Rants of a professional drummer and recording engineer.

Even God bounces a check now and then…

Remember this post I made giving you 4 reasons to stay out of the recording business? I have another reason.

I just did a gig for the Marshales Assembly of God Church here in town. They were desperate to get a bunch of discs done before their choir went “on tour.” I really helped these guys turn a terrible recording and graphics nightmare into a marketable product they could sell at their gigs. I put in a ton of extra time at no charge (God, do I get credit for that later?).

So I’m checking out my business account online to see if I have any dough and guess what? Their freaking check bounced. Just great. How tough are times when even God bounces a check on you?

That isn’t the end of the story either. I called “Pastor Raymond” about the check and he told me I could run it through again because the money is there. OK great. One problem: my bank (Wells Fargo) has lost the check.

    Man, I am embarrased for my denomination and that church for you. Nohow,noway should that check have bounced. And if I had been that pastor, I would’ve profusely apologized and got in my car to hand deliver you a money order or cash.

    I hope you finally got your compensation.

    Rich.

I'm a professional drummer, sound engineer and golf freak. Some thoughts that leak out of my cranium end up here. Some material here may not be suitable for children or idiots who don't have a sense of humor.
