This is a small experiment in the blogosphere. "If you have no interest in what it's like to grow old, what follows is not for you. However, if it's going to happen to you, and the outcome is ultimately going to be negative, then finding a way to make the process as bearable, even as enjoyable as possible, might be worth a little attention."—from John Jerome's On Turning Sixty-Five

Chanticleer at Christmas at the MOMA on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception
A gift from Nathaniel Peters at First Things, a little late for the feast of St Nicholas, and a little early for the Nativity and Epiphany.
But just right for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, celebrated at noon at St Patrick's Co-Cathedral this day, December 8th. The neat thing about this celebration was that it included a requiem mass for a beautiful and strong 92 year old lady. Her daughter, a Sister of Charity of Leavenworth nun, said that she would be thrilled to know that her requiem mass was celebrated on this day.
Chanticleer, a group of 12 guys, is really something special. This is an Ave Maria that seems kind of low key, perhaps more suited to a Jewish peasant, not so showy as other versions. Thank you Mr Franz Biebl. And you too, Chanticleer, and YouTube too.
