My kids rocked the house last night!

My junior high praise band - "Have Mercy" - held its first concert last night. I gotta say, those kids rocked!

We did 10 songs, which were:

1. Born to Love God (our version of "Born to be Wild")
2. Blessed be Your Name (hard rocker by Matt Redman, a Christian artist)
3. No One Like You (another rocker, this one by David Crowder)
4. El Shaddai (mid-tempo song)
5. Mercy (the Duffy song, and it was FUNKY)
6. My God (our version of Prince's "Guitar" and it was FIERCE)
7. Waves of Mercy (a favorite of kids)
8. Shine (a song by the Newsboys, not the Collective Soul song, although we can play that one, too)
9. We Won't Be Quiet (another David Crowder rocker)
10. Gimme Some Lovin' (we tore that song UP)

Man, it was so much fun. If the parents are OK with it, I'm going to put the whole thing up on YouTube.

We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color.

LMAO, actually when I found out that in 2007, Joe Simpson made $7 million for "managing" Jessica and Ashlee, I quickly informed my daughter that I would manage her career and only take 55% as a commission.

She bought it for a year, but now she's too good at math!

It took most of one day. He was besties with a guy who used to do sound for my husband's band, who was borrowing our recording studio, except they ended up liking the acoustics in our kitchen better lol I think he might have recorded 8 songs in all, dunno if they are all on the EP. Dunno how many takes, just him and his guitar.
