An old college friend, Eric Rasmussen, playing an arrangement of "Eventide" by Raymond Haan

Personal thought of the day

I don't play for weddings and probably never will.  I find it to be unethical to play for weddings when there are people in our country who want to get married, but are denied this simple act of professing their love for someone due to the bigoted, spiteful opinions of others.  On a lighter side, it keeps me from having to waste time practicing all those tiresome pieces.

Food for thought....

The inspiration of the bible depends on the ignorance of the person who reads it.  ~Robert G. Ingersoll
