i guess the Lord felt to give me a double portion today. Today i decided to play my MIM Fender Jazz (had it for about a month and a half as a backup, but i've been startin to like it) for the service. Praise & worship was off the hook. i was rockin it and everything and the whole church was with it. feelin good.
then when the choir sang, the B selection was "Jesus Whoop" by Norman Hutchins. When we got to the "Jesus" vamp it took off. I was totally groovin and i got to use some of the fills i picked up from "Keys to the kingdom" by Milton Brunson (cause the bass is simple but off the hook in that song). Then the minister got up to bring the word while everything was still going so we brought it down a bit so he could start talking. He's my brother so we have good communications and signals when it comes to things like that, so he gave me the signal, and we went off. and the whole church just went up. he didnt even get to bring the word. like i say, my drummer is 14 so he has that crazy energy so i feed off of him, and while i was playing it came to me this particular thing that really gets him going. so i played it and he was off. after a while i was out of my seat, and then i went into this other move that gets him going and he was so hyped he was standing up playing the drums. at one point during a pause i went over and started hitting his drums and then came back in with the bass. it was wild man. thats a crazy praise that we were long overdue for.
and u know after something like that, i was just worn out. thats how u know u had a good service. God is good.
