Music

After a few weeks of trying to coordinate Shirley's and my schedule with two other guitarists' schedules, I ended the frustration with a phone call.

The guitarist of the failed band I had been a part of here in OKC answered, we spoke....and the world was healed!


OK, I'm being silly and dramatic. The world is, and will be, healed by Christ, directly and through us. But, the music news is, the guitarist and I will get together this Sunday night! We will work again on a couple of covers--Stone In Love (Journey), Temples of Syrinx (Rush), and the Rover (Zeppelin). I want to do a song we did in Stage Dive--"Technical Support." He will bring his 8-track recorder, he has chords ready for lyrics, and I have lyrics ready for chords! We'll video the rehearsals and recordings. I'll probable sing on the tracks to begin with, until we get a really good singer. And he will play bass on the tracks until we get a bass player. Lyrically, what will we do? Ah, it will be fun. Our plan is to do some poking around at problems in the world, do a little satire, as well as some serious stuff. I have pretty much infinite freedom to write as my mind and heart dictates. Musically, what will we sound like? Hard and melodic, I should think.

One new song I wrote (lyrics) yesterday pokes fun at crazy drivers, out of control cops, greedy businessmen, and need of reformation for the prison system. I call it, "I Treat My Dog Better Than That."

The other guitarist can jump in when he's ready, or there will be another music effort with him. We'll see how that plays out. But I'm excited to get it going.

The weekend is here--have a great one and good worship Sunday. Join us if you're here and looking for a place to be.
