I play in an orchestra that presents an annual concert of gospel music with 80-piece orchestra and 90-voice choir. The energy is something to behold, and the fact that I'm an atheist doesn't diminish the event at all for me.

I think it is a waste of a lifetime to really believe in any religious stuff. But if you are going there, this is definitely the way to do it. That black gospel choir music is like nothing else. We have 10-15 white people in the choir too. They sing OK, but they just don't have the moves.
