Praise/Susan,Thanks for telling us about your commitment to make this music group work. I like your story (excuse me for calling it that, but it rounds off nicely as the plot for a story - interested in writing stories??) on a number of levels.
I like it because it touches some chords for me about jam sessions turning into serious band commitments; with associated heart-wrenching communications with friends who are fellow band/session members; quality outcomes and how to achieve them (re: my organisational and management training & experience); the urgent call to the higher levels of the Universe (God, in your case) for help, and that exasperated, over-worked and underpaid voice from above saying: why don't you work with the one I already sent you; and then the sudden revelation after a brilliant piece of musical synergy that the answer was right under your nose all along.
Thanks - I feel good after reading this.
Helen
