and more music...

 No fireworks at church today but, thanks to our wonderful organist. I felt like I was back at the Patriotic Pops Concert from last night.  I really like our organist because he so obviously enjoys playing our big old Aeolian Skinner pipe organ.  It just comes through in his playing.  This morning, in keeping with the holiday, he played improvisations on "Oh Beautiful for Spacious Skies" during Communion.  That was really beautiful, but the real showstopper, if I can use that term about a church service was the postlude.  Or you can think of it as the grand finale if you prefer.  He played "The Stars and Striped Forever" and it was amazing.  My friend said the song always reminds her of the circus, and that was ok.  It was lively and lovely and the prefect end to the church service today.
