All in the Life of a Church Pianist
Just thought I’d share an incident that happened last night at church…
I’m surprised my church hasn’t fired me from being one of their pianists! 😉
I’m SO forgetful! ….like playing the wrong song intro for choir opener….and then my son, David, (who happens to be the choir director) looks at me with a big smirky smile and says for all to hear….”that’s the choir special.”

Oh well…at least we could laugh about it… (including the whole congregation) 🙂
Anybody else have a similar experience?
