Everything Happens For A Reason...
Sometimes I wonder...
I got a call from Alex this morning, which I missed, but after I called him back he told me the story of his morning at Aroma's coffee shop today. He had gone over to get some coffee I suppose and to take advantage of the free wifi internet. During his internet-cappuccino experience, he met someone. They talked a little bit, and the conversation was pointed in the direction of music. Apparently, this guy has a cousin who is actually in the band "The Wedding", which one of our songs comes from. But, he also found out that this guy actually fund Christian youth bands. Just. Like. CBR. So Alex, having his laptop with him, takes the guy to our myspace (http://www.myspace.com/colorblindred) and shows him "Polarization". If you haven't heard the recording of it, then you should know that it has no vocals, only music. So the guy was really impressed by it, and is very interested in funding us. My question to you is this:
Where in the fock was this guy 2 years ago?!?!
Seriously, there were plenty of times that we needed equipment, shows, etc, and had to have patience until Roger came up with a new show or one of us made enough money to buy what was needed. And, most of the time, we left it to Cornerstone to buy the things we needed. The cymbals on my drumset belong to John Mark, the drum heads were paid for by Cornerstone, Alex's amp was donated by a church member, Luke's amp is actually borrowed from Vian High School and has been for quite some time now. And NOW, when CBR is together for only 3 more weeks (one will even be spent playing at church camp) this guy comes along. Don't get me wrong, I know it's not his fault, and I'm glad that people are still out there willing to help out a great cause such as this, but I just don't understand. God has a reason for everything, and I know that Alex will still be able to use this guy after we're gone if he can find some new musicians, but I just wish I could see the reason why the timing is like this...
Oh well, it's alright. Today, we're planning on practicing at about 4:30, and we plan to record some songs "unprofessionally". In other words, I'm using my laptop and microphone, so we can get some songs down and so this guy can hear some more examples of our style. We'll see how this goes...
