So anyhow I played last Sunday.
I unplugged my guitar to tune up and forgot to plug it back. So I had to plug in while playing when I noticed no sound coming out.
D'oh.
My fam was sitting in the back of the church and said they could barely hear me, which was fine by me. The praise band only got one song in the blended service.
I went back for the pastor-installation service in the afternoon. We did 4 or 5 songs as pre-service music. That went better. And I got some food after, at the reception. Apparently there's another guitarist and we'll rotate between us, although I've said I would play bass if they wanted or needed that. There's a lot less material since their service is "blended" rather than all-contemporary. I'd love to see the blended become mostly contemporary, or just morph into a contemporary service, but we'll see how things go.
