Main Set:

Trading My Sorrows (Evans)(G)

Your Grace is Enough (Maher)(G)

Obviously, ther's something missing here. Those who read this blog regularly will ask "Where's the Hillsong tune?" Well, we didn't have one! So there!

It was "More Acoustic Than Usual" day for me. The first four songs of the main set are all songs I do on acoustic, and my right arm was getting a workout! We won't even talk about the condition of my right pinky after fretting the E string four songs in a row. Piano players have it easy!

This time of year tends to get a little challenging regarding scheduling and filling spots. We're down a couple of vocalists due to summer schedules, but we have two new singers who've been rehearsing with us. Hopefully they will be starting soon. We were also short Danny, who was preaching at a different church as part of his college ministry, So Elyano stepped in to play bass.

We also began - for the first time this year - to work on some new music. I'll post separately on our process and how we've included the congregation, but it's time to make some changes to the song list. Yesterday at rehearsal we worked on "All Because of Jesus" by Fee. Aquim was all over the song on drums, and I had spent some time with my effects chain to get the tone and delays right. The multi-delay on the Echo Park pedal did the trick well, and our vocalists did a great job with the song - even though we were playing it in the original key of C. (I had also prepped to do it in A.) Expect to see that song in a setlist soon.
