I've had A LOT of positive feedback from our acoustic chapel. Great work everyone! Good job keeping your eyes and ears open and being flexible :-)
Because we've only got 1 practice to get ready for our worship set this Sunday at Jubilee Christian Centre, I ran a list of 8 songs past Mrs. Freeman to see which ones would work with their congregation. Below is the list we came up with for Sunday. I'll be playing keys as I don't have a bass and I don't want to put too much pressure on A.V. There is a possibility that M. Freeman will be able to cover the bass guitar with us.
We need to be at the church (here the address: 458 35 Ave NW, Calgary) at 8:30 am Monday morning. Please be on time so we can set up and do a good sound check and run through of our songs. C.Z. - this will be an acoustic drums set (that is mic'ed so wonderfully!) so you might want to prepare yourself to play a little less heavy handed :-)
