Could you believe...

... in a dream, if I tell you that it's true?" as Al Jarreau so beautifully asked long ago. Hi y'all - the weekend's over and my, it's been a biggie. Lots of fun, quite exhausting, and one of the upshoots is I'm on my own for the week. No, C didn't leave after a fight - she left to go to Oxford with one of her classes from school. Lucky C will get to hang out with friends of ours in the evenings while hopefully having a great time with her pupils in the daytime. So, what have I been doing? Well, Saturday saw us (Billy, Hannah and me) play a trio gig as "Lawrence Goodman Scheck" at the Deutsche Missions Gesellschaft in Sinsheim. It was a lot of fun and I came away feeling blessed and privileged to get to play with such a cool bunch of musicians. Got home late, went to bed for a few a hours before it was time to send C off on her school trip. Prepared some stuff, wrote some e-mails, went back to bed. Up again at nine, led worship at church, then straight back to the car and headed out to Stuttgart where I had a two o' clock appointment to do sound here. Worked for nine hours flat, my first live sound job using a 01V96 digital mixing desk. Fun stuff, especially watching the motor faders jumping positions as you flipped your way through aux channels... Anyway, got through all of that, said goodbye, hopped back in the car (fortunately, I had good friend Becky along to keep me awake), came home, crashed (into bed). Okay, here's some exciting news; I finally got the first two copies of the brand new "Beatbetrieb" CD on which I played percussion today. And guess what; I think it sounds fabulous!(audio snippets are available on the band's site, www.beatbetrieb.de" We had a great time recording, and you can really hear that on the CD (it was a live recording). So, everybody, go out and and get the hottest new release of the summer, available, I trust, here and probably here, too. Buy, buy, buy!
