Offeratory

At our church yesterday we have a small orchestra consisting of a pianist, clarinetist, guitarist(on occasion) and me(useually on the mandolin). Yesterday we had a second pianist. It was really fun when it came time for the offering. We have a really exciting theme going on there. I even used the mic so I got to play the lead line. I even felt sorry for our clarinetest who was drowned out by everyone elses playing.
The week before I left my capo on while playing lead. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Who makes that kind of mistake. For those of you who don't know. A capo changes the key so basically I was playing the key of Ab when I should have been playing in the key of G.

I must admit that I hate playing fiddle with people who make mistakes like that. A capo can be a dangerous weapon.
