So yesterday I was scheduled to play in Wichita. The pastor pulls in the parking lot from my first Wichita gig and says "we've got a problem" "you're scheduled to be in Eureka tonight" I said, no I'm scheduled to play again in Wichita. We went in and realized that I had accidentally double booked. My afternoon officially was nuts from there on out. I was calling both churches trying to finagle how I could do both of them (and they are an hour apart) I worked out that I would play in Wichita while they were eating and then leave early and just miss the meal part in in Eureka and show up as fast as possible. I was pretty stressed out. We get to the first gig and they were so nice. I really wished that I could have stayed there for a while longer. They really enjoyed the stories and music and there was just a really strong energy in the room and as luck would have it, the stoves were not working so the didn't start eating until after I left anyways. The church is called Lord of Life and Pastor Gary was so nice to work with. There was a good crowd including a good number of youth. one 17 year old girl had her birthday so I started happy birthday for her (I'm sure she liked that)
After Lord of Life Mom and I jumped in the car and raced to Eureka. Christ Lutheran was also a nice church to play at and as it turned out since I was 40 min late, they started singing and had so much fun that they are going to try to do that once a month as a fellowship Idea! SOOOOOO, after all my stress and anxiety about this situation and short changing both churches, it turned out pretty good after all. UFF-DA! It was kind of funny, that when I pulled up someone had the door open and yelled "He's here!" I walked into a very enthusiastic clapping congregation of ranchers as well as some youth. I apologized and started right up. This was my day. I'll write about today, tomorrow, cause I'm tired and I need sleep.
Peace!
Joe
