Teflonminds88 I TOTALLY DISAGREE with your statement. I am the MOM at the church where I play and being humble is one thing and totally throwing off the choir and the lead is another thing. Been in that situation before where you are leading a song and the drummer and other instruments are not on one accord makes bad. However, I did adjust and that was not what the MOM wanted. Sometimes COMMON SENSE has to fall before humble when there is more involved than just a MOM.
Just because I am the MOM it is not a position that I hold on anyone's head if we don't work together it don't work.
Thanks bigblackdrummer! The MOM did apologize the next time I saw him. We will get together and work on that song. When you let the Lord lead you can't go wrong. Be blessed.
I'm confused....WHO IS THE MINISTER OF MUSIC?

Anyway..Now that i think about it, if the beat is just SOOO off that you're messing up the song, then you should probably stop. My statement was more for if the mistake was minor (i.e.- if the song was a drive, and you were swinging it, or maybe if a song was a 6/8 ballad and you played a 2/4 shuffle.)
