Subject: RE: 'Danny Boy' at Catholic funeral
Those who're sick of a certain genre of music will enjoy this
site: Society for a Moratorium on the Music of Marty Haugen and David Haas, or SMMMHDH

I was a liturgical musician through the late 70's and the 80's,
and have to admit to ownership of a very tattered G&P Vol 1.

A fine training ground in ensemble playing before a relatively
friendly audience.

Speaking of audiences, whenver the group got really good someone
would complain that it seemed more like a 'performance.' We'd
tell them that we'd make a concerted effort to suck next week.
You know, get four guitars (three of 'em twelve strings) all
playing wonka-wonka-wonka rhythms, turn all the D-chords into
D-major, bring in a flute player that hadn't played (or tuned)
since junior high...

That fixed 'em.
