For the past few weeks (four actually, I think), I've been playing the piano at my church. It's definitely had its goods and bads, but overall, they haven't replaced me with recordings so I feel like I'm doing well!
This past Sunday, though, not only did I play, but I sang too. BIG step! Just a couple of months ago, I couldn't play an entire song without approximately 5,283 missed notes. But our usual song leader couldn't be there, so I decided to give it a shot. Hey, church karaoke ... could be easier than I think ... right?! In the words of one of my friends: "Thank God for God." There is no way I pulled that off without divine intervention, for real. He must've been thinking very good thoughts and sending them all in my general direction. :)
I even got compliments from the congregation - and they wouldn't lie, would they? Especially while they're in church?! I hope? I kept looking for the lightning, but it didn't happen, so maybe they were truthing.
Hey, I did it, and it didn't suck real bad. In my book, that's a successful gig.
