Title: NEED IDEAS IN 3 DAYS...PLEASE HELP!
Post by: changedman on August 22, 2006, 11:02:18 PM
My musician for my music ministry is being honored at one of the 3 churches he plays for Sunday.  The ministry is on program to sing, and are supposed to be giving him a gift.  I need some gift ideas (money in a card is tacky - to me - and therefore not an option).

What do musicians like?

ASK HIS WIFE WHO CUSSED ME OUT IN THE STUDIO?  Yeah, right.  But the rest are good ideas.

I may be going out on a limb, but ask him if there is anything that he needs.  You don't have to tell him why.  I just believe that a good gift is one that gets used.

Well, we pray that the words on the card made him smile and that the $100 enclosed will be used wisely.

Thanks guys.

Well if it had been me on the receiving end, I would've cried at the words, and shouted for the cash!

He mentioned in his "Thank You" speech yesterday that he spends 90.9% of his time in Radio Shack.

So, the members of the ministry who did not attend yesterday's event are pitching in to get him a gift certificate there!

They had 8 choirs on program, but one other choir (plus HD&CC) were the only two guests there!  He had a look of disappointment on his face until WE got up to sing and then he looked like he was in hog heaven!!!!!

I had asked him to just sit there and enjoy his appreciation while the other musicians played...but in the midst of directing, I heard the sounds of FALLING RAIN coming from the keyboard...looked over to my left...and sure enough....he was playing!  That absolutely made my day!!!!
