Some of my favorites from the last couple weeks...

I ended up picking up some new music at CMS and I'm really enjoying having some fresh stuff on my iPhone.

Here are a couple of my favorites:

Dry Bones/Gungor  Man oh man, do I love this song!

Set list for 5.22.11

Hi All ~ hope you are all doing well!

Here's what's up for Sunday:

Rooftops/Performed by Jesus Culture (C#)
Our God/Tomlin, Redman (E)
Indescribable/Story (B)
Hosanna/Fraser (D) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqonVjXwkcQ
His Glory Appears/Samson, Zschech (D)
A Shield About Me/Thomas, Williams (D) medley with I Exalt Thee chorus

Band - Hosanna is a new song for us.  It's a musically and lyricly simple song, I can carry from the keys. 

Viz/ppt Team - You don't have to add I Exalt Thee to the presentation if you don't want....it just repeats and I can give vocal cues.

Woo Hoo!  ~  Jen

New Songs for Practice on 5-25

So, as we discussed at the team meeting, we will be using our practices more for new song development vs. Sunday set work.  I will post the songs with audio if available about a week or so in advance.  That will give us time to work on certain tags, riffs, harmonies, etc before we come to practice. 

Lay My Burden Down
I had so much fun listening to the Blue Counsel do this at CMS.  I think it will be a great addition to our repertoire, and that the congregation will have fun with it too!  I don't have an audio link for you, but it is available on iTunes if you want to check it out.  I can also copy to a cd for you.  Just let me know.

You Won't Relent/Misty Edwards

Mitch, I'd like to do the hook/rif like in the recording....we can talk about whether it should be guitar or keys. 

I will email chord charts shortly!  Jen

Set list for 5.8.11

Hi everyone!  Hope all is well with you guys. 

I got the CMS event badges, so if you told me you wanted to attend, please see me Sunday to get yours.  There are 2 full days of events - the workshop schedule is linked in one of my previous posts.  I plan on being there by 2pm on Friday, and will be there all day on Saturday.  If you would like to ride with me and Rachael, let me know!   Meals are not provided.  Last year we went out a couple times to some local places.  We can play that by ear.
