The Nick Lindy Band

So I've been wanting to start my own band for a long time now. I was told by one of my favorite professors in college to start my own band. I've considered many genres from Ska to Punk to maybe even a Skillet style band.

Sitting here listening to Reliant K has inspired me to start something. Here are the problems...not sure why style I want to aim for. Also, not sure who would be interested. Instrumentation?

I would love to include Cassie assuming she's into the music I'm writing. At this point I need a reason to write music again. Or rather a reason to write outside of the box a bit. I tend to use the same tricks in most of my songs. Who wants to join?

Working Saturday nights makes it hard to get up on Sunday mornings

But ya know something?  It's completely worth it.  Saturday is my big night at work where I make a good chunk of my money for the week.  I am okay with draggin a bit on Sunday morning.  When I get up for church and start making music it seems to energize me.

We are no closer to the possible position with the Columbia City church other than we have spoken to our Worship Leader and he has been very supportive.  I appreciate how he has helped make worship leaders out of us all.  Just last week we were without him and were still able to lead a service.  It goes on the whole principal of "Give a man a fish he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he eats for a life time" except in this case we are talking about eternity, not just a lifetime.

Interesting stuff eh?

I really want FUEL to start back up.  If you're reading this then you probably know what I'm talking about.  If not, FUEL is the youth group at Sonrise Church here in Fort Wayne.  We average 110 kids between the ages of 12 to 18.  Cassie and I are youth leaders and have a blast every time we go.

Anyway, gotta get to bed.

New opportunity

Cassie and I are in discussion for a worship leading position in Columbia City. We met with the Pastor and his wife on Saturday for breakfast and felt a great vibe from the meeting. Cassie and I would be Co-worship leaders. She am I would split the duty of leading songs vocally each week. I would work with the instrumentalists and she would work with the vocalists. There also isn't anyone to run sound and tech so I assume the job of training someone to help would be on me.

What does this mean? We would have to leave Sonrise. We would have to leave the first church I have ever felt completely comfortable going to every week. God has been calling me to the Columbia City direction for the past couple of months and I feel that this might be why.

Gotta work...come eat some yummy Italian food!
