 days before the concert, the last guy bailed. I *had* to go. Never mind that by this time I was at least a little intrigued and kinda wanted to go. We sat down and Derri came out ~ instant fan!!! Yeah, I fell in love with his voice, bought his "A Few Unfinished Songs" as well as a few other CDs and had some of them signed by the guys. They were so warm and welcoming to the fans. My CCM induced judgment was instantly erased as I became struck by *All Things Terry*.
MF then bought a few other discs by the guys and we began to build our collection. Now I buy them and claim them before MF gets a chance to. I told our daughter that she needed to not mess with "my CD" and she said, "Mama, that's not just yours. It's all of ours." Sure maybe the CD is, but the autographs aren't.

The title track. It's a fun rock'n'roll tune. Having just reintroduced myself to the album, my pick is subject to change. I'll get more time this weekend to really dig into it.
The chorus is one of those that you can hum while working, too. Let that be a warning (albeit 12 years late)!

That is a good choice, but i am partial to any song that recognizes Debbie Boone.

Its sometimes an aquired taste, once you aquire it you can grow to love that unique thread that runs though all of their music no matter what style they are playing.
Jiminy...Shotgun Angel....1977...heh

Welcome!
Cool stories and glad you could make it to a Dogs show.
I must admit I too heard the Dogs first (Scenic Routes). It did take me a little while to get into DA, but I do really love them now.
Adam Again and 77s did appeal more to my base musical tastes, but it took awhile to start getting more of their stuff for a lot of life reasons that tend to get a bit complicated.
I did get Motor Cycle and Dig pretty soon after Scenic Routes or Little Red Riding Hood and got The Choir's Love Songs and Prayers compilation pretty soon after that, I think.
I really regret not being able to get a DA Alarma Chronicles box set. I think by the time I heard about them they were gone and they go over $100 on ebay now.
We did get a Choir box set though.

I like the Beatles/XTC quality that disc has. Good stuff!
It's one of those records that are best heard in the car!
It's a CD for a good road trip

i would agree
It took me a long time to warm up musically to the first two songs, but some of my favs are on there (hole in the world, buffalo hills, etc)
