“We had bible study at church last night. And after service, as everyone was chatting and catching up in the sanctuary, I asked one of the musicians if I could play on the keyboard..

During service they sang one of my favorite hymns. And since I’ve been learning all this new stuff I couldn’t wait to use apply what I’d been learning to it…

So I tinkered with the song for a while.

I must have gotten lost in the music, and lost track of time. Because next thing I knew…

A group of people were standing around me.

I thought “Crap! I must’ve played some wack stuff and folk were starting to get aggravated”…

But when I looked around at everyone…

Their jaws were dropped.

The main musician said “Bro. Mark I never knew you could play like that…now I can call on you to substitute for me” he said with chuckling.

“By the way, can you show me those chords?”

I was shocked!

Never before had any “good” musician complimented my playing.

I felt so excited I could’ve cut a praise step right there!

Thank you, Vaughn.

With what you’ve taught me in just ONE week, I’m at a place with gospel music I never thought I’d be.”
