I use it on both my Taylor 314ce and my Michael Kelly Arena Rose Deluxe. I have learned that what sounds good on the Taylor doesn't necessarly sound the same on the Michael Kelly and visa versa due to the different systems (Expression verses Fisherman), but I have fun experimenting!

Also you gotta try the ModTone Clean Boost ....it gives an excellent boost to an acoustic rig. I have the BBE Acoustimax on my acoustic board and I love it!!!

]]> Comment on Bored with contemporary worship? by Emily Page http://www.musicademy.com/2009/01/26/bored-with-contemporary-worship/#comment-2003 Emily Page Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:49:13 +0000 http://www.musicademy.com/?p=1241#comment-2003 Spelling errors or not its great to hear that some churches are thinking of forms of worship beyond music. We have five senses and its good to use them all creatively. I find that intro "Let's move into a time of worship" really unhelpful - as if the sung worship is all there is.

One Saturday last month we were invited to take part in "workshop" consisting of drama, petry, flower arranging...(yes even one of the guys had a go) and yes we did have some music. After about an hours practice, the whole experience was brought together in an act of worship where we performed drama, read the poetry as prayers and used the flower arrangements for meditive reflection..oh yes.. we sang a coule of worship songs accompanied by keyboard. The result was "when can we do it again". It was different, it was fun, and certainly not boring. God is the God of all creation -not just the wordy bits.

I've found it very, very useful, although I try to start off quietly for the first few minutes after using it. One thing I've found though is that the taste is very inconsistent! The first couple of bottles I had were a delicious smooth honey taste. The one I've got at the moment has a sharp liquorice taste - I hate liquorice and spraying it directly into the back of my mouth causes a few grimaces at the very least. Needless to say, this last bottle is lasting a lot longer than the first two did, which is probably a good thing really!
