“This is Cary.”
“Hey, brother, it’s Pastor M. How are you doing today?“
(danger_radar=ON)
“Doing well, Pastor. How about you and yours?”
“Oh, we’re all blessed, enjoying a Sunday morning.“
(warning_bells=ON)
“Glad to hear it. What’s up?”
“Well, I called to ask how you felt about the song “My Jesus” that we practiced last night?“
(warning_volume=MAX)
“Uhm, pretty good. It’s a great song, and I think we could do it really well if -“
“How about if just the praise band does it, you know, my guitar, your bass, and J on the drum kit, and then you and I would do the vocals, without the Praise Team?“
(danger_will_robinson_subroutine=ON)
“Oh, yea, that would work, and the Praise Team wouldn’t feel like they were just standing up there we should try to-“
(get_as_many_words_in_as_possible=ON)
“Good, let’s plan on doing it for special music today, OK?“
(you_are_on_your_own_i_tried_to_warn_you=ON)
“Uhm, well, I suppose it would be OK, but I would feel better if we had more time-“

“OK, see you at church.” [click]
*sigh*
TMBWitW and I had just sat down to lunch, after registering at Babies “R” Us, and we were going to go register at a couple of other stores. The operative word here is “were” – now my plan became go home, type up the words in letters big enough to see from the music stand, and hope that I could get way better at the whole singing-while-you-are-playing thing. I can play tolerably well, I can sing better than I play. However, I firmly beleive that those who can play and sing at the same time, and do it well, are few and far between. Most of them have recording contracts. Pastor M illustrates my point quite well – and he doesn’t have a recording contract, if you get my drift.
I have to leave now. I have to go run the shuttle, and then the service starts at 5:30. Pary God’s blessing for the results.
In the meantime, God bless you all.
Well if you’re in need of a ‘Jug’ player I’ll wet my whistle and head out to Arizona if needed. Semper Fi!
Just let me know…
I’ll brush up on the spoons also.
LMBO Cary, I know about that stuff, My son plays guitar/drums and sometimes bass in the praise band, He also sings on a few songs while playing. He is one of those snot nosed talented kids, that with anyluck might just get a recording contract…
LOL Cary, I’m sure it went fine.
My Jesus, my Savior, Lord ther is none like You.
Great song Cary.
Gunz – come on out. We need all the help we can get.
Bush – can your boy come out this weekend? I’ll feed him once or twice, if he’ll sit in on Saturday’s rehearsal and Sunday evening’s service…
Sues – well …
gawfer – good tune, wrong song – this one was the Todd Agnew number:
“Which Jesus do you follow? Which Jesus do you serve? If Epeshians says to imitate Christ, why do you look so much like the world?”
Only Pastor was making up phrases as he went, so I just reverted to playing only and quit trying to sing along as he made up words…
Makes me glad I just run the sound board!
LOL –
And if it weren’t for people running sound, the rest of us would look silly gyrating around and nothing coming out of the speakers…
