10 Things Techs Wish They Could Say To Worship Leaders

Mon, 2006-10-16 10:37 — steve

1. " I can't break the laws of physics just so you can have more vocal in your monitor. I didn't invent the laws, I just live by them"
2. "Repeating the phrase, 'More me, more me' from the microphone, over and over, comes across just a bit self-centered."
3. "No, there isn't a 'muddy knob' I can turn down to make it sound better"
4. "A new microphone will help some, but let's not expect any miracles."
5. "Do you think you could move the monitor yourself? If not, I'll certainly run all the way down the stairs, across the auditorium and up to the stage to scoot it over three inches"

Sat, 2007-07-21 18:57 — steve

Did a Google search on my BC Rich B-28.
There isn't a lot of information out there.
This is part of a e-mail response to a former owner of a B 28.
Owners  are far and few between.
Based upon what I know to be true of my guitar, below is Dale's response:

Steve,
As far as I know Bernie Rico only used Brazilian Rosewood on early B-28's.
Note that their is no truss rod in the neck.
This is due to Bernie Rico being raised by his father who only made Flamenco
Guitars, In the early 70's Country And Western music became popular and the

Qualities of worship leaders - part 5

Thu, 2007-04-26 15:29 — steve

It is important that we know and understand the word of God. We should read and study His word on a daily basis.
As worship leaders, it is just as important that we continue to be a skilled musician or singer. For example, David appointed musicians who were skillful. That doesn't mean a degree in music is needed; but bad notes and out-of-tune singing should be avoided as much as possible. Poor music quality is a distraction and hinders people from worshipping.
Too many Christian musicians act as if they are so spiritual they don't need to work on their skills or practice their songs. We need to attempt to play our best for the King of Kings.
