When Pastor Don and I sat down to his little electric piano in our trailer, we got it right off that we could have some real fun. He set us (the whole group) up for the next night at at the revival. Not a tent mind you, but a couple of hundred very well dressed black folk, and several ministers up front. We rehearsed a song Don taught us named "He's an on time God" , a little call & response thing that was very fun. You in the Congo church will hear it soon enough.
We listened to two different youth choirs sing some great, loud, rockin "hymns", and I felt a little sheepish about our little group. Then, a FOUR year old girl got the microphone, told the band to hit it, and sang her heart out for ten minutes!
Soon it was our turn and we gathered around the electric piano, I did a little intro and we were rolling. Almost immediately, the whole band was in behind us, and then I could hear the whole congregation as well. We rocked the house! When the song was over, the group all went back to their seats, but the band struck up a reprise and I rocked with them for awhile, getting up off the piano seat and playing standing up! I only showboated for a moment like that but everybody was on their feet! It was an incredible moment. No photos of course, but apparently there's a CD!
