Quick Update

Hi everyone!

I'm still here...just haven't had much time to post anything of late.  We've been doing some cool stuff at my church with the band...we've brought on a violin player!  The greatest challenge has been creating or finding sheet music.  She reads staff, so our chords + words transcriptions don't work for her.  We had to figure out how to get sheet music for her, but we have transposed a lot of our songs into different keys so we can't just go and buy music.  We had to make it from scratch.

I found a great free program called Finale NotePad.  It might be of benefit to some of you who are involved with composition.  It's a basic sheet music creation tool that also has a MIDI interface.  Here is the site where you can learn more and download Finale NotePad: http://www.finalemusic.com/notepad/

More to come...soon, I hope!

Be blessed!
