Our new book is available for pre-order from Ascension Press!

“I love this book. It provides wise counsel with beautiful simplicity. So, if you are looking to safeguard your family life from the wiles of the enemy and encourage your spouse and children to become the saints God is calling them to be, this is a book for you.” – Fr Gregory Pine

Home life can be difficult and busy, and it’s easy to get distracted from the point of it all: raising a family of saints.

In Living Beyond Sunday: Making Your Home a Holy Place, two married couples share what has helped them make their homes a place of encounter with God–a place where saints are being made.

Intro: [00:00:00] Cheers. Cheers. Did you click it and have it work? Sort of an oaky afterbirth. What was that? She did tell me to get a beer and some cheese fries over at Eskimo Joe's. That's very nice, lovely. I only hope you feel this way when I'm done. Because I could destroy this night in two seconds. Why is that funny?

Well, I think it's a bit funny to be trying to define nothing. Smooth as a bourbon on a summer day. Strong as a peated scotch in the winter night. This is a fair warning. The Catholic Man Show is about to begin. Slap some bacon on a biscuit and let's go! We're burning daylight! Welcome to the Catholic Man Show, we're on the [00:01:00] Lord's team, the winning side, so raise your glass.

Adam 

Adam Minihan: and Anne here, sitting with David Niles in studio, Juan is still not here, as we mentioned last week. Be moved. So he abandoned us, so he won't be here very often, but we have our good friend, father Bonaventure Chapman, Dominican friar, priest of God from up in Washington DC area. That's it. Coming back.

We did two, we did two episodes with you last, last, last time you were here. We also done 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: SCOTUS and I think art. 

Adam Minihan: Art. Yes. And so it's great to have you back. for, thanks for like sorry, I'm fourth to record with us today. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Oh, it's delightful. It's a, I love Oklahoma. It's always nice to visit Tulsa.

Friendly people. It's different than the Washington D. C. kind of east coast people. So they're, yeah. 

David Niles: Thank you. Friendly. Thank you. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: That was a huge compliment for us. Yeah, down to earth. 

David Niles: I mean, I'm sure that there are some good people. Wonderful people. In D. C. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: I didn't say there were. Yeah, I didn't say there weren't.

[00:02:00] I just said they're not good. Yeah. You know, it's like. No, they're just different. They're, look, I'll put it this way. They're not from Connecticut. That's it. The New Englanders are a whole different bag. Now, this is all tongue in cheek, but that's fair enough. Yeah, but yeah, just it's refreshing to actually be with ordinary people sometimes because in DC you just, and you're in 

David Niles: city living.

You meant good looking, I think. That's probably what you meant, but keep going. It's all right. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Yeah, fair enough. Yeah, fair enough. My humility 

David Niles: doesn't want to interrupt you. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Yeah, you're doing great. Yeah, I mean, there's there's a lot of guns out here. There's a lot of guns in here. Yeah, so, you know, 

David Niles: here we go.

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Here we are. 

David Niles: Guns are almost like currency around here. No, ammo. Ammos, Ammos definitely. Ammos guarantee, yeah. 

Adam Minihan: So hey guys, we're drinking a Jebsons Bourbon Cask Strength. My mother in law got this for me. It is a bourbon that you can only get in the distillery up in Chicago, Illinois. So it's, it's cask strength.

Like I said, it's like, see, almost 65 percent ABV. It is very strong. So we will drink [00:03:00] it very slowly in moderation. Well, we're on the Lord's team. Cheers. Winning side. So raise your glass. 

David Niles: Cheers to Jesus. 

Adam Minihan: Cheers. 

David Niles: It drinks to me like a standard bourbon, like, this is just, this is, this is like, to me it's like, kind of gives you a pow in the face.

Well, yeah, it is, like you said, it's, it's strong, it's strong, but the flavors that are there, it's like, yep, that is like classic bourbon. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: It's got heavy spice it seems that in the back, kind of swings around so yeah, it's got a lot of movement, it seems, that, I don't know how to describe bourbon bourbon.

But if I were to describe Bourbon. Yes. I would say this has a lot of movement and a lot of spice. Ooh. And I have, I mean, that's, that's probably a horrible way to say it, but that's. 

