Today I had the incredible experience of seeing Phil Wickham live, at Buckhead Church. I'm not normally a huge fan of acoustic only worship (yea everybody thinks its "better," but I enjoy a "wall" of sound where I can pick out sweet melodies). But today was awesome... i've been a fan since before his album "Cannons" (2007) but never thought of seeing him live. it was awesome... he played cannons, true love and desire (?). I sang as much as I could, but a long session of rockband 2 last night did not help any (and the fact that his vocals are naturally high). He sat everyone down which I thought was weird, but I guess it was to make people who didnt know his songs more comfortable. He started singing and I really felt like standing up except I'd block the view of people behind me (i honestly hate the guy who stands up when worshipping and he blocks my view, i guess i should just go ahead and stand up). fortunately we all stood up at the end when he started singing hymns. it was one of the best worship experiences ive had at buckhead, and thats saying alot (i still love steve fee, casey darnell, seth condrey, carlos whittaker, etc...)
this performance and listining to Jarrett play acoustic songs really makes me want to get an acoustic (i only have electric) The plan right now is to use a portion of my money i'll (hopefully) earn working C3 to get a nice taylor guitar (theyre soo pretty sounding). next year when i have a car on campus im gonna hopefully take guitar lessons again (i want and need them)
