We asked for your best anecdotes or jokes related to church music. The old inbox isn't exactly flooded so far! So I'll start with the letter A and keep going until someone sends me some better material. And yes, that's a threat!

Prelude Music Planner, as you will see when we launch it fully in a few months, will be an amazing tool for the church musician. And part of the richness will be blog articles like the ones you see on this page. But we all know that a lot of fun can happen with music making as well. And so once a week, on Wednesdays when you may be ready for something light, we want to publish your humor. Heard a great music-related joke? ("How many altos . . .") Remember when something hilarious happened at a rehearsal? Send 'em in! We'll publish the ones that tickle our funny bone, and give you credit. Comment below.
