So tonight we had our first U2 worship service practice.
I believe God was smiling on us.
From the start, five people who'd never played together clicked and it was .... magic. Spiritual. Just really really REALLY good.
Sheri Renner is a joy to play with. Great ideas, voice of an angel, a keyboard player .... Geesh, where have you been all this time, Sheri?
Devon White rammed home the beat on bass, and Craig Sparks is simply one of the best drummers I've ever played with, and I've played with a bunch of good ones. He let loose and wait until you hear him drive us home with this project.
Wally Carlson was right there on acoustic guitar and vocals and a lot of fun. Bob Morwell and his Union United crew were a big help too.
Man. I haven't been this excited about a musical project in a long time, and this comes with The Funions as rock solid as they've ever been.
Again, Sunday, April 27, Union United Methodist, 11th and State, 7 p.m. This is a worship service, above and beyond, and something very different for Quincy.
We are doing Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, 40, Pride, When Love Comes To Town and Yahweh.
Again, this won't sound like U2, but it's an honest take on their music and if tonight was an indication, the energy and spirit will be there.
Coming tomorrow: An update on the Calftown residence transformation!

Rodney, check out Fire, they have a justice timer countdown deal for a certain someone's upcoming OV court case! And you thought you covered all the important trials!
For the last time ... I don't write stories about rabble-rousing, law-breaking and authority-defying scoundrels. Find Tookie guilty and throw away the key is what I say.
