So if its testimony time and an old deacon gets up to testify, is there a time limit?
Because you know you are a musician in a black church when the pastor leans over past two other minister and signals (generally the quick motions of the fingers) to tell you to play  something so that he would wrap it up!
But you know you are truly in a black church if the deacons thinks you are accompanying him and BEGINS to Sing!!!! LOL

Ayyyyeeeee! I only do that when:

      1. I have to use the bathroom really bad.
      2. The preacher preaches the same sermon again.
      3. When I'm in the spirit and need to calm down....LOL!

When choir members continue to tell you about songs they heard on the radio.  And then they don't want to practice when it's time to learn it.  And then they complain that you aren't playing/teaching it like they heard it on the radio.  And they have no musical background whatsover, but they wanna tell you that you are playing the song in the wrong key/tempo.

and they choose some super complicated and get mad if you say okay we are going to simplify this and then get mad if you ask for a raise because you want to devote more time to studying music so they can sing the super complicated stuff ....

When it's summer and it's hotter in the church than it is outside.

When you have to break the ground off of your good power strip because the church was wired in the late 1800's and doesn't have grounded outlets

If you've ever played the drums with a set of fan handles.

If you've ever made a kick beater out of a wire hanger, a sock, and a rubber band

When there is a set of drum sticks in the piano or organ bench.

If you've had to play for a soloist that by the end of the song had sang in all 12 keys and another 3 that aren't on the keyboard.

When the Leslie volume knob is on 10

When all the churches PA speakers are made by different companies.

When the church is using instrument cables as speaker cables.

When the music is louder than the choir.
