Re the 80s songs - we closed yesterday’s morning service with a really upbeat celebration song by John Gibson - including one chorus ‘drums only’ - real nostalgia stuff.   Almost dancing in the aisles...🤫

I can't work out if this is an example of your church playing lots of old songs, or lots of new ones. . . . 

 

As for masked singing, I too got the chance to sing - a previous bassist wanted the fun of playing with the previous worship leader for half of the set, so I was part of the pew-ballast for the day!  Great fun.   

I suppose I should have said ‘songs....from the 80s that everyone knows - rather than new-to-us songs she’s brought with her’.  (No reflection on her, by the way, she is brilliant)

The wayward wind - Frank Ifield

Love like a man - also Ten Years After

Itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini - Brian Hyland

The Streak - Ray Stevens

All that 'relic' on the front and no buckle rash? Pull the other one.

My thoughts exactly.

and the amount of ‘relic’ just makes it look like a very badly treated instrument - eg all the damage around the headstock - that’s not ‘wear’.

Can’t buy me love - JPG&R

5 4 3 2 1 - Manfred Mann

Our new (employed) worship leader has received a couple of comments from older folks that she doesn’t include enough older songs and hymns.  She’s on holiday this week, so 3 out of the 4 songs for Sunday morning are from the 80s...

 On another subject,  I was in the congregation yesterday, and it was really good to be able to sing again, albeit wearing a mask.

Brilliant!  Ta muchly!

Another suitcase in another hall - Barbara Dickson

Tale against myself - we use MEI mixers with wired in-ears, and a couple of weeks ago when I was in the band, all had been fine throughout the service, until the last song, after the sermon, when I found I couldn’t hear myself.  I could hear the rest of the band reasonably well.  (We are on a ‘proper’ stage, with PA and bass sub out front)

To cut a long story short, I’d of course omitted to plug my ear buds into the MEI.  

But the embarrassing part was that the livestream guy had noticed , and kept the camera on me for lengthy periods, meaning that everyone watching saw my antics on the YouTube stream - pulling buds out, putting them back in between verses, adjusting volumes, etc, trying to get some sound, before I realised what I’d (not) done...

I suppose the upside though, was that for once, a bass player was in camera shot!!  (Even if he did look daft)👍👍

From a Jack to a King - Ned Miller

I have Basschat’s ‘unread posts’ as one of my favourites in Google, and prior to the update, I was taken straight to the ‘orange line’ on each thread.  Since the update though, it seems quite random.  Occasionally, if there have been a lot of posts, it’s not even on the right page.  Is there any way I can adjust this, please?

Thanks in advance
