First Music, Announcement Post of 2012!

Tribe,

Welcome back! First off, some odds and ends: 

 - Wednesday: Temple Sealings, 7PM, Temple. If you do Sealings, you'll feel this good inside. 

 - On or around the 14th of this month is our ward's Baptism day at the Temple. 

 - You may or may not have noticed that there are a few Mormons who want to be President. This has brought out levels of paranoia last heard on the call-in line for the Art Bell show. Leave it to our sophisticated cousins across the pond at the Economist to dismiss this silliness. Bless those crumpet-eating monocle-wearing pundits for their insight - and let's remember that respect is a form of love. Joking aside, it's refreshing to find dispassionate and fair press like this. As an aside, I'd like to plug the Economist Book of Obituaries as one of the best non-church books I've read in years.

Anyway, on with the Music Post!

It has come to my attention recently that the piano can be a really fun instrument - Carl Cutler is a prime example of this. Man, that guy has chops. Still, what if there were someone just slightly better?

Meet Tom Brier, man of epic ragtime genius and excellent sight-reader: 

Sight reading the Tetris theme, anyone? Leave it to the man with the mythologically-sized neck beard: 

He's not bad. Makes me appreciate the Piano more as an instrument. Also makes me wonder if we can sing the Cheers theme song in Elders Quorum.
