horrible. thats why i havent commented yet. i knew at some point you would be askin for me. (when you post too much, you cant hide)
nah. i didnt really play because i usher on 1st sunday. and P&W was struggling. like holdin on for dear life. it actually sounded like a funeral, even during the fast songs. and i was laughin when that thought came in my head because nobody plays fast songs at funerals, so how is that even possible?
at first i wasnt gonna play for the choir, but the director was signaling me to come on. so i went (really shouldnt have). the first song was a song we did for the choir anniversary which was (count) 2 sundays ago. so you would figure it would come out good. wrong. the organist just started playing while i was walking up to the front, and when the drummer wanted him to stop so he could count off and we all come in like we supposed to, he wouldnt stop because "he was already playing". IN THE WRONG KEY but i bet he didnt mention that. so i get on my bass and i start playing the song (right) and im just clashing. i couldnt be out of tune because i tune up my bass before service even when im not gonna play (just in case). so now i gotta find the key he's in, which is not what the choir is singing. The song supposed to start in G and modulate 3 times. He's in F. at no point the song goes to F so how did that happen? at the vamp of the song i got lost because the bass doesnt play root notes, so i know where to go if the song is played right (we would end up in Bb) but we only modulated twice an started in the wrong key so we in G now and im like this is annoying as heck. you could tell the frustration from the choir director and the president, because they both wanted to just shut it down and sit because it killed the spirit. so they sang another song which i didnt know and i tried but i didnt wanna be bothered after that disaster.
