A Song on Our Hearts

This past Saturday our little group sang 9 songs at the Glenn Heights Familyfest. We were scheduled for 1:30, but were a little delayed by the group in front of us. Not a big deal except that the wind was really picking up and I discovered something about singing in 40 mph winds.

1. The good close harmony we worked so hard on is gone, blown away by the wind whistling in the microphones.
2. You can't hear the monitor, the other singers, or anything else, all you can see is the crowd looking pleasant, or bored, or confused.
3. There is a rush to performing that I can understand is addictive. And of course the little let down afterwards.
4. My idea of "flash church" will work. We are working out the details now. More later.
5. I am stunned that I remembered all the words and most of the musical "nuances" I have a habit of forgetting stuff about 96 seconds after I am told what to do. Most music directors find that a little frustrating.

So we sang and had a good time. Folks were both gracious and complementary. I got to do something I hadn't done in 40 years.

We had fun.

So Godspeed out there, I will keep you posted on our next venue.