David Niles: I like that. I need more movement in my life. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. Chicago. That's great. My, my my grandfather, my mother was born in Chicago.

My grandfather went to med school in Chicago. My brother did his residency pain fellowship at Rush in Chicago. So I love that. That's a great [00:04:00] city. That's how I really. Doing a pain, did you say a 

David Niles: pain? 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Pain 

David Niles: fellowship, yeah. That's there's a lot of, there's a lot of work there, there's a lot of like, funny stuff you can work with.

There is, yeah, 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: yeah. He's a specialist in pain surgery, and he was the 101st airborne flight surgeon, Afghanistan, two tours, and then finished residency, and now he's head of anesthesiology. Pain, now he's in charge of pain, yeah. Yep, in charge of pain fellows. So, 

Adam Minihan: You, you're one of the many, a couple hosts of Godsplaining.

Oh, yeah. There's five of us. Yep. Yep. That's right. So what are you what's been going on over there? 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Well, we've got a taping coming up. We've got some retreats. We're doing a, we just got back this started this year doing two person kind of prudent companion retreats. So Dominicans have this. You don't go out.

We follow Guston's rule. And Guston always says, whenever you go out, make sure you go. with two or three. I didn't do that in this case, but I guess because you two are prudently companionable already. Yeah. Yeah. This is going really good so far. I'm here [00:05:00] to praise you, not to bury you. And so we started doing, going out to different different parishes and different things would say to Dominicans from the God's point, and we'll do.

Talk and then we'll do like a little episode, live episode, kind of break stuff as opposed to like a Q and a type of thing. And it seems to work out well, it's like a live audience, you could say. So it's just with father Gregory pine out in Columbus to do one on the Eucharist on sign and sacrament. We did a day, a day or a day and a half on that, and then we've got a retreat coming up.

In the summer, we're doing the sanctifier by Louis Martinez yep. And then, yeah, I think that's the, the current stuff was, I've been kind of spreading out different retreats, days of recollection, and then this kind of our standard guest explaining, live explaining. I haven't, we haven't done object explaining yet.

That's still my, I'm still pushing for this. Hmm. Where you have you, you have an interview with just an object like a fire extinguisher, and you ask questions to it, and and then you respond as if it has responded. And it hasn't gone well. It like hasn't, has not, no one's bought this yet.

It's a [00:06:00] shame because I think it's, I think it'd be great. I think it'd be really, I'd be fascinated by it. You should 

David Niles: start object number one, MAGA hat. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Yeah. Yeah, that'll get some stuff. Yeah, a lot of really 

David Niles: good responses, I feel like, from the MAGA hat. yeah. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: I mean, I mean, so I remember, I remember when I remember when, when, when that happened.

And I remember watching, so it's 2016 right, and right before, and he's coming to announce his candidacy. Yeah. And I remember seeing, getting, walking down from that plane to announce this, and he's wearing that hat. And I thought That is the dumbest thing and then literally three seconds later. I said wow I'm 

Intro: getting one 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: brilliant Like it's just it's just a simple very simple nice You know clear the guy is nice the guy is good at marketing of what I believe I mean like when you ask what do I want?

I and you said I say I make make America great again like it's who doesn't want who doesn't want 

David Niles: America to be great Like hope 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: and change. I don't know change. I don't [00:07:00] know if I want that You like forward. I don't know if I want that. Make america great again. That was just brilliant. I mean who doesn't want that, you know, I 

Adam Minihan: totally agree.

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Yeah, that was brilliant 

Adam Minihan: Yeah, so tonight we thought because you know david we love having dominicans on on the show. We love being able to Pick your pick your guys's brain cuz it's like this thing you do you like study and preach, right? Yeah, this is like the things that you do. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Yeah, it's not 

Adam Minihan: good. I mean too 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: excited here 

Adam Minihan: Like 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: I keep expectations at a reasonable level on the lower side of things.

Remember, I'm just a philosopher 

Adam Minihan: Well, yeah, 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: that's why I'm not well, I'm not not a theologian. 

Adam Minihan: Yeah. Yeah, so we just want to like We just have it we have questions that's too much and so like 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Yeah. 

