    Re: OK, What Are The Odds ?

    OK, What Are The Odds ?

    Re: Church Praise Band Question

    This thread reminds me of something I’d not thought of in many years. My wife and I got married very young and I started attending her church. I was 20 and had been playing (owning, really) guitar...

    Re: Church Praise Band Question

    I'm going to echo that sentiment. Just because I have a mandolin and can play it does not mean that I should automatically be included in any group, even if I or others think I should be.
