Thread Name: The Hell of Worship - pitfalls of church music
Subject: Music Librarian, equipment
OK, enough of the people side of this for now--

MUSIC LIBRARY! I'm drowning in STUFF!!! "Thank you Susan but don't we ALSO have this song in the key of E flat?????" With some timely help from the church secretary, I just produced three fat matching binders of nursing home service material... one for each of us who goes off and does these, sometimes with other folks to play along. In the folder pockets, players' chordsheets and people's singalong leaflets for instant church, I think 10-12 sets, for up to 50 people and five band members, presto! To live in our cars. (You may be a musician if.....)

And....

You don't think we haul our sound equipment in and out of the church every week I hope! So, WHO BROKE TOM'S AMP so we could not catch his vocal last Saturday night, and who twiddled all Hardi's knobs (ooops! too much imagery!) on HIS amp? The church didn't buy it-- it's all ours individually-- so now there's the question who pays to fix Tom's amp? (I say the church.) And WHERE is that missing microphone we need to resume recording the services????

Oh well...... I love you, too, Jesus.
