Accompanist duties were employed this weekend, and the Saturday night gig at church was amusing for me.
The director of music, (it’s not me) failed to include a hymn in the packet. I couldn’t find it anywhere at church so I had to use my phone screen to view the music. It worked well enough for rehearsal, but I will admit, the second Mass I accompanied included stronger reading glasses!
There I am, playing the hymn for the entire congregation and the screen dimmed. I knew this would happen, so I casually touched it to bring it back to speed. Up pops a photo of my granddaughter in Easter Bunny ears! Try to get back to your little screen and fake the notes while everyone is singing and you are laughing at a photo. That is a feat.
The good news? The priest skipped that hymn at the next Mass. I guess I needed a dose of humility.
Your Saturday playing was amazing, even with Avila hopping into your screen!