Adam Minihan: So can I start? Please. Are you 

David Niles: ready to start? Shall we begin? Yeah, I think, 

Adam Minihan: I think that'd be 

David Niles: great. Should we ring a bell?

Ding ding. Okay. Oh. So, all of our questions for you today [00:08:00] are un, unprepared. Right. We haven't discussed this. So Some of, just like, for clarity, some of our questions you might not have an answer for. Oh yeah. This might be one of them. 

Intro: Mm hmm. Yeah, 

David Niles: great. Do you have, like, is there a Dominican tradition, Easter tradition or anything?

Like, do you have a favorite Easter thing? Like, what's the best part about being a Dominican? Oh, 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: that's a great question. Yeah, what is the best, I mean the Pass. Yeah. Jesus, 

David Niles: next question. It's tough because Jesus, next question. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Yeah, it's tough because the triduum is the really, and that's not Easter, like the triduum is the best part of being a Dominican, I think.

It's that, those three, those three days getting up to that, I mean we have You know, you do, we start, we usually use we have a 10 embrace service on Wednesday at the house. So I'm at the house studies teach at the Catholic university across the street in school of philosophy. And but I, so I live with 60, 70 brothers a lot of student brothers and assistant student master there.

So I get to be around them and we have a big house. that has a great liturgy [00:09:00] great off choral offices, everything. It's like the, it's, it's a, you know, it's, it's a flagship kind of thing. It's, it's where you'd want your brothers, your Dominicans to be learning because it's, it's just, we can, a lot of our houses have smaller numbers, but the, the big, you know, at the monastery, the kind of the fortress, this is where things get done.

So the liturgies are spectacular for the Triduum. And Dominicans, because we have a, we have a sort of, well, one long, long tradition, but two, a kind of penitential tradition. That we do penance as well in that time. We do celebrations as well, as far as I can tell. We do all things well. Sweet. But most things, yeah, yeah.

Humility, we don't do well. It's actually known 

Adam Minihan: worldwide. Humility is known worldwide. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Yeah, that's exactly right. It's the Benedictine's thing that we don't want to, you know, That's theirs, take it off, you know, that's theirs. But you know what, you 

David Niles: can have humility. Yeah, it's 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: fine. You know, 

David Niles: yeah, it's fine.

We're going to take coolness. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Yeah. So we take, so, you know, it's that time you're wearing the, you're wearing the kappa. So right now I'm not wearing the black cape, but they're wearing the kappa for the, for the triduum. It's a lot of silence. We have the [00:10:00] veneration of the cross has these beautiful aspects where we, we all get in a row and you, you have to go genuinely, you bow like three times in a row and finally kiss the cross.

So you're, you're all in a row with each other. Doing this in pattern you're just you know stuck in this and also the the early offices my favorite offices of the year are morning prayer on holy saturday and on good friday because the The tabernacle is empty. All the the candles are gone and we've got a big, you know chapel everything just it doesn't feel Right.

There's no water in the In a holy water font. You just go in and everything's, everything's pared down. So all the liturgical chants get clipped, in a sense. It's like nothing finishes. Yeah. And that just brings you into it because the, the liturgy is meant to be the, you know, the work of God, you could say, but it's, it's him doing the work.

Right, and I get a sense of that in the Dominican tradition especially because the liturgies are well worked over so that if you're just there Then you can't but come closer to Christ [00:11:00] Excellent 

Adam Minihan: So we're here with Father Bonaventure Chapman Dominican priest And we will be asking him I 

Intro: don't know how many more questions we're going to get to How many more do 

David Niles: you have in your back pocket?

I don't know I have not counted Alright Alright, we'll 

Intro: be right back I forgot about this. I gotta tell my, yeah. I'm telling my answers, that's right, I forgot about this.

