I must have been 24 at the time, and I had only heard that song once or twice before in my life.

Of course people should eventually develop more adult tastes, but so what? I still love my favorite children's books. But I've read "Moby Dick" twice too.<br /><br />Ha ha -- the word verification word is "mater"!Gail Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11740482509910163332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589378.post-5232034323674125022010-12-10T14:01:01.353-05:002010-12-10T14:01:01.353-05:00Regarding the first example: A traditional Catholi...Regarding the first example: A traditional Catholic hymn (with some Latin mixed in, to boot) sung by nuns in habit? Most parishes could (and, indeed, do) offer much worse by way of music.<br /><br />;-)Pro Ecclesiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814831624547392519noreply@blogger.com
