Spence Peppard Is Famous...Seriously

Okay, I recently played a gig with Spence Peppard. I was excited to play alongside him because he's a great talent and a funny guy. (I had seen some of his Facebook stuff and realized that he was quite the showman.)

A few weeks earlier at Bethel, one of my band members asked me if I had ever seen the "Worst Recording Session Ever" on YouTube. I told him that I wasn't familiar and he encouraged me to check it out. Unfortunately I forgot about it. A couple of weeks ago when I was doing the event with Spence, I mentioned that to the aforementioned band member.

"He's from Nacogdoches?" the guy asked.

"Yep."

"Plays guitar"

"Yes," I said.

"Works in a studio?" He smiled.

"I think so."

"That's the guy!"

So, I watched it. And I loved it. Apparently, I am not alone. 275,000 views.

And I want you to be one of them. This is great.

This afternoon, some pals and I will be headed to Teague, TX to lead worship for a "Saw You At The Pole" Rally for 8th Avenue Baptist Church.

I'm ashamed to say that I didn't even know SYATP was still a thing these days, but I'm glad to help my buddy Shaun out with some worship.

Here's the crew:

JUSTIN ROMACK - Drums, percussion, other sundry sounds. Playing with Justin is like having a warm blanket...no matter what happens on stage, he's gonna' be loyal, sturdy and get the job done.

BEN LOVE - Bass guitar, vocals. I know it might seem like I made this guy up...I mean, come on...a bass player named 'Love?' That's just too easy, right? But trust me, he's real. He's a member of the band Clairmont and one of Ross King's go-to bass players. Can't go wrong with that, huh?

SPENCE PEPPARD - Electric guitar. To say that Spence Peppard 'plays' electric guitar isn't really correct. He doesn't play it...he brings it under submission and wields it like a mighty sword of electrons and wattage and...I'm so bad at metaphor.

MARK KUYKENDALL - Mark is the Pastor of Student Ministries at Bethel. He's a gifted communicator, a sharp theological mind and he can do anything. Like, anything. Like...he may repair a car or something at the church when we're done. Mark will be preaching/teaching/'bringing the Word' for the event. I'm excited to serve alongside him.

ANGELA ROMACK - Anytime Angela can come on a gig, I'm happy. I love this girl. Not only is she a great help to Justin (and often the rest of us,) she also just a really fun person to be around. She's sincere and a servant and it's always fun to hang out. Now, it's rumored that Angela will be video taping some of the night. If that happens, you can count on a video recap on Thursday!

If we have time after setting up, sound checking, rehearsing, inputting projection, eating a snack and praying...we'll aslo check for wifi. A little Mogulus broadcast of the TWB would be fun, right?

Stay tuned! We're gonna' have a blast!
