It was heartening to have the congregation applaud the song leading yesterday by Jess Morrison, Bernie Schaffler and the vocalists. It shows we are doing something right, as they say. My apologies for not checking the slides of ONLY BY GRACE. Now, that piano note that Jess had to hit on - in the lower register - is seriously dud. Seriously, seriously dud!
Jesus is . . . musical.
- Is there only one note refusing to sound? Has anyone reported the particular problem to John or Mark so it can be looked at the next time the Piano tuner fellow is out? I wonder if it has been looked at on previous visits?
- I checked the piano keys this morning. There are in all five notes that are dud, all in the lower register - one of the five not so dud, but still debilitating for a pianist. What is the likelihood of Jess Morrison adjusting to and being willing to use the electronic keyboard? No problem for Sophie on that score, I suppose. How about selling the piano on e-bay (thus save piano tuning expenses!), which would leave more room for musicians to move around a small area. Later, include a discreet drum, a guitar player or two, plus singers near the organ (Move the organ so it faces the song leader?). Wonder what the Rector thinks about these proposals?
