Tonight I used BIAB to make soundtracks for three hymns for our Wednesday night Bible study. The hymns were "Hallelujah Side", "Because He Lives", and "How Great Thou Art". The first two were straight bluegrass and the last one was straight country. I put them on a cd and used the cd to lead worship. This was my first attempt at using BIAB to lead worship.
It went................ok.
I got distracted half way through the first song and got lost in it and ended it early. Everyone laughed it off with me, thankfully. The last two went much better. Worship wise it was difficult simply because I had never led worship using a cd before or using straight bluegrass. It felt a little bit awkward and it's hard to lead true worship when you feel self conscious.
Though one of my main goals is to incorporate modern lyrics into a bluegrass and country hybrid, I didn't use such lyrics this time because of logistics. We have our Bible study in the fellowship hall where we don't have a computer or projector. Therefore we use hymnals.
Despite the awkwardness mentioned above, I'm pretty happy with the way it went and plan on doing it again next Wednesday. I also hope to incorporate a BIAB generated song with modern lyrics into one of our Sunday morning worship sets in the near future.
I love this journey.
