Big Dork

I’m a big dork.

Last Sunday night the church we are attending had an all music worship service with these young guys playing amped up versions of standard praise and worship songs. The guitarist played a solo on one of the songs and put his leg up on the monitor all cool like.

The church asked me to play guitar this next Sunday. During practice this week, I thought it would be funny to imitate that guy. Not to be cool but to sort of mock it in a friendly kind of way (the guy was running the sound for practice.) Only when I did it, it was on the monitor on the other end of the stage. The angled, top heavy monitor. The monitor not designed to have a foot placed on top of it. As I did, it rolled backwards… and so did I. Landed flat on my back, guitar still in hand. A loud gasp went up from the other band members and singers. I think I even heard an “oh my God! Is he ok?”
I got back up and the practice continued on but I felt pretty stupid.

Got home and told Karen. She got a pretty big kick out of it.
