Sunday Set List
Wow! Another Sunday in the books!
If you are reading this and wondering why in the world I would take the time to jot down my thoughts about a church service, you need to keep reading.
I work with some really cool folks at Heatherwood Baptist. They make my job easy. I say job but it's not really. It's all about worshipping our creator!
Anyway, all that to say that we as a band had some challenges this week. This may get too technical for some and I apologize. No one is reading anyway, right? Ok, we used click tracks on every song this week! For those of you who don't know what a click track is, it's a metronome sound keeping time on a certain tempo that only can be heard in the bands in ear monitors. This is a big hurdle for us as a band. And if you don't think it's tough then think again. Keeping perfect timing is hard! Especially for someone like me who can barely play guitar and sing at the same time.
Also, this week was our first attempt at using a backing track. Now I know what you are thinking. backing track equals Milli Vanilli/Ashlee Simpson kind of thing. No way! We used a track on "Lead Me To The Cross" that consisted of a little bit of synth sounds and a drum loop. Now you ask "why" right? Ok, I will tell you. Loops and backing tracks are commonly used for making up for sounds that your band cannot produce live. For instance we don't have two keyboards, so our keyboard player can concentrate on playing piano sounds and the tracks will take care of the synth sounds. Wow, I'm rambling! You are smart, you get the picture.
All in all we had a great service. The message made me really think.....deeply.....dangerous I know. Pastor Tom announced the fact that we are facing some tough financial times ahead. God still performs miracles! And we as a church believe that! He will provide!
