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?

We managed to pull off a show in less than 40 minutes. Let's call this a pep talk of sorts. Why is that? Simple! The new translation of Holy Mass begins just ten days from today (today being XI-17-11, the day I'm uploading this podcast), and we at iSNARK! want to make sure you're as ready as humanly possible.  Of course, this doesn't go without a shameless plug from my own Holy Angels Mass.
Also: another update on my Psalm re-writes.
