The rest of you . . . well . . . you'd probably be better off just moving along - nothing to see here :-)
Several years ago I completed a seven year run as an equipper of student worship bands. In the waning days of that time the last band I worked with recorded a few songs. The quality is not that great, but we had fun doing it (and Brian in Spring and I had fun mixing it on my Mac in an almost-all-nighter a few days later).
The quality on this one is especially bad (it was one of the first recorded and I didn't have my act together yet), but it's packed with great memories. This band was a great worship band, but we didn't mind playing some off the wall stuff too, at times. This is a cover of one of the songs from Alladin.
It took three takes, but I almost like listening to the chatter around the mistakes as much as the song itself (which doesn't actually start until about the 01:56 mark.
A more serious, more worshipful sample from this recording session can be found here.

Is Disney cool with this?
Doubtful. . . Would you be?
Still I think he's [mean voice] raaaahthuh tasteee. Man - her voice is amazing.
Yeah, that's probably my favorite part. Besides Kelso trying to sound mean on "Street Rat! Scandal! Stop That! Scoundrel!" I don't think she has the ability to sound mean . . . :-)
Brad has now introduced Kels a total of 1,000 times.
Yeah, no kidding.
By the way, as far as I know Kels and Carey are doing fab.
It's a crummy recording, but I'm impressed by how tight this thing got toward the end of the song especially. They were a good band.

Also, Quaid, I think the Kelsey clapping at the end and saying "yaaaaayyyy" pretty much perfectly captures her personality.

For the record, I have a "Free Refills" CD in my car. I listen to it regularly. It's great. It's right there in the mix with Bride, Deliverance, Dream Theater, BarlowGirl, Building 429, Third Day and whatever audiobook I'm listening to.
FYI - "Free Refills" was the name of one of Bill's student worship bands from the past. I've actually got 2 "Free Refills" albums.
I love it!

Wow, Shrode. I didn't think anyone listened to that anymore. The CD you have is from 2000 - a much better recording as we had a friend who worked for a radio station and who had a recording studio in his house.
Good memories.

Live blogging my first listen . . .
Ahhh . . . Brad. Total life of the party.
KELSEY! I wonder how she's doing. I hope all is well with her.
-Here comes the keys
Hilarious. Is that Kevo on drums? oops - take two
-nope - It's Joey
Awesome - take three
Brad has now introduced Kels a total of 1,000 times.
It's funny that he starts off singing almost like a crooner and then he gets to "That's Everything!" and it gets funny
KEVIN!!! Riff-raff. That's great.

Cracked voice on juuuuuuuuump - great.
Thanks for the laughs, smiles and all, Bill. There's a lot about those days that I miss big-time.
