A number of people, no doubt sick to death of my endless carping and ranting (and perhaps feeling a smidgen of pity for me, as well) have recommended the book "Why Catholics Can't Sing: The Culture of Catholicism and the Triumph of Bad Taste," by Thomas Day, a Catholic organist. I bought it yesterday and am pleased to report not only is it a hoot, Day takes no prisoners, but it is informative as well, the writer knows of what he speaks.

One piece of advice from him I can can already heartily endorse: "Melt down the microphones or beat them into plowshares."
