Subject: RE: Hymns vs. 'Praise Music'
I have to say that I once loved pipe organs. Recently, I've started to change my mind. The organists play so loud, you can't hear anybody sing. Do they think sforzando is the only way to play a pipe organ?
This is in high-class joints, mind you - churches that ought to be able to pay a decent organist. We had big pipe organs in the seminary, and they were wonderful - but the organists played to accompany the singing, not drown it out.

Gargoyle, I think you and I come from different parts of the world. Surfboards aren't a big thing in Milwaukee, where I grew up. People who try to surf Lake Michigan are called "idiots."
We sang this one.
