Singing With the Band
I've spent this week at music camp, stretching my horizons. I co-directed the top choir successfully, after never directing a solid musical group before. I joined the praise band elective and played bass guitar, an instrument I had very little experience with.
I've loved my time here, seeing how much these kids have developed in maturity, attitude, and musicianship in just eight days. This has been a good week, but because of the length of the days, it has been tiring as well.
I didn't quite realize how tired I was until the top band was playing in the concert tonight. They played a piece that contained the melody, "Days of Elijah," a song that I'm very familiar with. So, like any good singing bandsman would do, I decided to sing the words over the melody.
I had the great majority of the song down perfectly until I got to the last line of the chorus. These are the words that came out of my mouth: "And out of Brian's hill salvation comes!"
So, who is this Brian, and why does he have a hill?
... Yeah, I'm going to bed.
