more on Kate Miner

continued from page 15 was 18 or 20 years ago. I ended up doing a record there with that congregation. We actually recorded it at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip. It’s called “Live from the Strip”. That record took me around the world three or four times. It’s just rock-n-roll, and it’s still my most successful record. you know, we’re a satellite church of highland Park united Methodist church. but we’re the people that have the fun and break the rules and sort of color outside the lines. The idea that you have to compartmentalize your spiritual self from the rest of your life is not how we’re wired. but that’s how mainstream church expects you to act. at Munger Place, we want to provide a place where people can come as they are and have an experience with god. I try to write songs that express my real life experiences. a lot of christian music is about being born again, and that really excludes a lot of people. So I write songs that have broader appeal and don’t exclude people. at church this Sunday, we did a song from The call, that great ’80’s band. We were slated to do Peter gabriel’s “In your eyes”, but my son actually fainted in church, and we didn’t get to that one. We’ve done nirvana; earth, Wind & fire; the beatles. I don’t change the lyrics to songs, but I think there are songs like “got to get you Into My Life” that just make you happy you rolled out of bed. Paul Rasmussen wants to deliver the same message but in the context of that community. What they do at highland Park uMc beautifully serves that community. and what we’re doing at Munger beautifully serves east dallas. There will be more satellite churches that pop up, and they will be communicated in a way that fits their community. at Munger Place, we’re really involved in the community. for the White Rock Lake centennial, on June 26, we’re doing a church service at the bath house (cultural center). There’s a breakfast and a whole big deal. besides that, I want to make a record of old country standards. hank Williams, Patsy cline, I love singing that stuff. I’m thinking about doing a live recording of it at Munger one night.
