H2O Church - Orlando, FL
Leading: H2O Band
This was a last-minute thing for me. When I say last minute, I mean about a week's notice. However, I didn't look at the music for this musical worship set until the Friday before. The song list itself was okay. Some I've played, some I haven't. I enjoy playing with Ryan. He's always got these ideas for intros and such and he likes to include the bass player (me). That makes me feel good. Sometimes I feel disconnected in my little corner because the leader is always talking to the electric guitarist or the drummer so much, but never talks to me. Anyway, I'm getting more comfortable with the top two strings on my bass. It's really exciting.
The musical worship eperience itself was good. I believe that JT is benfitting from the little breaks he gets by allowing the Thursday band to play on a Sunday. Hopefully, we can find a better solution than that for the long term (read: allow me to lead some times). I think I made a few minor wrong note mistakes through out the set. All in all, I believe I did very well. I didn't sing along as much this time. I was always trying to do something funky with my guitar. There was genuine worship from the congregation, as well as the band members, throughout the set. That's really what we're here for, right?
Now, I just need to get better at improvisation so I can hang during the pre- and post-jam sessions.
