Location: Madison, Wisconsin | I started working with a teenage praise band at church a few weeks ago. Last night, they sounded especially bad and I asked the two guitarists if they had tuned up before practice. Both informed me that they couldn't possibly be out of tune since they had tuned their guitars the week before at practice. WOW. I then asked the accoustic player if she had changed strings lately and found out that she has had the guitar for 2 or 3 years with the original strings still attached. Double WOW. |

Location: Upper Left USA | Excuses heard from guitarists:
"I tuned to the piano"
"Those tuners don't work for me"
Forgive them, set down the rules and carry a set of wire cutters around your neck!
Bless their hearts. |

Location: Monroe, Ohio (Cincinnati) | We have a new teen P&W band starting up at our church. Our drummer who is 16 is playing with them also. I offered assistance, but so far have not had any requests.
May God bless them and anoint their efforts.
I guess I am too old to be of use to them, even though we have been through the trials of getting a P&W band accepted in a Catholic Church for over 4 years now. |
