Thank God for real sound men

Tagged Under : , , , ,

Our church is in the middle of a new building buildout that includes a significantly larger sanctuary. This required some new gear and an entire new set of sound issues. I’ve been in bands, and behind boards since I was a young man and I have what I consider to be a “passing” knowledge of how to mix. I certainly know my limitations, and this project was way out of my league. We needed a professional.

In God’s divine wisdom and grace he planned for my path to cross Jeff. I met Jeff in my smoothie shop while we were bumping some Whiskeytown. He asked if I enjoyed Whiskeytown to which I replied “heck yes I do”, one of my favorite bands and Ryan Adams has to be one of the preeminent songwriters of our day. He let me know he used to run sound for them and Ryan Adams. It’s moments like these that I use as proof of a good and loving God.

I asked(begged) Jeff if he might be willing to help us out and boy has he ever. He came and did things I’ve never seen and certainly have never heard. It sounds amazing in there and I am so grateful for Jeff and others of his ability around the world. God bless you professional sound men and God bless you Jeff! I want to cry I’m so happy…I think I will….excuse me.
