Well, I'm experiencing some resistance to what I'm 
playing.  I played the arrangment of "Once in Royal 
David's City" from last year's MIDI Christmas book last 
Sunday morning for the offertory.  Apparently, I'm not 
supposed to play "classical" music on my new Rodgers 
organ.  Or so, three or four rednecked, simpletons seem to 
think.  Wait until they get a load of Clay's arrangement 
of "For Unto Us" next Sunday.  *he he he*  Have any of the 
rest of you experienced resistance from "rural" people who 
aren't used to or have never been exposed to anything but 
the same old hymns?  If so, can you give me some help in 
how to convince them that other music fits the bill of 
music appropriate to music?  Or should I just right them 
off as ninnies and ignore them?

Thanks,
