“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-“

“Good, let’s plan on doing it for special music today, OK?“

“Uhm, well, I suppose it would be OK, but I would feel better if we had more time-“

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.
