Buying a used piano?

Come on now, surely you know what symbols put together like that mean?

I think you knew exactly what you were doing and saying, you just want to come off super-spiritual now and as ccr said play the marytr role.

 

First, you know better than that. The context of the symbols made it clear that you were cursing.

Second, I suppose the practice started sometime in the 19th century, after the typewriter was invented.

Free country. Public forum. Public thread. I have the freedom to respond to anything I want to.

First, this is not he said, she said. All of our comments are plainly said for all to see.

Second, this is not a brawl. This is you being defensive about legitimate questions that were asked of you that you don't like. There is no hostility on my side, and I'd bet everything I have that there is no hostility on PastorSBC's side either.

 

Whatever helps you sleep at night, sopranette.

Oh, I forgot to add. Good grief.

 

oh yeah, well , well, my dad is stronger than your dad...

That post is full of win! :thumbs:

 

as long as you are Playing to worship God and to glorify Him that is all that realy matters.
we should always play as if we are playing for an audience of one:jesus:

I have a confession to make also, I don't pirticularly care for southern gospel that sounds like ol twangy honky tonk music my self,
I would much rather use an origional hymns also
however I do like to take old hymns and give them modern rock sound.
BTW Jesus is the founder of rock and roll because He is the Rock of my salvation and my name is on the roll! :thumbs:

 

I sing all the time no matter where I'm at. LOL However, at my church, if you want to sing in the choir, you are required to attend choir practice every week.

 

That's one reason why it is so much easier to be a soloist. You get to pick the song, the tempo, the volume, etc. I'd rather just sing solo any day, because choir takes so much more discipline and structure.

Even if a certain choir song isn't my personal preference, I don't think of it as an insult to Christ, because some church members listening may be really blessed. Maybe it was a song sung by their mother years ago, or maybe the words really touch them in some way.

I guess it's kind of like this: Meatloaf really isn't my thing, but it's my husband's favorite, so sometimes I make it just because I know it makes him happy. It's more of a sacrifice, because my joy comes from pleasing him (or his appetite) rather than mine. I don't know if that makes sense or not, but maybe if you can look at choir as a pleasing sacrifice to the Lord it will make it more enjoyable for you.

By the way, I hope you find the piano you want. There's nothing like playing and singing all by yourself at home when you have that urge to cut loose and praise the Lord.

 

Congratulations! I have a friend who decided she didn't want their piano. She gave it to me, and we had it moved for $100. Pretty cheap for a lovely old player piano!

I hope you enjoy your piano as much as we do ours!

 

Instead of a moving company try your local music store. They probably have or know a piano technition who moves pianos. They are easy to move if you know what you are doing. The same person can tune it for you. You should also have that person check the piano before you have it moved. Otherwise you may just end up with a large piece of furniture that sounds horrible. Some old pianos won't hold a tune.

I love the celtic cross design idea! I am of Scottish descent, so that sounds like something I'd like.

I was an art major, too, and I love to paint.

Post a picture when you get it finished, if you can. I'd love to see it.

Enjoy your new piano!!!
