On Lead Guitar

June 25, 2006
Pastor Nancy preaching
8:00 & 10:45: “LIFE IS DIFFICULT, BUT GOD IS GOOD.”
9:15: VBS Celebration

I’ve had number of people go out of their way to compliment my guitar work on Sunday, which initially struck me as kind of odd, as I was just hitting A minors and Ds. Then it occurred to me: People must be thinking I was playing that terrific lead solo we heard in “Jesus Is Just Alright.” That was in fact the work of TYLER S., who had positioned himself behind the percussionists. The Sanctifications were already evolving into a very tight combo; the one thing we lacked was a guitar player who could go high on the frets. I’ve received ’s participation as manna from heaven.
