One task of the weekend was to record 33 Christmas carols.
I served as the technician, my wife as the musician. The computer actually worked fairly well — once or twice my CD mastering program spazed out (great 1970’s word!). Other than that, the CD’s are on their way.
A few years ago a lady had asked us to prepare a CD with songs that a church could sing to (the preposition is on in the position because I couldn’t find another position for it to be at). The church is a true community church in a resort village. Perhaps these types of churches are the ones we should investigate when we talk about not having denominations anymore!
Over some of the Christmas season there may be no pianist at this church. And February also looks sparse. So we are now preparing to create another CD of regular hymns.
Which reminds me that worship services are not based on having great musicians — although that doesn’t hurt. Worship is about people and God, not how good I can appear to God!
