One of the most exciting things I've ever done musically was leading "Lord of the Dance" on a 5-string banjo on Easter Sunday in the oldest Catholic church in Maine. This was done at the recessional, just before people left. Before it ended, everybody was singing, guitars, banjo and tambourine were cutting loose and a 10-year-old was ringing the 200-year-old Paul Revere bell in celebration of the resurrection. I sang my heart out. I bet a lot of you non-Catholics don't believe that kind of thing happens very often in Catholic churches. You are right.
