Ordination and Other Music Stuff

Rating: NSS
I often post church-related stuff on BO, not Opus the first, but I think this fits better here, as I am not really pondering any theological content.
I attended an ordination and installation recently at a rural church. It was a service fitting a rural Lutheran church. The men's choir sang "Onward Christian Soldiers" and it was VERY old-school Lutheran.
My husband and I often remark how much the Concordia choirs have a unique sound--listen to any River Forest or Seward recording from any era and compare it to any other era; it all sounds like the same people--but this men's choir made me realize that pretty much any rural Lutheran men's group sounds like the next. I suppose it is due to the barbershop sound. This is not a bad thing, mind you; however, I found it eerie. The song took me back 20 years to the church in which I grew up. I could have sworn (except I don't) that in the balcony was my father singing away with 3-4 other people (whom I will not name here) from church. It was nothing short of astounding.
