2nd Interesting Music Store Experience

Not too long ago, I wrote about a strange experience I had while at Guitar Center playing some keys where some guys who were working on a hip-hop album wanted me to play keys for them (still haven't heard from them though). Well, this weekend I found something similar happening to me again, this time at Sam Ash Music. While playing some Moog-style lead lines on one of the new Roland Juno synths I was trying out for our other keyboard player, an older black man and his wife approached me asking me to play it again, whether I was in a band, and if I would be interested in playing for their church...

I wasn't really sure how to respond to this, as I need money but don't feel like I belong in a church. Still, black churches ARE way different than white churches (i.e. much hipper), and considering he liked me playing Moog-style solos, I've got to expect that it might be an interesting musical experience. Ultimately, I'm not really sure what he had in mind, but I gave him my number. So long as I don't have to sign a form asking me to proclaim my Christian beliefs, I think it should be alright. We'll see where this goes...
