Jim, funny you should ask. We sang a few times when they were small, but, as they got older, my oldest son began a Christian rock band when he was around 16 called Jesus Flying Rocket Ship. Steve played drums with them for a while. Then they got a different drummer and became "More Than Electric". They got an agent and went on "tour" all the way from Ohio to California back in the 90's. They all got married eventually and moved separate ways. So as an adult I never sang with them again. Until in a few weeks, my husband plays drums at our little church. We started going there a year ago, and it is the most unusual church we have ever gone to. The pastor loves Jesus, but is very unorthodox in the services. He just wants more of Jesus. He got radically saved while in prison, so our little church has a lot of very "colorful" people in it, that some churches would look down their nose at. When we first started going there, I looked at the people and thought, they are all misfits...so I should fit right in. ;-). Anyway the music team consists of the pastors wife singing and a piano player. Then they asked my husband to play drums. The music leaves a lot to be desired professionally speaking, but they love Jesus. The ladies are going on a retreat in a few weeks, so that left no one to lead the songs. My husband offered to find musicians, and asked his former church musician friends to come. It's a two hour drive for some of them, but, they are "Getting the band back together" for this one Sunday. they haven't played toegether for about 20 years, so this will be fun. Tom, my husband asked Tommy, to join, and he relunctantly consented, after asking a million questions. Tommy is rather finicky. So for the first time in probably 35 years, I will be singing with my oldest son, my husband on drums, and Steve watching, I guess. Steve was the little blond in the video. They all have great voices. The other musician friends are coming from around two hours away. They are really exellent, studio grade, Christian musicians. The bassist used to play with Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods. Remember "Billy Don't be a Hero"? He was in that band. Dave Krock's his name. If you are near Arcadia, Ohio, you should come. It is Oct. 13, 10 AM, Kings Church, Arcadia, Ohio. a little dinky church. We had a tent revival this summer and after that, the pastor decided to get rid of the rows of chairs, and we now sit around tables. Kind of nice. Now I can draw in church. Tee hee. I would love to break up this post with paragraphs, but, the cursor keeps jumping back to the beginning. Grrr. Is there a way to fix this? Anyhoo, I also play my harp every Sunday before they start the service, to set the atmoshere. That's another episode. That's my painting over the baptistry.
