Have you ever sang certain hymns and wonder just where they went?  Well, today we start a little series of hymns that we miss over here, and we're using a hymnal that I'll bet is hardly remembered - the 1976 (premiere) edition of We Celebrate (The picture on the left is one of the logos I describe).  We combed through just the first 50 hymns alone and you should see what we came up with.  Also, we combed through all four editions of Worship and came up with a new hymnal containing the best of all four: Worship - Ultimate Edition!

We're covering a couple of topics in this hour (give or take 14 seconds) of fun! One answers the question of what a funeral is like at my parish.  What music do I play?  What music do we allow and disallow?  We cover that, as well as play a good number of pieces from a recent funeral.  The other describes the differences, improvements, and declines in the four hymnals pictured at left.  Also, does a pop singer deserve to have the American flag flown at half-mast?

Today we rate the Psalm section of the 2010 OCP Music Issue (Psalm section), as well as present my Lenten contributions to the Chabanel Responsorial Psalm Project.

Big storm? What big storm? Pictured at left are plows waiting for the "big snow storm." Only catch was, that storm never happened. We finally got some snow about 5:00 last night. It turned out the most we got in our city was a big whopping two inches! Opening segment was actually recorded about 1:00 that afternoon. Supposed blame? Shamus' snow machine malfunctioned!

Sorry I'm late. Computer acted up on me all night last night trying to get my podcast up. For some reason, it would not let me mix the show I had prepared as an .mp3 file. But I had no problem mixing it as a .wav. This morning, it loaded as an .mp3 with no problem, which ticked me off because everything I had recorded was aimed around yesterday - the Annunciation, even with the praying of the Angelus Prayer.

Anyhoo, today it's all up - the Angelus Prayer, and the first of a three-part series on Pope Benedict XVI's Apostolic Exhortation, Sacramentum Caritatis. Today we cover some of the introductory sections of this very important document.

We've got two miscellaneous outbursts today as well.

Feasts for the week: Annunciation. For more information, see the New Advent Website.

Well, I had all the intentions of having our choir's rendition of Mozart's Ave Verum played on this episode. However, using a new recorder, as well as the choir did, the recording itself was trash. It was nothing but noise, doing the choir's excellent work absolutely no justice. I apologize for the inconvenience.
