The harmonies were on point and worked sooo well. And those little deviations sounded great. Knees to the earth was reaallly good! Riley- Amazingggg job! I agree with Hans, it was very easy for me to speak from the Word when you play like that. The noticed the subtle playing in different songs, it was reaallly good. Benjamin- Good job. Hans - Thanks for recording this! (I will fight you later) Yeah listening to the mix, I didn't realize how great of a job Kim and Bethanie did such a great job.

I loved the sounds and the way all the elements drove the emotion and passion of worship this Sunday. Knees to the Earth totally matched with the "coming home" theme that Dr. Green struck on. Totally rang a chord with it, excellent choice. I don't know if that was planned or not, but it was uncanny. Kim, excellent leading on that. And great decision to do an intro right from that song, and inviting the congregation to worship. Very perfectly timed introduction and transition, love it! Also, loved the transition from Amazing Grace to We Exalt Thee. Total mood change from the chord progression from Amazing Grace's chorus to We Exalt Thee's chord progression. Good choice on changing the last song to Great Is Thy Faithfulness too. I think it was a better response to the message. No music stands or anything, everything memorized! Very impressive, everyone. So, does this mean we're all going to try memorizing from now on? ;-) Riley, you have excellent tone and expression in your voice when you are supporting your vocals with air, but I could hear you dying off early and unable to keep the tone going for the length of some of the notes. Be sure you have enough air support for each phrase, and hold on to it all the way to the end of phrases. In general, its really powerful when all the vocals are starting and finishing together. Practice taking full breaths from your diaphragm, and using your gut muscles to push the air out--not your neck! I really liked the piano transitions between songs to allow for Phil to speak over it, and you kept time for him. Its hard to talk and play, so good work on that.
