36. I have officially moved from the "18-35" box on the church communication card and into the "36-50" box.

Religious Denomination

Non-denominational, although I grew up in the independent Christian churches/churches of Christ.

Musical status/what instrument(s) they play

Mostly play the acoustic and sing, although I have been a drummer in a band and play bass on occasion. I took organ lessons for two years when I was little (long story). I am starting to learn how to play the piano. And I will be taking cello lessons in a couple of months.

This is Adam

You made it in!!!

I was shopping the other day, saw a can of chippotle(sp) peppers and thought of you. The temptation to try those peppers was great. Are canned peppers ok or do they need to be fresh?

Then, I saw a catalog with Clark bars for sale. Is that the candy that you were looking for?

It's always good to see you. I hope that you will visit often.

My short answer to this is that I think that we need to marry the word fasting to the word caution.

I have fasted occasionally and almost always eat fish on Good Friday.

Thank you for saying so. I agree. I hope that it works.

- The Churches of Christ (non-institutional)

If you look at the above branches, they would run from liberal to conservative branches.

I believe that Lee is part of the second branch, which is the same branch I grew up in as well.

The main difference between the last two branches is that the non-institutional Churches of Christ are even more conservative - no Sunday School (because it's not mentioned in the Bible), only one communion cup, no support of para-church organizations, etc.

Thank you so much for this! He still has not accepted the job yet.

I really do not want the man to be hurt. I only want him to behave himself.

You win a T-shirt with a picture of the Dew Drop Inn on it signed by this weeks band. Lee will be soooo jealous!

Please excuse me while I condense and reorganize this information into a form that my brain can contain.

Much too humble. I have heard you play.

Kepa composes too.

I bet that we all wish that we played better.

Bells, Bill?
Really?
When? Where? Please do tell!

I did not know that you also had piano in your background. I am impressed!

Bill is a composer.

finchfeeder · 01-10-2007, 06:45 AM

Lee is a composer as well.

For some reason, I am not feeling myself today. I must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed or something. I apologize for not being a very good hostess today.

I forgot to mention my musical experience.

I play guitar, bass and piano. I'm not great at any of them but can fake it fairly well. Years ago I could play the clarinet and saxophone.

I do attempt to sing as well.

Todays puzzle:
A Tree

the elms?

I had an elm tree in my front and back yard growing up.

Bells were my first experience of reading music. I was about 12 and there were girls who played at church, but, none of them could handle the low bells. Several people asked me since my elder brother was a concert pianist and they figured I had some music in me...

we actually won a few competitions in the central valley. But yes, I learned to read music playing the bass end of a handbell choir.

I really was bad at piano. So much so that my teacher suggested a new instrument. I just had difficulty with my hands doing the same thing but different accross the middle of me.
