I checked the survey results today just to get a picture of what’s been submitted so far. The title of this post says it all (well, not ALL all, but you get the idea). Overwhelmingly, the responses have been male (only a single female respondent thus far), young (30 and under, which is young to me, although there is one respondent who is over 50), and tenor in terms of singing voice (not surprising given the responses to the first two questions).

Trends are hard to identify, especially in unscientific surveys like this one. But the results actually don’t surprise me given the type of person that tends to frequent sites like Sacred Loops (and the type of person that tends to frequent sites that tend to point to Sacred Loops). One could argue that most visitors here are likely to fit the stereotype of the “young hip worship leader”, and I’m guessing that if we checked the playlists on the iPods of each one we’d find Coldplay, Radiohead, U2, and Death Cab for Cutie in heavy rotation. And that’s not a bad thing, especially if your alternative is Wally the Worship Leader.

What does it mean for Sacred Loops? I don’t know yet (other than I feel really old and perhaps out of my element). But I’ll continue to ponder the results and share some other observations as we go along. And I’ll also wonder about that one person who’s over 50 (which I’ll be in a few short years) and how they’re viewing their role in all this.

Interesting stuff. If you haven’t filled out the survey, please take a few minutes and give us some info about you. It’s completely anonymous and valuable to us as we plan the future.

More later.
