Blessed Be the Rock (very Fun)

I can bring my folder home if you want more.
These have gone over well at church.

Check out Loyd Rieves on Myspace. We just completed a new praise and worship record. I used a 5 string stingray on everything but 2AM (fender jazz plus 4 string)

I know this is an older thread, but my band has been working on a version of the old hymne/chorus that goes something like "what a friend we have in Jesus." We taped it during a rehersal, and put on our myspace; www.myspace.com/21northolive

You may want rearrange of order to the songs on your website. You go from House of the Rising Sun a song about southern brothel to What a Friend We Have In Jesus. Unless you are into Taoism and looking for balance.

Sorry if you were offended, but I did not know that house of the rising sun was about a brothel. It was recomended by our trumpet player, and I have not even heard another version of it other than ours. I will strongly suggest that it be removed from our profile and omited from our upcoming demo. Again, I'm sorry for posting this in this forum about Christian music.

No offense I was just making an observation. I know House of the Rising Sun because it is the first song I ever sang and the last. I stopped singing by popular demand

Want to raise some eyebrows? How 'bout playing Keith Green punk style :P

I play with a group that constantly is reworking songs like "Rushing Wind" to Lit's "My Own Worst Enemy" riffage...

or "Breathe" Pearl Jam-esque...

It's fun!

When I was in music school everytime I practiced with a group we would do our last time thou each tune by playing it Reggae style. It was a blast and bit of a stress reliever. The best was with the Jazz Improv group, play Real Book tunes as Reggae was hilarious and some worked.

We do quite a bit of that in our songs as well. We recently started doing a version of Hard-Fi's "Cash Machine" and replaced the lyrics with those of a reggie-isk Christian tune entitled "Come to Me". It's pretty cool at youth retreats when you can tell that certain kids immediately recognize the song.
