Ash, Well, this is kinda off your question of "me and mine", but yeah, wedding song stuff is in there. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/wink.gif) I played 4 tunes in the service for my producer/recordist's wedding this weekend and was really impressed by one of the tunes I was required to learn. "Grow Old Along With Me". Having never heard it before I'm not quite sure of its' origins, but my buddy sent me a beautiful version of it by Mary Chapin Carpenter, so I had some fine help there! (Lots of real heartfelt rubato passages betwixt phrasings and a very nice interpretation on the theme in the guitar instrumental.) A kinda scary one of the 4 was "Be Not Afraid" which has some frightening references to death in a lot of forms and standing before "the pow'rs of hell" and whatnot. LOL ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/biggrin.gif) I got to liking the melody as I forced myself to practice it; it just didn't seem too "appropriate" for a wedding, but, hey, ya do what the happy couple wants, eh? (They had thought long and hard on their choices, so there was something about that one that was very special to them.... it does have a hopeful phrase on the end of the refrain tho': "...come follow me, and I will give you rest.") I was very fortunate to be sequestered in the choir loft, because that jacket, shirt and tie were discarded in about five minutes of being up there! (Yes, I had a t-shirt on, and I got caught by the photographer in my way-too-casual attire. At least the groom may enjoy those photos; not sure about the other half; it was a very formal "tie and tails" affair. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/eek.gif) ) Man, it was HOT, but the fans stirred up enough breeze to keep me from dripping all over my guitar. Shocking commentary/compliment from another recording engineer in the congregation: "Dude, I thought it was a recording!" Hmmmmm, he didn't say whether he thought it was a GOOD recording or not. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/biggrin.gif) I hereby publicly commend the wonderful cue-ing and pleasant company offered so generously by the organist; she made things go smooth and relaxed. Beforehand, I was a wreck, as I didn't know where the tunes were to be inserted in the service; their order; or their length (some had to be truncated, while others needed to be drawn out to accomodate the completion of certain niceties of the service.) Thanks, Melanie, you made it a happy experience, and the bride and groom were well pleased! (Just glad nobody could see me hiding behind the massive bulk of that keyboard console. lol) ------------------ Ozone http://www.mp3.com/OzonePete
