Things have been rather hectic of late. Spent last Friday until 1 am at the church installing a sound system. Something old, something new...you know the story. Our sound system was from the early 70's. Someone generously donated a mixer board (from the end of the same decade). Another kind saint purchased a set of speakers (new, incidentally). A few new mics,a new amp, etc. Even with the Jurassic mixer the difference in sound was night and day. Well, night and twilight. Better than it was. The sun's still coming up.
Most of the afternoon Saturday was spent tweaking sound and practicing for Easter. My Pastor's son, Matthew, was trying to get through a new song we had slated for the morning service (Once Upon a Cross - Gina Boe/Marty Funderburk) but just wasn't feeling up to it. He ended up missing the whole service. Stage 3 pancreatic cancer at 23 years old. His liver enzymes have skyrocketed and he has swelling that the doctors can't explain. An emergency CAT scan is set up this week. Please keep him in your prayers.
So, I'm actually going to the WAJ/MFTS seminar at the end of the week. Of course, being the meticulous planner that I am, I have yet to get songs finished and demoed for critiques. Just got a new firewire interface this week, but I'm not sure I can learn how to use it in time to get a decent recording. At this point I just need to pick which, if any, songs I will take. Oh, well. It's cool that I am even going.
I'll try and recap the event sometime next week for both of my readers.
