Kiss The Cook |
Christopher J. Priest has written an amazing essay -- one of many -- that expresses the truth of what happens in so many churches and with musicians around the world. Playing Drums in church presents its own unique set of challenges for the modern drummer or any kind of musician. The Modern Church organization is one of the most surprising environments to work in musically. If you're up to the challenge, you'll have the opportunity to play every style of music you can imagine, with musicians from every strata of society, and from around the world. |

Christopher's column
"KISS THE COOK -- HOW
TO MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR CHURCH MUSICIANS" expresses the truth of
what many musicians face from week to week as they play in thousands of
churches. Some churches are very professional organizations and are very understanding of the
musician's viewpoint, while others are extremely difficult,
challenging venues for the musician in knowing just how to cope with the situations
they face. Christopher has done a great service with his column in
saying some of the things that many church musicians think but may or may
not feel comfortable expressing from within their own musical settings.
KISS THE COOK
by Christopher J. Priest is worth taking the time to read.
