SMALL TOWN: I'll be on the organ this Sunday, March 9, 2025 (if my alarm clocks don't fail me) at 9:30 a.m. at First Baptist Church on Main Street.
Earlier this week, while I was rehearsing my last song in the sanctuary, I heard a rustling. Was it in my head? I kept playing. I hear it again — a mouse? No. A ghost? No. Turns out it was none other than Paul Kranz painting the vestibule behind the alter. Talk about a small town!
