Back in the "olden days" (c. 1977?) we used to have an organist who played
prelude music before Friday night services. (Now we have Adrian - G-d bless
him - who plays our wonderful Roland digital keyboard.)

The last organist employed by the temple was also the director of music for
St. Mary's (Roman Catholic) Cathedral. Most frequently he would play Gregorian
Chants. This didn't seem to bother anybody else, but it drove me crazy!
Because I am a Jew by Choice and a graduate of a Catholic university, I knew
all the words . . . in Latin.

I STILL like the Gregorian chants but I am happier not to hear them in shul.

Pax Vobiscum,
