          included 18 singers, 8 musicians, and 4 or 5 technical

               Positive Reaction's repertoire consisted solely of                     
          contemporary Christian music, "some rock, some country, some                
          rhythm and blues."  Positive Reaction has performed in a number             
          of places including Orlando, Florida, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and areas            
          in the Twin Cities.  The group played "mostly" in Golden Valley.            
          Positive Reaction has received local and national media                     
          attention.                                                                  
               Positive Reaction recorded its music through High Praise               
          Productions (High Praise), a recording studio located at the same           
          address as the Church.  Also, High Praise marketed Positive                 
          Reaction's music through Christian bookstores, catalogues, radio,           
          and television.  High Praise produced three compact discs on                
          which petitioner was acknowledged as a contributing guitarist.              
          Petitioner also was acknowledged as a contributing guitarist on a
