Song Change 'N More

I just posted down bellow on the list the new song - Remedy. I have it linked to a video full of depressing pictures but, at least you can hear the song.

And here's the "More" part. I just wanted to express, first of all, my gratitude for everyone taking time out of their lives to be a part of the band. Not only for being a part of what is, I feel, possibly the most important part of the weekly meetings we call "church" - the part where we all as the people of God, together sing out in worship and in response to what God is doing. But also for myself as a musician who enjoys playing other musicians - especially good ones. You guys are a joy to play with and I'm very excited to see what's going to happen as we develop together as a band.

So now that we've grown a little with a a couple new additions I'd like to address that togetherness. One thing that I feel is very important is that we take some time to get to know each other. You guys aren't a bunch of pairs of hands that mash their fingers on keys and fret boards and hold a pair of sticks. I believe that to get to a point to where we can creatively be free with each other we need to get to know one-another. And more importantly, as a worship band, in order to be together and free in our endeavor to lead people in worship, we need to be together and free with each other. So here's my point: I think it'd be great to hang out with you guys - get some coffee, catch a show, get together for a bqq/dinner - whatever it may be.

The other thing I'd like to address is our collective creativity. First of all, a bit of an apology on my part is in order. For the most part, the creative process I go through concerning the songs we play on Sundays has largely happened outside of our practices. More specifically Megan and I, being good friends, tend to bring out our instruments when we hang out and inevitably that's where most of the creative process has occurred. It's been selfish of me to leave the rest of the band out of the loop for the funnest part of playing together - creating music. So, my sincerest apologies to everyone. That being said, I'd like to invite everyone to make this band your own and bring your creative touch to the music we play. How we put this together, I don't know at this point and this is part of where you guys all come in. We're going to take a little time at the beginning of next weeks practice to talk this over and see how we can find a way to allow all of us to actually make music together. If you have any comments or suggestions, questions or whatever you can, of course, get a hold of me - email or phone - or you can add a comment to this post.

See you all Sunday if not before.
