Then before throwing out a perfectly good hymn because of the arrangement, set a new one. If the accompaniment doesn't sound 'pop', that will remove the association with the execrable Mr. Stevens (he murders the tune, anyhow.)

Well, some of us just don't like it no matter where it came from.

We have an awful lot of dead wood and trash - truly rotten music - to get rid of before we start throwing out music because of mere passing associations. Then we can start weaning the congregation back onto the old Catholic stuff (but you have to make sure that they don't put that awful random leap into the middle of "Infinite thy vast domain". Shudder.)

Actually, since we all do it the same way, it can't be that random. It's the way we all learned it before we could read music.

Bad music to ditch...where to start...hmmm.

Well, not tonight. Still getting over the head cold that we've been passing among the choir members. I'm the most recent victim. 'Night.

Good night! We'll conduct an Inquisition on Bad Hymns some other day.

I need to hit the hay myself. Drove 14 hours today. . . . eek!
