One of the Elders in my mission, who later went on to play piano for one of the major symphonies in the U.S., once played a beautiful arrangement of the Oscar Mayer Wiener song as the prelude music for a baptism. It was outstanding, but several of us had to excuse ourselves from the chapel in a fit of giggles.
Yeah, this one is pretty autobiographical. While I never tried to play "Mary Had a Little Lamb" for priesthood opening exercises, given the choice between that and some of my sorry attempts to play the hymns, I suspect most of the guys in the room would have opted for the nursery rhyme.
Today's gag is featured in this month's New Era.
lol!
ReplyDeleteI would like to see more of the Piano man :)
