Hi Haney - Fred here - e-musician, StAndrew, Stuart, Fl
I just went through the same situation. I felt like a fifth wheel. Our pastor,
however, put his foot down and the 'sound people' quit and are looking for
greener pastures. Like: Our Sheep May Now Safely Graze.
Where is Tahoka, TX, located? I go to my ol' stumping grounds in NM often and
may stop by if it's not too far off the way. Take courage and God Bless.
