Performance with "The Heralders" (CMGI)

<h1>A Concert Recap</h1>

<h2>The Invitation: A Musical Call from Wilf</h2>

<p>It&rsquo;s become a habit with <strong>Wilfried</strong>&mdash;I like to call him <strong>Wilf</strong>; he&rsquo;s my point of contact. He&rsquo;ll let me know if that no longer works for him, and we&rsquo;ll find another nickname ✌.</p>

<p>Indeed, for my recent gigs with the band <strong>&quot;The Heralders&quot;</strong>, invitations almost always come through him. Let&rsquo;s say that, on that front, he&rsquo;s the official organizer.</p>

<p>You have to admire the speed of the invites, though I rarely hesitate to accept when I can. So you&rsquo;ll understand that you can always try your luck with me&mdash;provided you lay out the terms in advance ✌. And really, what musician would refuse a good gig? Not me. Once the details were agreed, I packed up and headed to Gie&szlig;en.</p>

<h2>Bassist: More Than One String to My Musical Bow</h2>

<p>Someone recently asked whether I&rsquo;m primarily a guitarist or a bassist. Let&rsquo;s just say I manage&hellip; like <em>you</em>. Of course, it all depends on the eyes and ears of the beholder.</p>

<p>For those who only know me behind a keyboard, it was a pleasant surprise to see me with a guitar&mdash;a real guitar! One of my first <em>conquests</em> (we&rsquo;ll talk about that another time if needed). Let&rsquo;s say I donned that hat for the day&rsquo;s event.</p>

<h2>The Concert: A Moment of Worship and Sharing in Gie&szlig;en</h2>

<p>Okay, let&rsquo;s get to it. I won&rsquo;t recount the entire afternoon in detail, but imagine snippets of the concert. I couldn&rsquo;t film myself, so you&rsquo;ll have to make do with a photo from last March, taken by someone I can&rsquo;t name&hellip;</p>

<p>What you&rsquo;ll remember is that it was a wonderfully warm time with the Christian worship band <strong>&quot;The Heralders&quot;</strong> and everyone present that day. As usual, there were plenty of improvisations and a couple of bonus songs requested by the audience&mdash;an audience, by the way, that was very participative. It was heartfelt.</p>

<h2>Ready to Do It Again with The Heralders?</h2>

<p>As a music lover, saying &ldquo;yes&rdquo; would do me no harm ✌.</p>

<p>See you soon for the next adventure!</p>
