Seeing as how there are so many worship leaders and p&w musicians here has anyone entertained the idea of a get together for people who live in the same parts of the country. I for one am in Va and would love to get together with forumites in the dc,nc,md, etc area for a weekend of worship music and fellowship. Just thinkin..

Anyone north of Canada??  LOL

I do travel a lot, so if the get-together were at the right time.  I'll be in Florida, DC and St. Louis at various times in the next 6 months.

That'd be fun!

Great Thread!

I don't lead worship, but they occasionally let me do some special music. One of the highlights for me was playing "Windy and Warm" and having some of the kids sponaneously start swaying and clapping.  This is at a VERY traditional church during regular service!  I thought some of the of the older ladies were going to faint!

I've also been blessed with being allowed to play my own arrangement of "Silent Night"  (in Open D) for the last 4 years to close out our Christmas Eve serivce.  They do a candle light thing and turn the lights out and sing a couple verses then I do a couple solo verses before the end.   I looked up after finishing a couple years ago and a middle aged lady, with tears in her eyes, was giving me smile and a thumbs up.  Sent chills down my spine.  That meant more to me than any applause I've gotten playing in a bar.

David, have you recorded your Silent Night? Is there an .mp3 available?

[dberch]

Well, Don, Ask and you shall receive! I just recorded it.  Got a 3meg .mp3 - But I can't post it...  Can I eamil it to you?

It's really a pretty simple tune -at least the way I play it...  I can send you tab for the basic progression.   let me know if you want it?
