    Back when I was a teenager my Daddy was the pastor of a small Assembly of God church. A friend of mine and I was watching a Mouse running around on the platform while Daddy was preaching. He turned and walked over where the Mouse was and the Mouse jumped off the platform and ran to the back of the church a woman on about the three row of sets seen it and screamed a man on the other side of the church thought she was doing it because she being bless by God was and was shouting and God was make him feel good already so he jumped up and started shouting then it just moved over the whole church. Daddy, my friend, that little woman and I was the only ones that know what really started it. So some time God can bless people by a little anamil. After she regained her composure after seeing the Mouse she got a blessing from God to. I think about that Mouse everytime I hear this song. That was in the 60s when that happened almost 2 ppl years before ray releases his song. It brought back memories then and still does every time I hear today.

    I remember listening to Ray Steven's on cassette as a child......never realized until now, but he's got a really good singing voice

    Only Ray Stevens could sing this song this way and get a way with it. I still say Everything is Beautiful has got to be one of his best songs. though.

    Last summer I was watching over my recently deceased uncle's farm house, he didn't have any cable or anything for his tv, but a vcr and some Ray Stevens tapes. I never heard of him until that night, but I spent the whole evening watching his tapes and loving every minute of it, he really helped me get through that tough time. Ray Stevens is hilarious.

    More modern churches need a visit from a "half-crazed mississippi squirrel". Seriously.

    Many long years ago, I went to a church in Alabama that looked just like this one. Yep, they needed, and still need, that squirrel although I do believe that a skunk would have an even better result.

    I can attest to the fact it is still hot and humid in Pascagoula up to almost he end of October. I thought there could not be other place in the South Like North Carolina when the air is stagnant and the humidity is so thick. But I then went to Ole Mississippi a few weeks after Hurricane Katrina hit.
