In Germany, it‘s still Easter Monday today, so Happy Easter everyone. Like many churches, our parish had to switch to online services. For the Easter service, we had a trumpetist, a trombonist and me on the piano, and for „Komm, sag es allen weiter“, the German version of „Go, tell it on the mountain“, I decided to add some backing tracks via overdub on my MODX. In this announcement video you can hear the result. Bass, gospel organ, drums (played manually on the keyboard) and blues guitar added on the MODX.

I love that song! I'm also eager to explore the potential of MODX as an arranger, with its chord-following arps, etc. Don't have one yet but it's on my radar. Great job, thank you for sharing!
A belated Easter Greeting to everyone from this part of the world as well:

It always interesting to learn about others musical activities. Very nice video and playing too. Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your musical world.

Thanks everyone. Just to make sure there's no confusion: the woman playing the church organ in the middle of the video without sound is my colleague (we are two female organists in our parish as we have three churches and sometimes two services simulaneously). Link to the complete service: https://youtu.be/Go1K3tW9JG0 and to "Go tell it on the mountain" as an uninterrupted version: https://youtu.be/3Fdr76l7bFc
It was a bt misleading that the pastor who did the editing cut the sequence with her in, although she‘s obviously playing something different on the organ, the timing doesn‘t fit. I‘m the one sitting at the digital piano (a Yamaha P255) - the woman with the masculine-looking skeleton. Wrong hormones during puberty, I told you about that story...
Russ, this recent video shows me playing from a smaller distance. Unfortunately, Central Europe is facing another powerful Covid wave, so the services of our parish will be online only for many weeks still...
