Churches appear to be pretty big business. Its great that you are able to perform for a cause that you love.

Thanks Titanium. Seriously, on two separate occasions separated by several months I'd specifically prayed for places to play (like DJ events, wedding receptions, etc, the usual stuff I figured I needed). But instead, this particular church called both times within a week of doing that. I figured this time I'd better act and do what's being put in front of me. They've also decided to start paying all the band members, so that certainly helped too. So I've gone from practically zero bookings per month to about eight, which are relatively easy compared to my "regular" bookings, since all I have to do is to show up and be prepared.
We practiced last evening and it went really well. They've been without a bass player, I'm doing bass on keyboard, piano parts and vocals, then we've got drums, lead vocals, acoustic and electric guitars. They've got a nice PA with flown tops and a pair of really big commercial subs in a room that will hold about 200.
On top of that when I got home last evening, I booked a good wedding reception job for April 2013. Hooray. If I can get just one of those a month, that'd be huge.
