I swear, they're sacrificing these guys to Baal or something...

Taking a run through craigslist.org for new job postings (something I do several times a day) and I see that they're back.

GOSPEL PIANIST NEEDED FOR BLACK-LED SAN JOSE CHURCH

I know I've posted about this before, but this ad appears at least once a week, and has been appearing for as long as craigslist has existed. I find it amusing to imagine why they are endlessly searching. Personally, I'm picturing the stereotypical Church Ladies from Hell, the real powers in the congregation, who find endless fault with each new candidate. They've left a string of broken pianists in their wake.

On the other hand, maybe the listing is a secret message. Minor variations in wording and punctuation send different messages.

Or they could be worshiping some strange deity that requires the blood of piano players who know black church music.

I like the "Serious Inqueries Only Please" part. Suggests you're not the only one to wonder how they manage to go though keyboardists...

I'd bet on the Church Ladies. Amazing how some people, especially the more evangelical ones, know exactly what God wants about even the smallest matters, and take any disagreement as an attack on their faith.

I remember what an old priest once told me: a conversation with God is like a conversation with an old friend. You only hear what He's saying when you stop talking and listen.
