Well folks, it’s been a LONG time since I sat down and opened up WordPress. My work’s busy season kicked in big time after my county opened up a bit, and plenty of the summer was spent just trying to keep my head above water there.
I also interviewed a local videographer, and I’m working on a guide for livestreaming a creative Christmas production since I’m guessing a fair number of our churches may be doing that this year!
But the main project that’s been happening behind the scenes has been recording, editing and publishing the first five episodes of the YOUTUBE CHANNEL!
I’m SO excited about this – text can sometimes be dry and many of us engage better with a fast-paced video. So I’ve taken 5 of the top posts on the blog and turned them into 6 to 15-minute video breakdowns.
These were a ton of fun to film – even though we were in the middle of a heat wave for one of them…and I have to film with my window closed to avoid road noise. (#thisiswhatIsufferforthesakeofart)
Since I’m such a big context person, this was probably my favorite episode to record:
But that’s not all…
You already know I curate a Music Database, with a plethora of music to choose from for any section of your production, and which includes links to piano music, lead sheets, and performance tracks.
On the YouTube channel, I’ve created a special custom playlist JUST for the unique Christmas music you can find on this website. It’s not mixed in with secular tunes and arrangements of all the same traditional hymns. As of this writing it’s over 30 separate songs, lined up and ready for you to listen through as you prepare your Christmas production.
