NOT so Frankly

Our church band is in transition. Frank, our leader, is taking a sabbatical for a bit. So Terri and Kim are handling all the vocal duties. There's an interesting thing about teams. We understand that none of us is indispensable, but that doesn't mean we make no difference. Many of the songs in our book were penned by Frank. Naturally, they were a great fit for his voice. He also provides some wonderful guitar work.

With the shift in personnel, we're encountering spaces and holes where we are unaccustomed to having them. As an optimist, I can see these as opportunities to try different things. Realistically, they represent necessary change. I may talk a good fight, but I'm not always a huge proponent of change. Unless it's you changing to do something my way. ;-)

A few of us met after church Sunday to consider some other songs. They are a blend of "oldies" and songs I've played with other bands. We're changing the keys to accommodate the ladies' voices. It stretches us and keeps us on our toes, so it's all good. But it IS change.

We all wish Frank well and look forward to the time he can rejoin us. Enjoy the rest, brother!
