Pennsylvania Trip
I spent the last week staying at my grandparents house in Pennsylvania. Actually it is more than a house. It is former funeral home coverted in to a bed-and-breakfast. Which is ironic in itself. Anyways, it is in a village called Numidia. The village consists mostly of 1 main street. It is a slower atmosphere than Greenville. It's very relaxing. My granparents attend a small baptist church(a little less conservative than us). They were putting together an "orchestra" to play along with congregational sing for their Christmas Eve candlelight service. My grandma volunteered my sister and I. The "orchestra" ended up consisting of an oboe, a bassoon, a guitar, a tenor sax, a mandolin, a piano, an organ, synthesized strings and brass, a trap set, and on 1 song a flute. But the funny thing was, it didn't sound that bad. Except the drums(but that was because of the drummer). Also while we were in Pennsylvania, we went to see Sight and Sound. It is the "Christian Broadway." We went to see a Christmas show. They put on these huge, elaborate shows. Their theatre seats 2000+. We were walking in the lobby before the show, fighting through the crowds, when we heard, "Batdorfs!" We turned to look, and who did we see? Mr. and Mrs. Nic and their kids. Anyways, that's about all I have time for at the moment.

sounds closer to a jazz band almost
i strongly dislike the term "conservative"
that orchestra sounds like it was awesome. its a shame that the drummer rotted though. i just played my guitar in my grandmother's church today. it was pretty cool.
what all went on at Sight and Sound?
a jazz band w/ an oboe and a bassoon . . .
and about the drummer, i figure i can forgive him because he played guitar in sunday school that morning, and he was pretty good at that.
and timford, i'm not totally sure what you are asking.
getting closer and closer to an oboe rock band all the time....;)
you know we are going to have that, randomoboe!
