On this videocast, I'm issuing the same challenge that I issued earlier in the week on Christus Vincit ANYWHERE! episode #105. I forgot to mention in the videocast, however, that the deadline for submission is December 16, 2007 - Gaudete Sunday (as well as Beethoven's birthday... I've been an avid Peanuts fan since I was a wee one, and I still remember that Schroeder once had a big birthday party for Beethoven).

You'll love our doggie treat. I didn't write this one; got it from a local colleague. I did attempt to do my best Burt Bacharach ripoff with it.

Sorry it's been so long since the last show. However, we did do some improving of the sound on this one. It actually lines up with the video now. That's because instead of using the camera audio, I used the audio from my trusty Olympus DS-30 recorder, then doctored it with Audacity before putting it together on ShowBiz.

Today we talk about the Extraordinary Form of the Mass that I played at St. Leo the Great Church in Pawtucket, RI.
We also play a (roughly) 90-second re-enactment of the 100th episode of Christus Vincit ANYWHERE! -- performed by squirrels!
