Instrument Preferences

Over the past few years I've mostly been playing bass guitar, with keyboard thrown in occasionally. Daniel Brymer, on his last Sunday at Living Streams, moved me over to the piano. Since then, I have been scheduled for piano maybe 1/3 of the time. I just received the May schedule and it looks like I'm back on the piano full time. I'm really looking forward to it as I've felt like I've let my piano skills degrade over the last few years while I played bass more, and hopefully I can improve my skills while not hitting too many bad notes in the process.

Mat Weddle

Today was my second time on the Living Streams worship team with Mat Weddle (who you may recognize from YouTube) leading. He's a really great guy and I hope he gets scheduled for more Sundays. It seemed like he felt a lot more comfortable leading our church's worship service this past Sunday than he has in the past, and as a result the worship set was amazing. He has a sincere heart of worship, and a great ability to lead others into a genuine worship experience, and that was on display this past Sunday. Unfortunately, the next time he is playing is on Mothers' Day, which I requested off (finally - I had played it 3 years in a row, which included my wife's first Mothers' Day - big oops!), so I'm not sure when we'll be playing together next, but I am looking forward to it.
