    P&W Bass players that sing lead, how do you control the songs volume/dynamics?

    What I mean is that the loudness, softness, interesting hits/snaps/riffs/melodies, are never heard by the bass. Its done by everybody else, and the bass provides, well, the bass. As in it certainly adds a lot of weight to a part, but it doesn't bring in the interest. You can argue that bass...

    How Sweet the Sound

    There is nothing so wonderful as the sound of voices singing together in adoration of God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. There is also no better subject to sing about, in my opinion, than about God's grace to us in saving us from our sins via Jesus' shed blood on the cross, when he took upon...