Agony In The GardenDavid Niles:[00:00:00] Warning. The Catholic Man Show contains high levels of manliness. If you think you may be too weak to withstand the manliness represented in the following program, please do yourself a favor and stop listening now. If you choose to continue in spite of this warning, If at any time you feel yourself overcome by the manliness, stop immediately and consult your closest medical professional.And now, for the not so fair, faint, or frilly, we present the Catholic Men's Show.Adam Minihan: Welcome to the Catholic man show. We're on the Lord's team, the winning side. I David Niles: was Adam Minihan: trying to figure out like how to [00:01:00] say, have a good holy week. You know the people? In Latin? No, just like in English. David Niles: You should ask Google Translate. Yeah, Adam Minihan: because that always works. Yeah, it's been, it's hit home runs for us every time we've done that.So many times. But I was like, you know, have an efficacious Holy Week. No, that doesn't, like, that isn't right. Like, have an intense Holy Week. I don't, I don't know, like, may you suffer well, David Niles: like, maybe a I mean, it sounds like the question you're asking really is, like, I have wondered the same thing about Lent.Yeah, you know because it's kind of the same thing. Yeah, like but specifically Adam Minihan: for a holy week huh, right as we're entering into the holiest week of the year David Niles: I mean it's like but it's really a question of a distinction of degrees not kind, right? In what you're like because if it was true about Lent, it's definitely true now.Yes, right And so I used to say I used to say something I think I used to say like maybe it was efficacious and efficacious Lent to you Adam Minihan: But like that just doesn't hit, you know, it's like, I don't know, like have an intensely prayerful whole [00:02:00] week. It was like for a David Niles: while. It's like, this is years ago. It's like kind of down with the happy Lent, have a happy, happy Lent.And you know, I hope you do have a happy Lent, but that's not like the thing I want to wish you. About Lent. Like, to me, like, the thing that is essential to Lent isn't that it's happy. It's happiness. Yeah. Right. You know, sort of like Easter would It's not, it's not, Lent's Adam Minihan: charism, so to speak. David Niles: Right, exactly.Yeah, it's not it's charism. That's exactly right. Whereas Easter, on the other hand, is like Joyful! Joyous! Yeah, like so, well, but, if I can remember it before the end of the episode, I will You'll, and I will just Cut us off. Stop, absolutely halt whatever it is we're saying about, saying at the time.Perfect. And just Throw it in. Yeah. And we'll see. Okay. And then we can carry on. Adam Minihan: I'm very excited to enter into the Easter season. Dude, me too. I cannot wait. It's gonna be so awesome. The beautiful thing about fasting is that you get to feast. You know, there's, there's seasons of feasting. Yeah. And if you fast well, you get to feast [00:03:00] well.You know, like, feasting, like, It means more. David Niles: Yeah, and it's great that we have, I think Palm Sunday is just, you know, the Church's liturgical calendar is a work of art, I think. We're in the middle of, you know, at the middle of Lent, towards the end of Lent, now entering into the most penitential week of the year, but we have Palm Sunday first, which is like the celebration of Jesus entering tri, you know, triumphantly into Jerusalem, you know, to, like, this is a, this is a Sunday to really feast.Amidst all Sundays, as we celebrate Christ's triumphant you know, like, entrance into Jerusalem. Yeah. It's like a, a real victory. It's a, a day of victory. So, and that's a beautiful thing to have right here before we go into the most penitential week of the year. Yeah. Adam Minihan: Yeah. Well, when we commit deicide, [00:04:00] David Niles: which is bad.It's bad. It's a bad It's one of our Well, it's not good, Adam. Adam Minihan: It's one of the ugliest marks for David Niles: humankind. Well, let's see how it works out for him, Cotton. Adam Minihan: Oh, man. Okay, so hey, we are Bold strategy. Bold strategy, yeah, but it turns out it, it was David Niles: It's, it seemed like a bad, it seemed like a fail, and then it turned out to be a pretty, you know, like, I imagine that's how it was for Satan.Don't you think that Satan thought, like, as he watched Christ hanging on the cross, don't you think he thought he was winning, or something? I imagine that that was a Yeah, probably some Like a big bait and switch. On the devil. Yeah, you know like when all of a sudden he realized what he's back. I was like rooting for him like I, you know, like, deceived one of his own apostles, his, like, inner circle, into betraying him [00:05:00] and getting him killed.And now Only to realize, that's what's the, that, you know, like, AGH! Adam Minihan: Now the gates of heaven are all open. Right, yeah, it's like, that's a big backfire. That is, yeah. So this evening, you know what's not a big backfire, is this whiskey we're having this evening. It's so good. Wyoming whiskey, we've had Wyoming whiskey on the show several times, this is the double cask.I gotta tell you, my dad actually asked me, he was going to a friend's house not too long ago, and he said, hey, what's a good bourbon that's not very expensive to bring over to their house? And I said, listen, and we get this question a lot from people, they email us or text us or something like that, asking us, hey, what's a bourbon?Here's my go tos, okay? So for bourbons, If you can find Wyoming whiskey, David Niles: that's the, that's the win. Hard to find here in Oklahoma, a little bit. It, you can, you, you can find it, but. It's, it's cheap, you