Me too, our group could always use a good bass player. The one we have is just ok.

This is the same set up as our group. About 3-4 times a year we have a percussionist come and play. He is in a different church. We try to stay away from songs that are percussion heavy, so we tend to play slower songs that sound better with strong harmonies. We are in a small town and would...

I always have an issue with man made rules instead of God made biblical truths. Seems like the pastor wanted to change and used a few flimsy reasons up with spin instead of just telling you the reasons he wants change. We can all see spin when it happens. I believe it is just a form of...

Jefferson, NC. We are in the mountains!

Great picnic for the church after morning services.
