I'm not sure how we got from choir directors and bishops/pastors to saintly old ladies who probably prayed the younger priests' vocations into existence (if only so that they themselves could be assured of the possibility of last rites and a proper Mass of Christian Burial - everyone remember to tell one's heirs "if you cremate me and put me on the mantlepiece I *will* haunt you") but I, at least, would definitely like nice ziti dinners when I am old.
the bad music people are almost always Boomers, who need a ziti dinner and a hearty handshake from Father for all their years of service to St. Joseph the Worker and St Lawrence combined parish.
heh. I hope that no one imagines, just because I am GenX, that I didn't once spend several years playing guitar at a young people's guitar Mass, and couldn't play Anthem or City of God even now, if handed a tuned instrument and sheet music. Generation X however, is tired and has to get up early in the morning.
Yes. These younger pastors have to get more comfortable shuffling these blue haired old ladies off with a nice ziti dinner in the parish hall.
