A classic viral Godzilla-attacking-Peeps image for our Easter 2023. Plus, three 78s--The Haydn Quartet's marvelous1908 recording of Robert Lowry's Christ Arose, the Trinity Quartet performing Jesus Lives! (1923), and the 1919 Memories of Easter, with more bang to the kettledrums than in my previous postings. Parts 1 and 2 of the latter were edited together (in a hopefully seamless fashion).
The remaining five selections feature me, totally live, on pipe organ--or, more accurately, the excellent Chapel Organ patch on my Casio WK-3800--and using the same snyth's Tubular Bells voice for the final selection, Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow, to the 17th-century tune of Lasst Uns Erfreuen, as memorably harmonized by Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1906. Not the easiest thing to play without the benefit of foot pedals, but luckily my piano teacher taught me how to finger just about anything. And my two Jesus Lives tunes are different, with different texts. And only the second title should have an exclamation mark--my typo.
Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, Lee!
Buster,
You, too! And we had nice weather in central Ohio, to boot. Our first non-gloomy day for... a while!
We ate our Peeps, so Easter is over, and now come flowers and herbs. Happy SPRING!
Diane,
The weather promises to be great... and the pollen promises to be high. Oh, well...
