DQ,

No, the question was a little gag-let, as to why I haven't been asked back for a Spill the Wine Encore at that certain church.

Although, some yrs ago, when the daughter of the Vice-Pres of The Musician's Union in LA got married, he put me up to a little mischief.

I set up my DX-7 on the grass overlooking Coronal del Mar (w/ a very long extension cord,) punched the Cathedral Organ button, and used Purcell's Trumpet Voluntary for "Here Comes . . ." For "There goes . . ." I did, as instructed by Daddy of the Bride, and launched into a B-3 setting rendition of the old blues shuffle "All Right! OK! I'm in Love w/ You"

For a couple of white kids, they did a mighty boogie for the "There Goes . . ."

Annie - I'm familiar w/ that tune. Such a joy to play as well as hear - especially on a big ol' full-pipe organ.

Speaking of Communion, perhaps the closest time to my heart (and the Lord's) of celebrating was in the back of my van after sleeping all night after a Sat nite gig moving into Easter Sunday.

I had no cup. I had no wine. I did have my Bible. So, turning to the descriptive passages, I took Air Communion. Sort of like Spiritual Air Guitar, ya know. But blessed.
