Christian Musicain Summit Aftermath

It was a real blast. The only frustrating thing for me was that during the break out sessions there were so many good classes to attend but being finite, I was only able to pick one. In retrospect I think I did good job narrowing down my choices but man was it excruciating. The fact that the classes didn't have explanatins of what was to be discussed,only tittles and instructors didn't help. I concentrated most of my time going to sessions on worship leading and songwriting despite a strong urge to attend everything related to guitar. Because really the last thing I need is more information on guitar :).
The best break outs I attended were ones taught by Paul Baloche and Roby Duke a songwriter/guitarist. Paul did two sessions one on worship team dynamics and another on writing worship songs. He had great info but the coolest thing for me was that it seemed we had alot of simmilarities as far as temperment and personality. It was really encouraging for me. Roby Duke was just hilarious. He also did a class on songwriting and one on open tunings for guitar(my guitar indugence for the weekend). I really need to get some of his music.
I give the conference two thumbs up. The main thrust of the conference was ...to instruct musicians and to inspire talent. They deffinetly got me inspired. The one major critique I have was that some of the presenters weren't fully prepared but thats not the conference coordinators fault and hey they're musicians ;). The other highlights were finally being able to see Phil Keaggy perform which was awesome and getting to see Chris Tomlin and Matt Redmond lead worship.
