I LOVED hearing about your musical history. Makes me want to take a few minutes to tell my story! You're such an inspiration.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10712167060974491049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10377166.post-66795811255353622232008-11-26T11:37:00.000-05:002008-11-26T11:37:00.000-05:00Like you, music has always been SO important for m...Like you, music has always been SO important for me. It was part of our family as well - mom sang and played guitar, dad sang, played guitar, drums, bass...whatever was needed. When I was little, dad's income came from his band "Neil and the Wildcats" (lol!). So music was bound to be part of my life.<BR/><BR/>Unlike you, I never learned to play the piano. I started on trumpet and stuck with it - and 32 years later, I am still playing it. Along the way I've learned guitar, flute, clarinet, saxaphone and a teeny tiny bit of drums. And of course, I sing. <BR/><BR/>It's my goal to be part of the praise team at every church I attend (since we have to move so much). And so far, I have met that need. I played in Atlanta, sang in Germany, did theatrics in Augusta (as part of the creative arts team) and here I'm on the praise team playing once again.<BR/><BR/>It's a gift that God gives us...and how we use it is important. I don't go on the stage to get the kudos for me...I go up for the glory of God....I always say before I play: with His glory, to His glory, FOR His glory. Because it's only with Him that I can be up there!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11956372504248127591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10377166.post-46062979310840321802008-11-26T10:10:00.000-05:002008-11-26T10:10:00.000-05:00I took lessons for years and then quit, too.

I hope that you regain anything you have forgotten quickly!!!!! Also, YEAH for your solo at church. I used to sing at the church I grew up in and loved it! We now go to a church of about 3000, so I don't think they will be asking me to sing anytime soon!!!! WHEW!!!!:) Singing in front of that many would probably not be so much fun!<BR/>KaylaLiving the Good Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02960435640037262321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10377166.post-69812378769862432242008-11-26T09:25:00.000-05:002008-11-26T09:25:00.000-05:00That is cool! :) Maybe someday I will get to hear ...That is cool! :) Maybe someday I will get to hear you play!The Bertone'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06304140718488900572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10377166.post-48929547085539193672008-11-26T07:23:00.000-05:002008-11-26T07:23:00.000-05:00It's good to hear you're not giving up on music ye...It's good to hear you're not giving up on music yet!
