On a mission from God ... to cut hair!

quislibetI just went and had my last haircut at New Life Cuts in Salem, which wasn't as bizarrely anthropological as it has been in the past.
Basically, for those tuning in late (I can't immediately find other posts related to this to link to), the nearest barbershop is run by some young black Spanish-speakers in their 20s who play lots of Spanish-language Christian hip-hop while crowds of people hang out, either waiting for haircuts or engaging in Bible study (or both, of course).
Today was somewhat disappointing from the story-telling side, but from the haircut point of view it was a success, especially as I did not have to wait the usual two hours before getting into a chair.
I know I've mentioned it before because it's so mention-worthy, but one of the barbers has released an album of songs of praise. It's totally not my bag, but I figured my mom'd eat it right up and got it for her for Christmas. I'm listening to it right now and I'd like it if it were the sort of thing I liked. But at least it should go over well with her.
Track three, which you can listen to at the above link, features as a guest rapper the guy who actually cut my hair today. But it's too bad about that children's chorus at the end.