know, it's. So what was this, like 35, maybe 40 bucks? Yeah, it's under 40 for sure. Yeah, and this is the double cask.Right. The, the regular is even [00:06:00] cheaper. And it's so Adam Minihan: smooth. And it's so good. Yeah, so my dad couldn't find Wyoming whiskey. Cause it's hard to find, like you mentioned. Yeah, David Niles: in other states, the closer you get to Wyoming. If you're in Wyoming, this is at every grocery store, it's at every liquor store, and it's like 30 bucks.Yeah. It's really cheap. Adam Minihan: So I told them like, Wyoming whiskey is a good one. 1792, I really like. Yeah. It's one that has a great presentation bottle. It's a cheaper whiskey. The whiskey is good. It's smooth. It doesn't have a harsh bite. It's not, it's not David Niles: like, uberly complex. Right. But it's, but it's good.It's a easy drinking. Right. Yeah. Not going to offend anybody. Everyone's going to enjoy it and have a good time. Buffalo Trace is Adam Minihan: another one. Eagle Rare is another one. You know, there's, there's several. Anyway, it was really funny because he got there, he brought 1792. He got there, somebody else had brought a Wyoming whiskey, and so he had a chance to try both.Huh. And he said, he really liked the 1792, but he said, the Wyoming whiskey was just so smooth. Yeah. And so David Niles: It [00:07:00] really is, and everything I've had from them is all good. Yeah. Every single Adam Minihan: thing. This one is, so again, double cask, it's a straight bourbon whiskey finished in sherry casks, so it has a little sweetness at the end there, which is nice because it's you know 50 percent ABV.The whiskey gets its color and character from the cask in which it ages and matures. This double cask whiskey goes through the process twice. The first five years in the barrel makes it a bourbon. The sherry cask adds a nice touch of sweetness and brings out the best in the spirit to deliver superior smoothness and drinkability.You can drink it on ice with twist. And anything nice. David Niles: You know, okay. That is another thing I don't, I'm not a ice in my whiskey guy. But if you have every now and then you want to make a drink and if you, all you have are nice scotches and expensive bourbons. You're not going to want to make, well you might make an old fashioned out of a nice, a nice [00:08:00] bourbon, but this is a whiskey that I'm not afraid to, oh yeah, like, mix in a drink, because it just, it doesn't cost very much, right, so like sure, whatever, even though I'm I always drink it neat and straight, like a man.It's so good. Adam Minihan: So we're on the Lord's team. The winning side. David Niles: So raise your glass. Cheers to Jesus. Cheers. And the last thing I'll say about Wyoming whiskey is it's just kind of a cool story. It's not like a story of ancient tradition, like every single whiskey distiller tries to present themselves.Right. Basically it's all made in this tiny town in Wyoming. And I think they Yeah, I think they employ like Almost the entire town, like almost everybody there because it's a, it's a small town. distillery. And so it really is become like a local, you know, everybody's really proud of the product that they make there.Yeah. You just like to see that. Yeah. Adam Minihan: Big news for the, [00:09:00] the David ranch, the Niles ranch. We have David Niles: chicks. Yes. Just yesterday and today they started hatching. There are still four eggs that The broody hen is sitting on. We'll see if they hatch. Okay. It's been exciting. Yeah. You know, between having piglets and now baby chicks I did want to ask for prayers because I, if I can borrow a trailer, if, If my buddy Robert who is a loyal, he's your, we're, our buddy Robert, one of the best guys, I mean, really, and he also has a nice trailer that he lets me borrow anytime I want, and I just text him this evening, like, hey, can I borrow your trailer tomorrow, and I haven't heard back from him yet, but the Cattle Auction is tomorrow, okay, and if you guys remember the story about the last time I went to the Cattle Auction, the hilarious debacle, yes, I'm about trying to, trying to buy, I don't know what you call [00:10:00] it.Deformed is maybe the best, the most, the politest word I can think of to describe this cow. But it's really cheap, right? So, I just would like prayers that I don't humiliate myself again. Adam Minihan: Or, That you do for the sake of your David Niles: humility. And if I do, if I do humiliate myself, that I get a lot of traction out of it.You know, that I, that I really, really lean into it, and like it makes a big difference in my life. And just appreciate it. Yeah, that it's like something that really, Helps me grow. to God. Yeah, exactly, and isn't wasted as just a humiliating moment in a funny story. I'm Adam Minihan: okay with either. Yeah. So for the Minnehands, we we just had our first flag football scrimmage this week.All right. I'm the coach. In a league? Yeah, we're in league. Okay. I'm the head coach. Our good friend, Blake Berger, is the assistant coach. [00:11:00] Good. We have a lot of work to do. Yeah, we have a lot of work to do. The plays in which we drew it, so I got pretty intense, maybe a little too intense some would say.Okay. Drew up a lot of plays. All the kids had wristbands. Plays were on the wristbands. Holding them up. Telling them like colors. We hadn't practiced yet. The first scrimmage was like the practice. So there was some frustration on my part. Yeah. Cause David Niles: it's Forgot to go over like positions. Adam Minihan: Yeah. Yeah. They didn't Oh yeah.No, it's just defense. Yeah. So we're gonna work through that. But, it should be, it should be a fun year. David Niles: Awesome. Do you feel like God is calling you to go on a pilgrimage? Yes.

