What I did most of this past Sunday….

Above:our whole group, band and vocalists… for our Praise and Worship team at church.
Below, my niece, Angie. She is also the Pastor’s wife at our little church… but we are growing soooooo fast!
Mr. Bassman, Cody is also a good singer. he’s a superb young man I admire and always I enjoy hearing him sing and play. Behind him in this picture is the keyboard wildman, James.
James also is our Youth ‘Pastor’ type person. He’s always a lot of fun and very talented too. We have a great crew!
Below are Me and Angie and then our violinsit, Amy. She is getting better all the time.
And moi of course…
Here’s Cody singing and Kyle playing the guitar in the background.
Our drummer, Rob and Mr. guitarman, Dave are rockin’ the house!
This one has our newest member, Sam, playing acoustic guitar. He sings too. Sam happens to also be our new ensemble director. That’s been going well since around Christmas. He is multi-talented and a funny guy too. He picks on me… but it’s fine… I simply pick back!

we sang… and sang some more…

Need I say more…?
This is an artsy shot (below)… the guy I asked to shoot a few pics was lying on the floor just in front of the stage to get this shot.
Thanks Chuck!
We were recording a CD that we’ll use to give out to visitors when they come. Hopefully, it’ll make them want to return!

In case you were concerned… I did see the Super Bowl though!
Have a great week!!

The church band is really impressing . Many talented people in it and at first this singer woman named Deb and also her niece . You sang with your heart Deb . What kind of song do you sing ? gospel or religious songs known or songs written by the leader of the band .
Thank you for this report that shows us an important part of your life .
I hope the new job brings back you many satisfactions . It is certainly less tiring than the previous .
Super Bowl ? Go Patriots !!!
Love

Super bowl, Schtooper bowl. Yada yada. I think the Simpson’s (huge in our house) did the funniest things though. When they were talking about the super bowl the announcer quickly and almost unaudibly said “And now to the super bowl so that we can see just how sad America’s priorities are”. HAHA I was dying. And crying. Sad but true. BUT don’t think I am saying this as a bad thing that you watched it. I was just going on there. On my own direction. I love and accept all my friends and their interests.
Your band looks awesome. I still have very vivid memories of the first time I was in a church whith live “rockin” music. I say this as opposed to other churches I went to who did only the hyhm thing. I still get goose bumps thinking of how they sounded.
Live music is amazing. Live music singing the words of god is awe inspiring. I wish I was close enough to come hear you guys. I know I would enjoy it.
You and Angie look a lot alike. Im sure you have heard that alot though
You guys are both very beautiful.
blessings on you and your wonderful band. It looks like you guys all have great time being and singing together.
Love
Sarah
