...the assistant organist was hiding his light under a bushel...had a doctorate in organ performance from Juilliard and did a Fulbright in France . . . once we heard that, it was a full-court press to get him the job.

WOW! I'm glad his light's shining brightly now. No wonder you're in choir heaven. BTW, do you know where I can get copies of the St. Gregory Hymnal?

I got asked to be on the newly-resurrected liturgical committee at my parish which is reconsidering the V-II documents...we're reading them in light of "reform of the reform." So though the changes will be slow in coming, there are glimmers of hope.

yeah, he and his wife had just moved down here from a big church in NYC. Just couldn't stand the winters up there any more, so they headed south and bought a farm! (what a change from Manhattan!)

But NYC's loss is our gain! And to boot he's a wonderful person, very funny, very energetic, not at all proud, always ready to impart knowledge worth gold.

You can get the St. Gregory Hymnals over at Neumann Press. It's a reprint of the 1941 Organists' Edition (with all the harmonies and accompaniments). We were able to negotiate a quantity discount off the posted price.
