Wow today seems like it's been heaps of days all kinda squished into one :D

My adventure started off in the morning when I caught a bus down to a spot that looked like a good place to get off, then i got off and walked about half an hour (with the help of my trusty newcastle map :P) the rest of the way to Hunter Rhapsody which was absolutely AWESOME! It was really great to be meet the musos from other churches and have workshops with Michael Morrow and Philip Percival!! Philip spoke really well on singing in church - what really struck me was how he said that 'music leaders have a big responsibility so don't take that lightly' - so any time the church musos are being immature and attention seeking and not keeping in mind their main purpose of helping the congregation to sing, they're reflecting badly not only on themselves but the church! And it's really reminded me to be always thankful that I've been blessed with the opportunity to learn how to play the piano and cello and stuff like that! :D

And after a day of singing praise to God and learning how to guide others in the church to sing as well it's impossible to be anything but joyful! :D

So here's a list of instruments that I've now been inspired to go and learn: saxophone, electric guitar, double bass and tin whistle to add to the list of instruments i already want to learn: harp, bagpipes, drums, bass guitar - hehe one thing at a time i guess... any donation of instruments to the 'Joyce wants to learn every instrument on the planet' fund is greatly appreciated :P (oh I REALLY want a nose flute http://www.kazoos.com/noseflute.htm or maybe a new kazoo... )

And I've even manage to fit in a nap, dinner and a bit of work too! wow it's only been a day! :D

-- Now playing - Elton John - Your Song (Joyce goes into perpetual grin mode :D)

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
