Rockin' the House

Hey.... just cuz Christa came back doesn't mean you'd get rid of me!!!! LOL, somebody, please laugh.... :P
Annnnnyway. It's Beth. *tee hee* In case you haven't figured that out by now. So I want to send a BIG THANK YOU to the 3 guys who helped us last night.... you are all amazing and talented. (Don't know what 3 guys I am talking about? Please direct your attention to Christa's most recent post, then continue from here.... lol) And honestly, to hear what I plan out in my head come to life like that is soooo awesome. Plus I love having drums. Yes, drums are so wonderful to have. And another guitarist, one you can just take off on a solo like that, so we can still get the nice fat sound of the chords continuing, but have a face melting lead guitar in there.... gotta have that. :) And last but not least, a bass.... cuz what's a band without a bass may I ask??? You have to have that rhythm pounding away back there. Gotta gotta. :)
Josh (our sound guy...... another person that Destination: Paradise is absolutely depending on) recorded the song Freefall for us.... and it sounds awesome but for the vocals. Why?

1) Due to our extreme rocking of the house, it was basically impossible to turn up the mics without getting a lot of feedback. A lot. So the mics were very very very quiet. This will change though.... we just have to rock quietly. Sheesh. :P

2) Because the mics were quiet and the guitars and bass and drums were so loud, Christa and I couldn't hear ourselves. Nope. Nada. So we winged it. And poor Christa did pretty well. Well.... let's just say we can't wait to hear ourselves next time we play :)

But besides that..... GOD IS INCREDIBLE. No kidding. He is moving in ways I don't understand, just when I feel like throwing in the towel, cuz someone makes me feel like I'm not good enough, cuz someone makes me feel like I'm chasing dreams, for any reason, it is like I can hear him whispering, "Hold on a little bit longer.... I have such a beautiful and perfect plan for you if you can trust me. So what if you can't hear yourself, and it may sound terrible, it may sound repetitive or 'not cool'..... but if you are playing for me and living for me, I will make your lives into such beautiful things." And now this!!! Playing an original in front of (who knows?) 70 to 80 people..... God will always be the source of great things. And I'm only beginning to see that.

Beth

Stay strong, rock on!!!
