Organist - shoe-less (with snare drum!)

I've been advocating playing in socks for a long time. It looks at least one other Indiana church organist shares my point of view.

"I like to play without shoes so that I can feel the key pedals," [Mattie] Sellers said. "It's like trying to play the keyboard with a thick pair of gloves on. It just doesn't work."
Adcock, Kyle. "She enjoys playing God's music." Marion Chronicle-Tribune. 31 March 2005.

Organist - Sanitation

Since I've actually thought about doing this to support myself later in life, I'm glad to see that it has been a viable career option for this guy.

update - Lenten

So, I thought I was going to be able to post 40 pictures during Lent, and Holy Week starts tomorrow.

So far I have 12.

Think I'll make it? Neither do I. But I might come close. I have a few pictures in store, and a few that I am expecting from other people. I also have a few that I forgot to take, but you probably won't see those. Ever.

(I decided to allow myself this little note since today is the Feast of St. Joseph.)

Archon

The author of this website is an organist whom the New York Times calls “repeatedly, insisting that he pay for his subscription”. He likes to read parking meters, music, Indianapolis Monthly, and weather forecasts in Celsius, particularly whilst wearing cassock and surplice. He serves lasagna, overhand, as an example to many, and on ecclesiastical juries. He mixes salads, drinks, and metaphors. He takes photos, lots of dinner mints, and a little bit of time to get to know.
