    He's an amazing fellow and I am one of his fans - even if he does play Bach - LOL.

    That had to be a Catholic church since I thought I saw a copy of the wretched "Gather" on the organ.

    Look closely CharlesW...I believe it to be The Hymnal 1982.

    Well played Don.

    Yeah, it's there, too, on the left side of the music rack. Look at 1:43 or so at the Gather on the right side.

    Yep. It says Gather, big as day!

    I have no idea what church that is. The Episcopalians here don't use Gather, so I assumed a Catholic parish. I use The Hymnal 1940 quite often. It is one of the best hymnals ever, I think.

    The layout of the church, the hideous brown-black carpeting, and the tacky pews would be highly unlikely for an Episcopal church.
    Then, what kind of person would put a grand piano in what would be a sanctuary?
    Hymnal 1982 on the left.
    Gather on the right.

    The '82 has some really nice tunes in it (for instance, Ach Herr, du allerhochster Gott, no 219) that aren't found in other hymnals, but, as a whole, it doesn't by a very long shot stand up to the 1940.

    Don's playing is admirable!
