LAST BUT NOT LEAST
TO PROFESSOR GM HALL (AKA VT GUY)
OH MY JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the way you and I are on the right foot today....on the wrong foot tomorrow........on both feet sometimes in the same day........but never losing balance and falling down all together. That's cool.
Dude, we have had our fights, arguments, and disagreements beyond measure. But all in all I really admire you. Even in the midst of being mad at me, when you heard about the wreck, you ran to the rescue to see if your boy was all right......I knew then that my perception may have been a little off. I apologized then, as I do now.
At first, I was like "the premiere Choir Director of LGM" and then you came.......boy was I furious at first. But there is enough room in God's kingdom to share, which is why I passed the torch to you!
Stay encouraged, though. Few people know the headache we face as Directors. And few will ever truly understand. I felt your pain about thinking that soon they will write songs where we are not needed.....and i really wasn't playing when I advised you to be like me......and just write your own.
Thanks for the post on "what is your favorite song to direct".........dude you woke something up in me that had fallen asleep being the director of the funeral parlor mass choir!!!!!!!!!! I was able to reflect on how I used to feel during and after my favorite song....and no matter how out-of-breath I was, if they started it up again I was down for whatever!
Thanks for that. That was a big part of what helped to birth Complete Change, little as you know! Thanks for the tough love, the fussing, the fights, the disagreements.........through it all, we remain THE BEST TWO CHOIR DIRECTORS ON LGM and brothers in Christ, which is what counts in the end.
Bless you also for doing this much-needed thing for the people of God!
