Watch out for that kickball!

So this was a first for me...Worthington Christian Schools had a meet the teacher night at their Westview campus and the principal Jim Parrish asked me to do some praise and worship music. That was really cool...actually it was bloody hot out on the tarmac, but it is the first time that I have ever had to worry about my gear being hit by a kickball...did Come, Now is the Time to Worship, Open the Eyes of My Heart, Amazing Love and ended with traditional hymn Praise to the Almighty...revised for a solo guitar and singer...great night of meeting other parents, praying for our kids and teachers and music. Life is good.

Congrats Rob and Carol

So I have to tell you that I thought I was done doing weddings a long time ago, but Kim and I made a massive compromise to that when Carol Marie Montgomery (Petke now!) asked us. And man, was it a blast. It was great to get to work with them to create something that felt like them. The prelude included Stephen Curtis Chapman's "Cinderella" and I have to say that I hate to make people cry (like with an out of tune guitar) but this was a good cry! I actually had to hold it together myself since the song hits home. I also got to do Rascall Flatts "Broken Road". Nice song. The service didn't have any music inside of it but we got to rock and roll a bit on their recessional - her singluar request was "How Sweet It Is to be Loved by You" and with Kim on the piano, Brandon hustling over out of the wedding party to play lead guitar (on a killer mid 60's Gibson ES 335!), Jonathan Prenosil on bass and Aaron White on drums, we had a blast playing them out of the sanctuary. So that was probably a first for Linworth Baptist Church having a James Taylor song performed and blues guitar solo! Thanks and congrats again Rob and Carol.
