Today’s Thanks: Playing bass. The day in the 8th grade that Bob Taylor put his bass in my hands, my life changed. He loved me so much that he gave me his bass – a classic Fender Precision – in exchange for a piece of crap bass that I bought from Randy Harlow along with this huge bass amp. I kept the amp but I guess Mr. Taylor used that other one for lessons after I passed through school. Needless to say, I played and played and played some more. It took a while – for 3 years I played with only my first and third fingers on the left hand and my index finger on my right. But then it began to come together. I learned to read in college, but I learned to play in bands. I wouldn’t take anything for all those great charts we read in stage bands down through the years, but that set me up to be able to play in bands that really changed my life, and hopefully the lives of those around me!

Today’s Verse: “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12.
