Very interesting read. Any particular reason for # 6? Again good to know you have roots and are faithful.
ReplyDeleteOur musicians in church don't have any background on music sheets and the like. They just hit the keys and all's well! =)
ReplyDeleteBut it's characteristic to them not your faith.
ReplyDeleteI will argue you on that matter. All I have understood is, it is also a characteristic of the musicians in our faith. They learn to play the instruments in church and nurture their musical capabilities there.
ReplyDeleteMy bad. I should have put a question mark. That was my curiosity with #6 if their playing was a product of the environment. Anyway this is me back when I performed musically years before you were born I guess http://cornholiogogs.multiply.com/journal/item/996/The_Queen_Invites_The_World_From_BC_Place_Stadium_March_1983_Video
