Take Five

If you haven't figured it out yet,my tastes in music vary greatly-I like everything from traditional country and bluegrass to 50's and 60's "golden oldies" to classic rock to 1980's Top 40.

One passion that I have that fewer and fewer folks seem to share these days is for jazz. You just can't find many folks that seem to care much for good jazz anymore, at least in our part of the world. But I love jazz-I wish more people had "that swing."




This is one of my very favorite jazz pieces. The Dave Brubeck Quartet and Take Five.

The Green Glens of Antrim

One of the things we know about my mother's side of the family is that quite a few of them came to this country back in the mid-1700's from County Antrim.


Here is "The Green Glens of Antrim."

Winter Storm Is Eastbound and Down

The winter nastiness that much of East Tennessee either is experiencing or is about to experience has moved in an eastward path almost entirely through the corridor of Interstate 40. As a result, the eastbound snowstorm is about to be the first ever given its own theme song thanks to Smokey and the Bandit and Jerry Reed.

New Year's Day

Amid the hope of New Years Day, Tennesseans have learned that our longtime Lieutenant Governor died early this morning, while 2010 promises to be a very good year for Republicans if the political situation remains even remotely like it presently is.

The Trumpet Shall Sound, and We Shall Be Changed


Teddy Tahu Rhodes sings a beautiful version of my favorite aria from Handel's Messiah.

I Corinthians 15:51-52:

Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall all indeed rise again: but we shall not all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall rise again incorruptible: and we shall be changed.

At the Lamb's High Feast

As the Church again celebrates the Eucharist in the Mass readings this week, at our parish we opened with one of my favorite hymns, seen here at this video taken at St. Matthias Church in Dallas.

John 6:57-70:


For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever. These things he said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capernaum.

Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard, and who can hear it? But Jesus, knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you? If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you, are spirit and life. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who he was, that would betray him.

And he said: Therefore did I say to you, that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father. After this many of his disciples went back; and walked no more with him. Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away? And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we have believed and have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.
