| Woodstown's Water Tower got a fresh coat of paint and is clearly feeling some school spirit these days, decked out in its best Blue and Orange! |
Hear ye, hear ye! O yez, o yez!
HOLIDAY: Easter was simply outstanding this year! A beautiful, temperate day, and I didn't make too many mistakes playing the organ at First Baptist Church ... a big win! On a personal note, kudos to my mother for gathering our entire family, near and far, together for a big celebration on Easter Sunday. 'Twas a fabulous time. We even hosted an Easter Egg hunt for three little ones with 100 brightly colored eggs peppered across our front lawn (and trees, and bushes).
WEDDING: I had the honor of playing organ for the Wedding of Elinor Frank & Ethan Rucker on Saturday, April 26, 2025. It was a beautiful day (the rain mostly held off), a stunning ceremony, and a fabulous reception. Many thanks go out to the First Baptist Church staff and family of the couples who hosted the wedding and made it such a success.
ORGAN: I'll be at the organ this Sunday, May 4, 2025 at First Baptist Church in Woodstown on Main Street. Come ready to sing! It'll be a nice way to welcome the month of May as we settle into the spring.
