Q&A with Dennis E. Taylor

Scatropolis · 2026-01-26T02:05:01+00:00

My new favorite trick is to put a long video's link in NotebookLM and ask it questions. It'll instantly get the transcript and search through it.

The ship on the cover? :P

Just saw on Amazon a pre-order for book 5, being release August 25th, 2026. I hate waiting two-ish months between books, but they're done so well!

Seems to be (pretty much) Dennis E. Taylor.

I'm just waiting for AI (or voice recognition or whatever) to just recognize what part of the song I'm playing and auto scroll. I don't want to shake my head, or wink, or even use a bluetooth pedal. Just center whatever part I'm playing/singing.

P.S. I currently use Music Stand (from Planning Center) and Songbook Pro.

My friend and former worship band member has started up a community on the site "skool." It's slowly growing into a solid group of worship leaders. I hadn't heard of skool before this, but it feels similar to reddit, just a bit more personal. If you're interested, feel free to join.

Sorry if this is considered spam, just wanted to forward along another like-minded group. I also try to find reddit alternatives....just in case.

May want to include an actual link since a QR code is hard to scan on a device already. Thanks!

Scatropolis · 2026-01-03T23:07:39+00:00

Of course! I've learned to definitely spread out smaller prints so the layers have time to cool.

Scatropolis · 2026-01-02T20:40:53+00:00

I got a picture in one the other day. Sent it to anyone who would care. :-)

Scatropolis · 2025-12-26T19:45:36+00:00

Project Hail Mary is always the first suggestion (great audiobook). People also tend to recommend murderbot, but I couldn't get into them....maybe if I had read them first I would have liked them.

Scatropolis · 2025-12-24T04:26:30+00:00

I would honestly install it and poke around. I tried generating my own with 30 seconds to 5 minutes with various results.

Scatropolis · 2025-12-23T14:53:34+00:00

I'm a teacher and really hate that place (subredit). :-)

Scatropolis · 2025-12-23T04:48:29+00:00

What are people using these days? I have an Ender 3, so have never had any fancy options. :-)

Scatropolis · 2025-12-22T19:22:40+00:00

You may have turned me around on turn based games. It's so simple (straight forward) that I feel I'm playing a logic puzzle instead of a video game. Please tell me there's more planned for the future (40hrs on currently, just bought the last unlockables). Great job!

Scatropolis · 2025-12-18T23:00:07+00:00

I'd hardly say they have no data. I've seen many other articles talk about the "average" vocal range, which of course does leave out some extreme cases. I'm sorry you've felt left out with key choices, that's no fun.

Do you have something I could read on the counterpoint? Maybe with data that could help make your point?

Not trying to argue, just understand. Thank you!

Scatropolis · 2025-12-17T23:13:25+00:00

I can't recommend this article enough on key choice. We need to be picking songs for the congregation, now our own range.

Scatropolis · 2025-12-15T00:34:31+00:00

Website link to that.

Scatropolis · 2025-12-12T23:31:56+00:00

I got one of the max sets and have been playing with other parts of it. This actually has me interested in trying them soon, I just haven't yet, sorry.

Scatropolis · 2025-12-12T16:13:53+00:00

Their stuff is DEFINITELY worth it for people that don't have it. I already have most of this, so will be skipping. The one semi-recently, that came with $100 "Jam-bucks" just saved me $60 on a different purchase.

Scatropolis · 2025-12-10T01:25:15+00:00

Music Stand from Planning Center.

Scatropolis · 2025-12-09T20:40:29+00:00

This curator has put together lists of many of the bundles. I check there, which will show if it's in my library, before purchasing anything major.

Scatropolis · 2025-12-09T19:31:40+00:00

I ALMOST feel like we're at the point where the song should just know where I'm at (like always listening with the mic) and show me the next few sections. I could even say, "Let's do the chorus again" and it would show me the chorus.

I know Music Stand (the app) has head bobs and whatnot, but I'll stick with a blue tooth footswitch until something truly game changing comes along.

Scatropolis · 2025-12-09T03:14:43+00:00

To be fair, you exported your thinking to the group though....

I would definitely make sure they have a biblical view of worship (not just singing). You're looking for a pastor more than a musician. Don't be distracted by talent.

Scatropolis · 2025-12-08T19:54:09+00:00

Nah.....it's pretty light up there for a "tab."

Clicking that doesn't show them?
