Joe, I only wish any of the music I have haerd in the Catholic church in the last 30 years bore any resemblance to the New Christy Minstrals, Kingston Trio etc. I would not mind singing Michael Row the Boat ashore every sunday for the rest of my life. And forget the 3 chords..they have chords that didn't exist before Vatican II. They have all sorts of odd times, 4/7 and 6/11 say, (I make this up) in the same song..all sorts of rests and odd directions on how to sing the song. you would not recognize it as music. Yesterday I had enough. Two of the worst singers you ahve ever heard sing at my church. They insist on practicing before Mass the same songs they sing in Mass. Once is all I can take. I stormed out during practice and told the greeters that I was about to hurt them and I meant it. They said they would bring it uop in the church council. it is hideous hideous crap. Although I am sure your church is different. mg
