a couple more
Jun. 26th, 2012 09:19 ampoints about the funeral I attended yesterday.
1. The priest gave the Gospel reading out of a small white three-ring binder. It has more impact when it comes from a gigantic gilt-edged tome.
2. A daughter sang Schubert's Ave Maria. There's a difference between a vibrato and a warble.
3. The closing hymn was "When the Saints Go Marching In." Never heard that at a funeral before. Catholics do not sing with gusto.
