I have heard the light!
I have seen the light (again)! After playing bass on my worship team for a while, I for some reason bought a Floor Pod - which is an effects pedal for the electric guitarist! Anyway, I pleaded with my worship leader to let me fill in if needed on electric and Lo and behold… I get to play it this Sunday.
Now, armed with my new toy - the POD and the set list in advance, I decided to buy a set of headphones and REALLY listen to the songs and learn them note for note. Was it an ear opener! I heard stuff that I just couldn’t hear from my stereo/computer speakers.
I used to use headphones a long time ago but somehow lost the habit, however, I am a new person now - I have heard the light, again.
If you are in a worship team and have not used headphones to listen and learn your songs, please give it a try! It will make you a better team player and musician and it will make your worship leader happy. If you can’t afford headphones, ask your church to sell it’s music stands (yes I don’t like music stands) and buy you a good set of headphones.
