Bob, your heart, humility and love for the Saviour challenges me to draw near to Him and to worship Him more and more every day. Thanks for being transparent and encouraging with other churches and thanks for being one of my mentors as a worship leader and pastor.

Jeremy,

I asked Dave Wilcox, our tech director, and he said we use two AKG C414EB mics on the piano. They’re suspended above the strings. It’s a 7 ft. Steinway piano. Hope that’s helpful.

If you want to know more you can visit Dave’s blog. I highly recommend it for tech teams.

Hey dude, that song in the video is new to me, but it reminds me of old transparency projectors and times where my parents led the congregation with two acoustic guitars (not plugged in). Anyways, I can understand wanting the vocalists to hit all their notes and things like that. One thing I had thought, however, is that someone who inconsistently sings out of key every now and then, in a humble manner might cause more people to engage in a more selfless response because they realize they don’t need to be Whitney Houston or Stephen Tyler in order that God hear them and be pleased. I think the reason a lot of guys at my college don’t sing is because they’re shy with their voices, should that keep them from singing out with all they have? Sometimes it doesn’t.

Bob,

First, thank you for your enthusiastic, impassioned leadership in worship at CLC.
Second, congratulations to you, Megan and family in the birth of Gavin. I was amazed, and a little concerned, that while she sang as enthusiastically as her father, she might fall over.
This was a wonderful arrangement. I especially enjoyed the tight stylistic melding of the percussion and guitars. Amazing!

Grace & Peace,

Craig

The piano sounds especially great on this recording. What kind of piano mic or pickup do you use?

Jamie,

Do I ever find mysef halfway through an interjection and find that I don’t know how to finish it?

Uh, yes. I find that happens more when I’m thinking about saying something rather than what I’m singing. If I’m really engaging with the words it’s not hard to say something in response to them. But like most things, both practice and experience help.

Bob,
This is great. One question: do you ever find yourself halfway through an interjection and find that you don’t know how to finish it? I hope I’m not the only one who experiences that…

Ryan,

Ralph Moore, the vocalist, is the one singing harmony when you hear it. Otherwise, we’re doubling the melody, and yes, that’s so I can interject phrases and also have a tenor part on choruses.

Kyle,

I’d be delighted if you ripped off the arrangement. That’s why I posted the chart.

As I mentioned yesterday, it’s so very helpful to see all of your teaching in action. I love watching the guitar player in this clip. So passionate about what he’s playing. Are you doubling melody with the other gentelman in the clip or is one of you singing harmony? I’m having a hard time telling. If you are doubling melody, is that for greater freedom for you to interject things in the music?
