NEGATIVE! I know the correct title of EVERY song we sing. It's the singers that don't know what I'm talking about so I have to do it in reverse:

Lift Him Up --Give him the highest praise

Hallelujah -- There is a praise in my heart and I've got to get it out

$:-\$

ROFL

You know you are a musician in a black church when you ask someone to sing a solo and they act like they don't want to sing it so you ask somebody else and they get mad

.....when an auxiliary that's been planning an event for months calls you the day before the event to ask you to move "them speakers and a microphone" (aka - the PA System) from the sanctuary to the Fellowship Hall.

.....when every auxiliary in the church declines your offer to show them how to use the PA System, your repeated, but vain attempt to avoid continued occurences of the above.

(can anybody guess who I just got off the phone with? )

you have to chain the snare drums.

when the offering is collected more than once.

when you know you're preaching right before they call you to preach.

when you get tired of seeing George Washington.

and it's a piccolo.

when the offering is collected more than once.
and they say "do yer best, do yer best"

when you know you're preaching right before they call you to preach.
...and they say "be ye also ready"....holy out of context Batman.

when you get tired of seeing George Washington.
....so you look at martin luther king on the fans from the funeral home.

When your MOM always comes to rehearsal unprepared but gets mad at you when you haven't learned one of 50 songs she's thrown at you and then forgot about, and then brought back up on a whim.

...OTN, when they throw a song(s) at you at rehearsal and get mad because you don't know it (them).

when you practice 10 songs give by the director and then the day of rehearsal they don't do any of them

When you play on a janky organ because the church wont pay for it to get fixed.

I'm SO glad you said this. I saw this at a baptist church here locally, and I didn't know such an animal even existed! I was trying to see what he was doing, lol. Now it all makes sense.

ykyaamiabcw the choir is singing and you forget the song while playing so you just play some passing chords or some hits knowing you jacked it all up but after the service people tell you how well you played..........

keysrme2010 · « **Reply #158 on:** September 20, 2011, 11:06:05 AM »

when you play for another church and they hand you an envelope saying "I hope this will bless you, thanks for coming" and when you get to the car its only 10 dollars....

after praise and worship you are sleepy!
