Walt Haapapuro mentioned earlier this week that he would like to join the praise
band at his church with his CBG.  That is amazing! 

I know God uses the peculiar to reach the lost.   Now, I am not calling Walt strange
but a CBG is a truly unique instrument.  It can break down walls and build bridges
like no other.

I am not sure if this is the proper place to open this discussion but I wanted to chat
about worship songs on the CBG.  What do you play?  What works/what doesn't...

Being a renegade Southern Baptist, I am partial to the hymns: Amazing Grace, Victory
In Jesus, I'll Fly Away, I Saw The Light...  Songs like that.  I add a G7 here and there and
they turn into nasty blues hymns.

I was talking to a pastor friend of mine.  He is well read on the latest trends in churches. 
He said there is a big movement in bluegrass type worship which lends itself to the CBG.

Contemporary artists like (David) Crowder have a hillbilly flavor to them.  "My Beloved" by
Crowder is one of my favorites and sounds great on a 3 string!

I am not part of a worship team.  I am, however, a regular at a local coffee shop open mic
night.  God has provided a cool venue for me to share these songs with an ever changing
audience.  It's a lot of fun and I feel His pleasure when His is glorified.

I am convinced the God can use servants like me and Walt, armed with a box, a stick and
three strings, to move the world closer to Him!

What worship songs are you playing?
