More Out West With The President

GIG -- Another thing that we did to appeal to the young people was to stand in a triangle, take another guy's slide instead of our own, and play a slow number. Quite often the number chosen was "What A Wonderful Savior." That was the one we used in Dodge City, Kansas.

While we were on the way home, we asked Dr. Witmer if there was anything we could do to improve our ministry. He was very complimentary ... said "No, I really appreciate what you were doing and how you were doing -- OH, WAIT A MINUTE. When were were in Dodge City, Kansas and I was in the Pastor's Office getting ready for the evening service, one of the songs you played didn't quite measure up to the quality of the other songs you had played."

We said, "Was it 'WHAT A WONDERFUL SAVIOR'"? "That was the one ... yet it was" he told us. We explained to him that this was the number we took each others' slides while we played that number.

Now it was his turn. He had not seen it happen and he refused to believe that we could do that. We tried all the way back home to convince him but we were unable.

I guess that made things even for the rabbit-shooting incident we "failed" to believe.
