In a previous post, I wrote about the fantastic sound of the Elysian Trumpet and the beautiful musicianship of Irvin Mayfield, Jr. when he played "Amazing Grace" at the Eucharistic service at Christ Church Cathedral in New Orleans, during the House of Bishops meeting. You can watch and hear his performance.

OK, the post about Lindy and Rowan had me tear up. Now I am weeping. That song is very special to me- as it is for so many of us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a performance.
BTW the link went to Bishop Katherine's video, but I paged down and found the trumpet performance. (unless it was also in her video?)
Wow, I am so moved. Thank you.
Fran, there's no direct link that I can find to Mayfield's performance. You must scroll down. It's a beautiful thing.
ReplyDeleteScary about Lindy and Rowan, isn't it?
