aww man. where do i start. well this sunday was my sunday to usher, but as i was setting up my bass and equipment (i still have to play for the choir selections so i set up before service starts) i get handed a list for p&w. i said im not playing because i got to usher and handed it back, but then i said, "let me look at that, just in case i gotta come up here". Geez, boy was i right. The first song was "the presence of the lord is here" and the organist still dont know how to play it (even though they did that song every rehearsal for the past 3 or 4 p&w rehearsals) so i went up to play. have no idea what key he was in and the drummer hadnt come in yet, so the tempo was soooooooo off. finally we got it together (kinda like duct taping your car bumper on until you get to the shop. technically, its on, but anybody can tell that its a wreck) the next song was "high & lifted up". this dude changed the key that its in (i abso-tive-pos-olutely HATE when he does that.) and he just sucked the life out of the song (as if the p&w team wasnt doing a good enough job of doing that themselves. p&w was atrocious. and they didnt even try to redeem themselves. when they were done i couldnt put my bass down and go to my usher post fast enough.
choir was decent. pretty solid. actually the second song "Gods Got a Blessing (norman hutchins)" was pretty good and took off. well mind you my brother led the song and we were both on our usher posts earlier in agreement that p&w was horrible. maybe he felt the need to really reach out.
