Goodbye Audio Adrenaline!

Perspiration drips from tiny pores sticking T-shirt and jeans to sunburned skin. The evening breeze cuts through the humidity like a knife while the whining buzz of an amp stings the ears like a bumble bee on soft pale skin.

Sound check: “Check One, Check Two!”…”one, one, two…two”…”Check One!”…”Check Two!”

Percussion…the crowd swells as if the drummer tuning up is a beacon call to those sojourn travelers who are making their way back from port-a-potties…the show is about to begin. An electric guitar squeals through the night as the tuning proceeds…moments from the show people are restless with anticipation and from the pink heat radiating from skin blistered from the day’s festivities. They say, whoever they are, that…”you leave with only a t-shirt and sunburn!”

Lights dim and anticipation heightens, crowds push forward, sweat mingled with sweat, Christian fellowship at its best. “Back-up! Back-up! You guys are crowding the stage to much!” Crowds reluctantly make believe their listening…a shuffle here, a scoot there, but we all end up pretty much where we started.

Spotlight…the show is starting, full throttle energy, moving, flowing, rushing, crashing…freeing the heart, soul, and mind.

A slender man with short red hair and tattooed arm…gives all he has…mind, heart, soul…rejoicing for the Lord. Voice strong as a lion…fighting to stay…warrior, hero, giver, friend!

Drummer…dark hair, blue shirt matching blue eyes, in the background…hearing every heartbeat…”Thump! Thump! Thump!...like a thundering stampede moving, fluid motion and sound!

Guitar, strong, powerful, gentle vocals…passionate feeling…the kid in the band by far, a man coming into his own…voice melts, soft, sultry, powerful…pierces the darkness and blesses the ears in heaven.

There’s an ache mixed with joy in the air tonight.

Bass…childlike, simple, subtle, overpowering,… glue that holds the heart together, a vital part of the journey. The steady reminder of where…you’ve been and where… you’re going! Words cut through the night…not about us…about HIM!

ROCK until my Heart Caves in…Goodbye Audio Adrenaline!
