Hey All,
Happy New Year!
OMG! I got to sing behind Daryl Black on New Years Eve! How cool is that? It's very cool if you know who Daryl Black is and like his music. Basically, Daryl is a worship leader who I saw at an Intervarsity conference a couple of years ago and since then he's been growing in popularity and leading worship all over the place including a couple of other Intervarsity conferences. AND I GOT TO SING BEHIND HIM!
He was invited to HOPE's House's New Years Eve celebration and a few of us sang behind him. Let me tell you - he definitely exceeded my expectations. Daryl is really a true worshipper, knows how to lead a congregation into worship. His live singing voice is even better than on the cd and he has so much energy. Even though a lot of the people at our church aren't very familiar with him, I think they had a good time and were able to enter into God's presence as well.
Where would I be if I hadn't joined HOPE's House? I wouldn't have had the experiences that I have now. I wouldn't know the awesome people that are in my life now.
If you haven't already, go buy Daryl Black's cd, Deeper.
Here are a few things I learned from Daryl Black:
- If the atmosphere of worship has already been set before you get up to lead, acknowlege it and go along with the flow.
- Even if you know a group doesn't know the song, sing it with energy and excitement.
- If a large portion of the group isn't familiar w/ your music, put some other popular songs in the mix.
