Ever wish for the good old days when everybody loved the sound of an organ? I
just came across the following delightful quote while reading
_Cathedrals_and_Abbeys_of_England_and_Wales_ (Richard Morris; Norton 1979; p.
172).
The subject of these lines is a certain Dr. Tye:
"...a peevish and humoursome [moody] man, especially in his latter dayes, and
sometimes playing on ye Organ in ye chap. of qu. Elizab. wh. contained much
musick, but little delight to the ear, she would send ye verger to tell him yt
played out of Tune, whereupon he sent word yt her ears were out of Tune."
Still chuckling,
Bill Ehrke
