Last summer when I was in Oklahoma I went out and purchased a $40 metronome. It had some pretty cool features that I didn’t have on my other metronome that I had left back here in Indiana.
Now when I got back to Indiana the end of last summer, I brought this new metronome to the church office so I could utilize it to its fullness.
Then I dropped it.
Since then it just hasn’t worked like I wanted it to. It will be going along JUST FINE until you touch it . . . then the whole thing just shuts down. It’s so frustrating!
Yesterday I was working on the timing of this one song with my piece of crap metronome and of course it stopped working about halfway through the chorus. Then lighting struck my brain – CHECK THE BATTERIES!
I opened up the back case of the metronome to find the generic batteries that came with the metronome. I replaced them with top notch Duracell Procell batteries and now my metronome works like a $40 metronome ought to! I felt like an idiot.

Ya . . . I’ve felt that way before.
