well, i sort of slacked last week on updating during camp, but to my defense we were in remote parts of the Mark Twain National Forest in the middle of Missouri where there was little to no internet or phone connections … so …
it was a great time. Forest Hill Community Church (memphis) and First Baptist (arnold, mo) combined for camp together. I didn’t start out the week so hot. we were supposed to leave monday morning a little before noon … i woke up at 5:30 puking and Craig (drummer) woke up with the beginning of a bronchial infection. but we made it through and had a great week – if we only had an electric player we would have rocked the walls. i had never played with Craig and Phil (bass) before, and both are amazing!
We head out today for a week of camp where we’ll be leading worship for students and leaders in the middle of the sticks of Missouri.
This is a dual church camp:
Forest Hills Community Church (Memphis)
First Baptist Church (Arnold, MO)
Looking forward to it. I’ve got Craig Rigney flying in from Texas to bang the beats, and Phil from FBC Arnold on the bass with me on guitar(s). Should be a good time.
Not sure yet if there’s any internet access, so photos may be few and far between.
FHCC … that’s Forest Hills Community Church (for those of you playing at home). FHCC is located in a Memphis suburb called Eads, which is in the mix of Cordova, Collierville, Germantown and maybe some more.
I just setup the camera and hit record for the night … after watching the video, I probably should have put it on the other side so we could get more of my guitar and less of my 50lb gut (man, that thing needs to go!)
First song is one of mine called “Alter of Praise.” Second is from Nickel & Dime and John Shirley called “Ultimate Man.” Sounded so, so, so, so, so much better live, but what do you expect from a $130 junk-ola Canon video camera from Woot.com?
I’ve also got Rayden’s message rendering, so once that’s ready, up we go with it. It’s really good. Standby.
