speaking as a preacher, bassist, and organist, I would agree with the above...stay out of the organists' way. As a preacher, organ and drums is usually enough. If other instruments get involved and start getting carried away playing other notes and missing hits, it can become a distraction. LOL. As an organist, when I'm trying to flow with another preacher, it gets harder when other instruments start trying to guess what I'm doing. As a bassist, I want to be part of the action but I realize that if I wait for the right time (end of the preachers monolouge where the whole band holds one note that sounds like an earthquake) my contribution is more effective. just my 2 cents...
