Sorry this podcast is a day late. It was actually recorded yesterday, so everything will be as if yesterday (Sunday May 7) was today. The problem was that the podcast host's server crashed, and they're on a new server as of today. Worse, ALL my episodes were lost. The bright side is that they're all on my hard drive. So I'm re-uploading all of them one by one. It may take a while to get them all up, but they'll get there. Please bear with us.

Next Sunday is Mother's Day. So next week's show may also be a day late so the kids and I can spend the day with my wife.

Today we describe the organs of some Catholic Churches in Central Falls, Rhode Island (click the picture to the left to enlarge). Also, Shamus tells me, "You play like a Protestant!"