Here with Adam Minahan, we're drinking a delicious Irish bourbon.I'm just kidding. Obviously. But I did want to talk about the St. Patrick's Day party we threw at St. Benedict's here in Broken Arrow. It was a rager. It was. It was awesome. A ton of people there. Yes. This is, I want to, I just want to tell, this is a hilarious story, so I just wanted to share it. I [00:13:00] wasn't part of this conversation, but it was relayed to me by my father.He's a very trustworthy man, okay? Except when he tells stories, usually. But in this case, I'm pretty sure, as one who has a lifetime of experience curating truth, I'm From falsehood amidst his stories, I'm pretty sure this one's true. Father John O'Neill, good Irish Catholic priest we have here in the Diocese of Tulsa in Eastern Oklahoma, he was there playing some music.Yes. So, he was sitting there talking to some other priests, and they were, like, just joking with each other about how, like, their own, like, ability to bless. And one of the priests made the comment, like, Oh man, I don't know if mine makes it much further than, like, ten feet. I'm And you know, like, I just, you know, I just can't do it, I mean, ten feet, that's about my max, as far as I can, my blessing just doesn't reach further than that.And another guy was like, I think mine goes, like, probably thirty yards. And then Father John O'Neill was like, you guys gotta work on [00:14:00] this. Mine goes a long way. I mean, like, hundreds and hundreds of yards. And he actually said, like, watch, and there was a, he pointed to a guy, Way far away, and he's like watch this and he made the sign of the cross and like blessed him and as soon as he did The dude fell overAnd they all just like lost it, you know, like that's awesome like Right. I do need to talk about like don't you wish you were there?

Like, she looks like Adam Minihan: An David Niles: Irish dancer. Yeah, I mean Yeah, she's picking it up.She definitely has better, like, posture, and it's, a lot of it is in the posture. Adam Minihan: Especially in Irish dance. In Irish dance, specifically, yeah. The postures were very key, right, because they weren't supposed to be, like, Irish dance kind of became a thing because they weren't allowed to dance, and so they, so, you know, they couldn't move their hands around as they're, as they're dancing, so they always kept their David Niles: hands.Because it was, there were penal laws established that actually forbade dancing....
