playing in church

Saturday, February 28, 2009

I have been playing guitar since an early teenager. I am still learning. I love it. I started singing with it about 10 years ago, should put more effort in that sooner as I also love that. I wasted about 20 years by not playing hardly at all, just a couple of times a year. what a waste. I currently lead the song services at our church. First Baptist Church Berryville Ar. We try to stay fairly traditional on sunday morning and sunday night we get out the instruments and put a little bluegrass to it. Guitar and mandoline, sometimes the banjo. I believe that God gave us people with the ability to make instruments and play them skillfully and voices to sing with. The least we can do is use them for His Glory and honor. Please visit my banjo hangout page for more pics of our chuch and muscians.

I learned to play by ear sitting on stage watching and following my pastor's wife in church. She played rythym on a thick body gibson electric archtop with a single pickup. It took me 25 to 30 years to realize what I really wanted to play was bluegrass. I migrated to other instruments along the way,but always go back to flattop guitar, bluegrass gospel being my favorite.
