Louie Weaver different style?

I am a drummer and have enjoyed watching Louie play over the years. What I noticed is in all other videos Louie has played the hi-hat with his left hand and the snare drum with his right. On the TBN concert vid he is now playing "normal" with the hi-hat being played with his right hand and snare dru...

Re: TBN airing of DVD taping

On my guide comcast cable there is a segment from 5pm-7pm that says to be announced and everything else that day is named so I'm guessing that must be it.

Want to have some fun?

I went into itunes and set up a playlist with the old songs vs the new songs so I can compare side by side. It was really cool to listen to old vs new all in a row. old Bema Seat then New Beam Seat and so on. It's the different but the same at the same time. The new versions have the same feel and e...

Re: "Till they are so old they can't get up on the stage"

Well Bob and Greg must be in their 60s so I guess about 15-20 years or so. That works. Jesus will come back before then though so either way it's good.

Re: Too Big To Fail! CRANK IT UP!

I don't think it's an old song that wasn't recorded. It's a take off on Obama saying companies are too big to fail. It's a recent catch phrase.

Re: Too Big To Fail! CRANK IT UP!

There is a version of Praise Ye The Lord floating around from the 70s performed by Greg and the E-band.

John has things he is doing plus the version of Petra may do sows Bob may go off with John and do some II guys st...
