asl performance of "no church in the wild"

I'll admit, I didn't really know what to expect when I clicked on this link, but I found it pretty compelling. I love the part in the middle with Sam's solo. For more of his videos, check out his YouTube channel here.

UPDATE: I think this video looks pretty cool, though I also admit I don't know a damn thing about American Sign Language. The video has apparently drawn criticism from members of the ASL community: 'No Church In The Wild' Video: Fan-Made Video Draws Criticism From ASL Community.
