There's a long(er) and satisfyingly sweet story behind this one, but it's late....

Our band's founding member is stuck in a homecare situation now with his ailing wife; he's not ailing, he's just old and rickety, but she needs and demands a lot of attention, not all positive... and he's such a sweetie (nowadays anyway and he freely admits he wasn't always).

So we've taken to asking him to do the week's offertories, because then we know he will spend at least a little time each day playing and listening to new music at home, in the music room he has where he can't hear much else. I email him links to music he can hear online and try to play along with to pick out the new stuff.
