Re: Caedmon's Call

[John Paul Davis <johnd at antioch-college_edu>]

This is a Christian rock band, I'm guessing? But they named themselves 
after *the* Caedmon, the 7th century English farmhand who woke up one 
day with amazing poetic ability? The author of this poem:

Nu sculon herigean       heofonrices Weard
Meotodes meahte       ond his modgethanc,
weorc Wuldorfaeder,       swa he wundra gehwaes
ece Drihten,       or onstealde
He aerest sceop       eorthan bearnum
heofon to hrofe,       halig Scippend.
Tha middangeard       monncynnes Weard,
ece Drihten,       aefter teode
firum foldan,       Frea aelmihtig.


Interesting. Do they do a decent version of Caedmon's Hymn?

Do they have to call themselves St. Caedmon's Call when they play 
Catholic churches?
