I played for Maundy Thursday church last night. I was way more nervous than usual. Maybe because it was a holiday service? There were fewer people there than I expected, so that made it a little less stressful.
Things went ok. I’m glad, because I’m going to be playing on Easter Sunday. I’m sure there will be quite a few people there. That’s going to be even more stressful! Practice, practice, practice…
I wish I was quicker with my camera at the end of the service. During the stripping of the altar, I closed the lid on the keyboard, and there was a gecko there! I tried to get my phone out of my pocket, but it skittered away.
I’m recognizing the back of people’s heads. Oh dear!!
Is nothing sacred? Insurance salesmen making cold calls during a church service – appalling!
BTW, I’m sure you did just fine on the organ, Brad. Your love of music and your Lord surely carried everything off well. Your congregants are fortunate that you are available to provide accompaniment for this special weekend.
A gecko? Are you kidding me? You might as well live in Australia for all the surprise fauna that appear. 🙂
