"...it's the day we get ready for Con-'frence!"

I have to admit, I'm always excited for General Conference.

Usually it's because I love the idea of home church.

But we've had quite a lot of that recently.

So, this time, my excitement has much more to do with having permission to sit still for an extended period of time.

Havne't had that luxury in a while.

I assume we won't get any live music this time, just like last time. But I'm not certain.

Either way, I thought it would be fun to play a little game together.

A sort of musical conference bingo.

It's pretty simple.

Each time you heard an interesting musical turn of phrase, or something that catches your ear as... "hey, that was cool, I want to learn how to do that!" ... pull out your phone and shoot me an email at doug@douglaspew.com.

Or, just reply to this email.

Share as many as you like.

The point being, "hey, Dr. Doug, how did they make that sound?"

Describe what you heard, where it happened, etc. Maybe something like...

"Second verse of the opening hymn, right after the prayer. What kind of modulation was that in the middle of the 2nd verse?"

I can tell you now, it was probably the Mac Wilberg modulation, haha.

But, I suppose it's not against our religion to believe in other types of modulations, even though it may not sound like that over the recent years.

Ok, that was a little mean. Sorry.

I mean, it's an awesome modulation to be sure. We just get to hear it pretty often.

Anyway...

What I'm trying to say is...

I'd love be helpful. So, send me a note every time you're like... "hey, how did they do that?"

And I'll put together a list of things I thought were cool too.

Then, over the next couple weeks, I'll create some short little videos to go into the Musiversity app that explain how these were accomplished.

Should be fun!

If you still need to download the app, you can do so at...

Ok, happy listening!
